He Who Fights with Monsters

Jason wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters. It's not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, 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. He's going to need courage, wit, and some magic powers of his own. But first, he's going to need pants.

The path from retail middle management to interdimensional wizard adventurer wasn't easy, but Jason Asano is settling into his new life. 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. Although Jason seems uninvolved, he has unknowingly crossed the enemy's path before — and friends and foes made along the way will lead him to cross it again as inevitable conflict looms.

For all that Jason's new life is amazing, he is about to learn that his new power, wealth, and influence come at a price. Riding high on success, he and his team are preparing for the challenges ahead. Nothing, however, could prepare him for the lessons his enemies have to teach. When magic is involved, the stakes can be even greater than life and death. While Jason's personal enemies make plans, the greater foes plaguing his new home have been pushed to the brink — and with one powerful card left to play, they are on a collision course with Jason and his team.

In the wake of an unexpected homecoming, Jason questions if there is still a place for him in the world he left behind. Forced to confront what he has become in his time away, he feels more alien than ever. But his old world is hiding secrets he never knew. As he starts to unravel what has been hidden from him his entire life, he discovers that not only might he fit in better than ever — he may be exactly what the world needs.

Jason has discovered that his homeworld is not what he thought — and the rest of the planet is on the precipice of sharing his revelation. With magic on the rise and forces pulling him in multiple directions, Jason is faced with challenges greater than ever before. Even as his power reaches new and incredible heights, he is confronted with the realization that going beyond his best is still not enough.

The world teeters on the brink of destruction. The people who should be saving the Earth ignore Jason Asano's warnings and choose to loot the house as it burns down around them. He lacks the strength to save the world himself, but resolves to do it anyway — impossible be damned. The impossible means seizing a power that no mortal should touch, a choice from which there is no turning back. Holding the fate of two worlds in his hands, Jason must decide for himself what home truly means.

Jason arrives at a kingdom in peril and is surprised to discover that it's not his job to save it. With the authorities fulfilling their responsibilities for once, he looks forward to some quiet time to rest and recuperate. But Jason has no shortage of people looking to interfere with his rest. Enemies old and new are circling, and even would-be allies are trouble. A princess finds him inconveniently alive, an ancient king arrives at his barbecue, and the local Church of Fertility are uncomfortably enthusiastic about including him in their practices. Jason is finally back in the world he longed for, but he is not the same man he was when he left. As the pressure mounts, allies and enemies alike will find that out the hard way.

After a much longed-for reunion, Jason Asano works on moving past old traumas as he looks to a brighter future. Getting back in the saddle as an adventurer, he finds challenges are not hard to come by as enemies that have lurked in the background start moving into the light. Jason and his friends use schemes of their own to take the fight to the enemy, and Jason will push new boundaries — at a cost that moves him deeper into the realms of cosmic power.

With the Builder threat behind them, the time has finally come for Jason and his team to hit the road. Eager to get back to adventuring, Jason is excited to not be at the center of world-changing events. But threats that once loomed in the background start coming to the fore, and their new angelic adversaries are patient, powerful, and remorseless — their strategies making mass slaughter only the beginning. Jason is forced to confront that his growing power may give him more in common with his foes than his friends.

Following the devastating attack on Yaresh, its people are left to pick up the pieces. Jason's actions during the battle have brought unwelcome attention from allies and enemies alike, while a danger comes to light that shifts everyone's agenda. Deep underground, a hidden civilization has survived by tapping into a long-buried power. That power's growing instability becomes both a threat and an opportunity to the warring surface factions — leading to an uneasy alliance with a reluctant Jason at the center. There are more players involved than any of them realize, and soon they will have greater problems than each other.
