An isekai action comedy featuring a normal guy who's just about done with this ****.

All he wanted was some beer and a pack of donuts. Instead, Drake got abducted, tossed into a fantasy world, and almost ritually executed by a pro-wrestler monk with performance issues.

After stabbing his rather idiotic kidnapper to death, he magically inherits the old fart's massive mansion, servants, mountains of gold, and deadly magic powers... which would be great if it also didn't paint a giant target on his back.

Now that he's the lord of Gloomwood Manor, countless enemies seek to kill Drake and take his title. Before that happens, he must learn to use his powerful magic, win his people's loyalty, and fake being powerful until he actually becomes so powerful no one dares challenge him.

Rise of a Manor Lord is a humorous adventure fantasy featuring cat girls, battle maids, political machinations, and a habit of setting the worst isekai tropes on fire and tossing them in the garbage.
