More about He Who Fights With Monsters, Book 1: Outworlder:
"Exciting, hilarious, irreverent, and action-packed." —Matt Dinniman (New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl)
Survive an alternate universe and jump into the first installment of the witty and magic-fueled HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS series—now with a bonus short story exclusive to this deluxe hardcover edition.
What’s it like to wake up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters?
It’s not easy.
For Jason, making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer is surreal. 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.
Jason’s a stranger in a strange land, and if he’s going to survive, he’ll have to find something inside himself he never knew was there.
He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.
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.
About the series: An isekai culture clash is unleashed as a laid-back Australian finds himself in a very serious world. See him gain suspiciously evil powers through a unique progression system combining cultivation and traditional LitRPG elements. Enjoy a weak-to-strong story with a main character who earns his power without overshadowing everyone around him, with plenty of loot, adventurers, gods and magic. Rich characters and world-building offer humor, political intrigue and slice-of-life elements alongside lots of monster fighting and adventure.

The bonus short story "When Farrah Met Gary"
Sprayed edges
Spot gloss dust cover
Foil-stamped case
