Gabe Skelter has a temper, which he likes to imagine has the effect of causing people to fear and respect him. On the contrary, his pudgy, underdeveloped body and negative personality make him more your standard outcast teenager. Worse still, he kinda knows what a jerkweed he actually is.Then, in the middle of a class trip, Gabe finds himself spirited away to Regaia: a world of magic, mayhem, and nerd-tastic adventure. Naturally, he’s completely ill-prepared. But in this realm, he’s a monstrous, muscular man of action. Unfortunately, he’s still saddled with the frightfully unimpressive brains of a teenage loser.Now, Gabe must make his burly, bulky way in a land where the strong dominate, the powerful rule, and picking a class has nothing to do with algebra . . . and everything to do with survival.

Henry and Jason were two regular guys before being transported to Ludus, a dangerous fantasy world. Luckily, they have at least a few useful skills, and more importantly, can learn to use magic. Now they will need to survive a world where nothing is familiar, where monsters roam the wilderness and alien people populate the cities. The two friends will need to dig deep, discovering who they are and what it means to be human. Unfortunately, making money will also be important, and working as fantasy adventurers in real life...isn't always fun.
