About

Update as of September 23rd, 2024: I'm actively seeking producers for the Book 1 audiobook over on ACX. Anyone who'd like to audition is welcome. Book 1 is live both on kindle and as a hardcover. The latter is available wherever books are sold, at least in the U.S. It's also available through Amazon everywhere. That being said, I have no plan, at this time, to take it down from RR. It will remain on Royal Road for the foreseeable future. Still, if you'd like to support the author, purchasing the kindle version would be a good way to do it.  Jackson Thomas Grenell is a veteran of an ugly war, trying to forget the things he experienced. He plays video games, practices HEMA, and escapes into the other worlds of isekai anime. Only the dubs, of course. He watches anime and reads books. Imagine his surprise when he's run down in his own living room while playing his favorite computer RPG and awakens in another world. One of fantasy monsters, magic, and mighty heroes. Imagine, too, the surprise of those he encounters there. See, the previous hero has already defeated the demon lord and become king. So why then, is Jack here?
