Description: [edit] [history]

Cam Wells is a high school science teacher in his late twenties who plays in a weekly D&D game. He is thoughtful, risk averse, honest, and quiet. His game character—the powerful wizard Eldren Pendergast—is anything but.

When Cam accidentally stumbles upon an unsigned contract to become a temporary mage and fill a magical employment shortage at a high lord's court, he jokingly signs on the dotted line. Now, he finds himself alone on the continent of Aldimea on the front line of a war between a dark witch Coven, a secret society of spell archivists, and an overzealous church that maintains its grip on power through the brutal persecution of unsanctioned magic.

But the real problem? Cam doesn't know the first thing about being a mage. As he adventures to complete spell shrines and grow his spell book and powers, he'll meet cartographers who are more than they seem, crime lords who are less than they seem, and an erratic pistol wielding dwarf-- among other charming friends and ruthless foes. As he grows more powerful, he'll begin to unravel the mystery of the temporary mage contract itself and discover that his newfound circumstances may not be as accidental as they first appear.

Follow along as Cam becomes his own game character, Eldren Pendergast, in real life. If he can be become powerful enough, he just might be able to defeat his enemies and find a way home. New chapters on Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 3 PM EST.

The first two arcs of the story is pre-written, being edited, and posting. Thanks for reading! Please rate and review if you have the time. All feedback is welcome!

Expect:

- Whimsical & witty humor, characters, and banter

- A fantasy setting with varied cultures and climates between volumes as the story progresses.

- A table-top game pace: slow build with plenty of side adventures and suspense as the main player character finds their footing. I DM a real life campaign for my wife and friends, so that's a part of the inspiration for trying to tell this story in a "session by session" way

- Magical politics and espionage

Don't expect:

- An unfinished story

- There are no harems or sexual content

- No overly emo MC

- Heavy stat crunching
