Description: [edit] [history]

This is a story about a regular guy who worked in a call center. As you might expect, he hated his job. Then he was dropped into a fantasy world right out of the games he grew up playing.

Unfortunately, playing a game and living the life of an action hero are completely different propositions -- even if the world plays by gaming rules. Now stranded in the middle of nowhere with a class he does not understand, a menu system that's a little too loose, and no idea how any of it is supposed to work, follow our 'hero' as he stumbles his way to greatness. Eventually.

Author's note: The tags are there for a reason. If you are uncomfortable with sex, cursing, or slow mental and physical transformation, then this story will not appeal to you.

Attention new readers: What you will find here is the first five chapters of Book I, but beyond that is the rough draft version of Book II, which is still in the process of being written. If you would like to catch up to the story, I would encourage you to head over to Amazon and pick up the first novel beforehand. It's been professionally edited and everything!

I do own the cover picture. It was commissioned and paid for by the wonderful artist Dragan Panauvic.

Thank you!
