Summoning a Ghost T-Rex! | The Daily Grind of Divine Rewards - Ep 2 (Urban Fantasy Audiobook)
What happens when an S-Tier System Skill meets a military firing squad? Absolutely nothing.

In Episode 2 of The Daily Grind of Divine Rewards, Alex Thorne tests the absolute limits of his new reality. Armed with his newly acquired "Kinetic Immunity" from a highly classified black site, Alex shrugs off a hail of bullets and sets his sights on even bigger prizes.

Realizing he needs offensive capabilities to survive the hidden dangers of the city, Alex heads to the Metropolitan Museum of Natural History. What is a prehistoric skeleton worth to the Omnipotent Registry System? Enough to give Alex the power to summon an ethereal, monstrous T-Rex construct. And he's going to need it, because the hidden world—the Veil—is bleeding into reality, and starving Glasshounds are on the hunt.

🎧 Featuring original atmospheric and synthwave soundtracks.

01:03stomach the moment the tip of the knife made contact with his skin it stopped dead the guard
01:09pushed with all his weight veins bulging in his neck but the blade simply bent folding back on itself
01:14with a metallic groan okay that's officially cool alex grinned but the veil of approaching sirens a lot

02:46obstacles his eyes drifted to the imposing stone structure across the street the metropolitan
02:52museum of natural history the museum was notoriously massive housing artifacts from every era of human
02:58and pre-human history it was a nexus of history memory and if his theory about the system held true
03:04latent energy he packed up his stove tossed the empty noodle cup in the trash and crossed the street
03:11he paid the entry fee with some quarters he'd scrounged from his apartment floorboards
03:14stepping into the cavernous main hall the air was cool and smelled of old paper and floor wax
03:20looming in the center of the atrium was a fully assembled tyrannosaurus rex skeleton
03:24its fossilized jaws frozen in a silent roar alex walked right up to the velvet rope separating the
03:30public from the prehistoric apex predator he waited watching the digital clock in his peripheral vision

04:57towering skeleton the mundane world around him was starting to peel away revealing the impossible geometry
05:03underneath and for the first time in his life he was the one holding the brush to paint over it
05:13chapter 3 beyond the veil alex didn't test his new power in the museum even with his newfound
05:19invulnerability to physical harm summoning a ghostly dinosaur in the middle of a crowded tourist
05:23attraction felt like a one-way ticket to a government black site with better containment protocols than
05:28okay one he slipped out through the heavy revolving doors the late afternoon sun casting long golden
05:33shadows across the concrete steps but as he walked down the street something was different the city
05:39felt thin he turned down a narrow alleyway behind a row of grimy laundromats and takeout joints seeking
05:45a quiet route back to his apartment as the ambient noise of traffic faded the glowing blue symbols on the
05:51back of his right hand his sinus mark began to pulse with a steady rhythmic heat the air in the
05:57alleyway
05:57rippled the brick walls seemed to fold inward the mundane geometry of dumpsters and fire escapes
06:02peeling away like dead skin through the distortions alex saw a shadowy corridor bleeding into reality
06:08filled with floating amber symbols that defied gravity he had stepped into the veil a translucent
06:14holographic screen snapped into existence in front of his face its neon blue light contrasting sharply
06:19with the golden sunset filtering through the grime of the alley system alert spatial anomaly detected

06:31his hoodie pockets he kept his posture relaxed a slight smirk playing on his lips guess the hidden
06:38world doesn't want to stay hidden anymore a low vibrating growl echoed from the shadows of the
06:43impossible corridor three figures detached themselves from the gloom they looked like starved wolves but
06:49their flesh was made of shifting jagged obsidian glass and their eyes burned with a sickly violet light
