You meet the most interesting men in medieval prisons. This one time, I met a guy who offered me immortality for the low, low price of changing my diet. I didn’t read the fine print.

Mikura Moriya expected a quiet and peaceful life in the forest when he inherited his great-grandfather’s house and enormous orchard. Someone had to keep the family business running, so he quit his job and decided to live off the land. But the house isn’t in any old forest...it’s deep in the Beastly Wilds, an area off-limits to most humans. For the Wilds are home to the Beastfolk—neither human nor animal, but something in between.

Being summoned to protect a burger joint from a monster, teach a class at the magic academy, or dealing with film critic cats, is something Rico is almost used to at this point.

Rico’s gathered his allies, amassed powerful magic, and prepared in every way he can think of, but will it be enough?

Being summoned to random worlds by others is becoming a familiar event for Rico, and with each bizarre challenge the system throws at him, his strength grows.

It was supposed to be another boring day at the insurance office for Rico Kline, but powerful forces had other plans for him. Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run the occasional errand for his various summoners. At least when each summoning is over, he’s rewarded and sent back home. But being back home has its own set of problems, and he'll need to grow stronger to face it all.

For fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, the epic sequel to the LitRPG adventure novel How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps. Yui has leveled up and become the Hero the world needed, but there’s always another boss to battle... On the wedding day of Dirk Lord (the Demon King) and Princess...

Rico Kline is finding that the life of a summoned being isn’t an easy one. At any moment he could be summoned to another world and ordered to participate in a battle, be experimented on by strange species, or even babysit a deadly monster. His life on Earth isn’t any easier, as mysterious people and organizations try to track him down for their own nefarious purposes. Despite the dangers, Rico’s power continues to grow as the system rewards his efforts.

Earth continues to struggle as the system infuses our world with mana. Creatures and those seeking power lurk on the fringes and it’s up to Rico and the other summoned beings to hold back the tide. With each summoning, Rico grows in power, and that power will help him resist the threats to our world. Unfortunately, there is threat right under Rico’s nose, a threat that might not only spell Rico’s doom, but also Earth’s.

Things are heating up on Earth, and Rico is doing his best to keep a lid on the chaos. But it’s not easy to help deal with the threats at home when you’re randomly summoned away at a moment’s notice.

The rewards for each summoning are nice, but a new arena challenge awaits Rico, and if he can come out on top, he just might gain the power he needs to keep our world safe.

Becoming a widow on my fortieth birthday was not what I had planned. Even worse? It's forced me and my teenage daughter back to Whispering Willows and the life of magic I left behind. I tell myself it'll be a short trip to sell my mother's shop of wishes. Until I kind of, sort of bind myself to the shop.

It's our legacy, what I want to pass down to my daughter.
