“‘Level up even while offline’?! That’s not a game on ‘easy mode’—that’s just an AFK game!” The online game Yamada Kenichi had been playing religiously is shutting down its servers, leaving him with a void in his heart. He looks for a new game to fill it, but everything he finds is way too easy. The kind of game he likes—the kind punishing enough to make players want to spend thousands of hours on it—just isn’t around anymore. “What’s this? ‘You are invited to a game that will never end.’” Kenichi stumbles upon an untitled game, one promising incomparable challenge with unprecedented potential. Without hesitation, he selects the “Hell Mode” difficulty. Lo and behold, he finds himself reincarnated in another world as a serf! Now called Allen, he sets out to unlock the secrets of his mystery-laden Summoner class; without the convenience of walkthroughs, game guides, or online forums, he must grope his way to the top of his new world!

Growing up beneath a mountain of debt his parents left behind, Adrian's life was anything but easy. His only escape? Movies. Games... Especially a blocky little one that's better left unnamed for copyright reasons. Then one day, reality itself broke! A divine rift swallowed him whole and dropped him into the realm of a Goddess who was just as confused as he was. Unfortunately, returning to Earth is impossible. Fortunately, the Goddess made a mistake. A very expensive mistake. Now... armed with suspiciously familiar game mechanics, Adrian finds himself stranded in a cliché fantasy world filled with monsters, kingdoms, magic, and endless opportunities. Most importantly, opportunities to make money. Lots of money. Life-changing amounts of money. The kind of money that makes common sense optional! Trees can be harvested. Stone can be mined. Entire houses can be built in minutes! And apparently, all of this is completely normal. Well... Normal for Adrian at least. As Adrian pursues his dream of becoming ridiculously rich, he somehow profits from situations he really shouldn't, acquires a very unwilling bodyguard, terrifies experts, shows the middle finger to common sense, and repeatedly proves that game logic and reality should never mix! The worst part? It works... most of the time that is. And if this fantasy world expected a brave hero destined to save the day... It couldn't be more wrong. Adrian Mendes is far more dangerous than that!
