Duncan grew up in an isolated valley, determined to become a hero of legend. When he is flung through a portal to a land far from his home, he must survive and grow stronger quickly. New forces led by powerful otherworldly beings are beginning to make their presence felt, and he has been chosen by Medim's absent gods to face them. Assuming, of course, that he can navigate a society he doesn't entirely understand and find allies he can trust.

Life Quest assigned: Head to the next town over and pick up a loaf of bread.At first glance, the absurd life quest seemed almost fitting for a Level 1 Messenger Girl, but Evelia Greene could hardly hide her disappointment. She'd never count herself among the number of brave adventurers defending Leshk from terrifying monsters. She'd never explore lost ruins and uncover ancient magics. She'd never earn a speeding ticket for running at superhuman speeds in a human-speeds zone.Okay, maybe that last one wasn't quite as disappointing.But when bakers go on strike, goblins attack, and bakeries spontaneously combust as Eve enters town, bit by bit this bullshit quest might just earn its Legendary difficulty and the sweet, sweet exp that comes with it. Things just might get a bit silly along the way.
Victor can’t wait to get the hell out of high school, go to the local community college on a sports scholarship, and start his own life. But that’s all put on hold when he enters his abuela’s house and somehow ends up stepping into a world unlike anything he’s ever known, filled with fantastical meta-humans; walking, talking devils; and other creatures one usually needs some serious pharmaceuticals to see.Fanwath is no dream, though. In fact, it’s a nightmare. Sold into slavery as a pit fighter, Victor quickly learns his new home is controlled by the “System” and the only way to get ahead is to fight, kill, and collect the precious “Energy” that means the difference between a long life and an early grave. And according to his stats, Victor’s starting out at a solid zero.Lucky for him, no one in this world has ever met his kind before—which means they have no idea what he’s really capable of. But they’re about to find out . . .
