What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world?

Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, maybe play some videogames... Rinse and repeat.

It was far from perfect, but it was nice and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to come down over the world. Anyways, he had suspected the last two were likely to be about equally probable, and perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it.

Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans?

Sure, he's yet to know exactly what those plans might be but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon...

Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension.

Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind.

Whatever.

One thing's patently clear though, he's certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving...

That being said, for the time being, and before doing anything else, he'd better first find some real clothes. And a better weapon. And, maybe, an actual job.

Just what kind of fool does the System take him for?

Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning.

Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats.

Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
