He Who Fights with Monsters, Book 1

"Exciting, hilarious, irreverent, and action-packed." —Matt Dinniman (New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl) Survive an alternate universe and jump into the first installment of the witty and magic-fueled HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS series—now with a bonus short story exclusive to this deluxe hardcover edition. What’s it like to wake up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters? It’s not easy. For Jason, making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer is surreal. Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. Jason’s a stranger in a strange land, and if he’s going to survive, he’ll have to find something inside himself he never knew was there. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants. Experience the start of this legendary million-copy best-selling LitRPG epic where a snarky underdog takes on everything from corrupt aristocrats to literal gods in HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS, Book 1: OUTWORLDER.
