"Exciting, hilarious, irreverent, and action-packed." —Matt Dinniman, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

It's not an easy career jump, going from retail assistant manager to interdimensional adventurer.
Jason doesn't have much of a choice, though, when he wakes up naked confused in a world of mystery and magic. It wasn't prophecy that brought him here. He wasn't chosen.
It was the wrong place, the wrong time and the very, very wrong guy. The wizard who summoned him by accident does not react well. In short order, Jason will have to fight monsters, face cultists, escape cannibals and find some pants, preferably not in that order.
The good news? He has powers. The bad news? They're kind of evil. With no idea where he is or what he's doing, he's going to need friends, and fast, because in this world, power isn't just about magic and monsters.
Jason will have to deal with politicians, noble houses and crime lords to survive. He'll need to master his powers, evil or not, hopefully without becoming the worst monster of all.
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.
