He Who Fights With Monsters: Adventurer

***PRE-ORDER THE SECOND BOOK IN SHIRTALOON'S MAGICAL AND MONSTROUS LITRPG SERIES*** 
 
The path from retail middle management to interdimensional wizard adventurer wasn’t easy, but Jason Asano is settling into his new life. 
 
Now, a contest draws young elites to the city of Greenstone, competing for a grand prize. Jason must gather a band of companions if he is to stand a chance against the best the world has to offer. 
 
While the young adventurers are caught up in competition, the city leaders deal with revelations of betrayal as a vast and terrible enemy is revealed. Jason thinks he’s on the sidelines—until it becomes clear he’s already crossed the wrong path. With allies and enemies closing in, one thing is certain: this contest is only the beginning, and the coming conflict will change everything.

Travis Deverell, A.K.A. Shirtaloon, was working on a very boring academic paper when he realised that writing about an inter-dimensional kung fu wizard would be way more fun. 
 
To his surprise and delight, Deverell found a warm and welcoming audience in the world of online serialized fiction. Transitioning his work into actual books, he is continually startled at the appetite for his particular blend of high magic, wild adventure and absurd nonsense.

Matt Dinniman, New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

Jason wakes up in a world of magic and monsters—naked, alone, and very confused. One minute he’s a store manager, the next he’s been accidentally summoned by a wizard who immediately tries to kill him. Rude.Now he’s stuck in a land of cannibal blood cultists, deadly creatures, and complicated politics. The good news? He has powers. The bad news? They’re all… evil.To survive, Jason will need allies, reputation, and a crash course in a world that can’t decide if he’s a hero or a threat. Because here, power isn’t just about monsters—and if he can’t control his darkness, something worse will.
