Contender Saga
S+94/100eBook by Dave Willmarth
A simple farm boy turned soldier, on the verge of avenging his destroyed home and family, is killed in battle. His soul is transferred against his will by a god to another world — one filled with magic, monsters, and races from fairy tales — where he is now a Contender. Brought to Midgard to fight and kill other Contenders and ascend as a Champion, he wants no part of that violence. Instead he seeks to grow stronger through quests and monster hunting. But other Contenders will come for him — and they will try to kill him.
