Getting kidnapped by the System and dumped into a fantasy world wasn't on Elias Critchley's to-do list. Still, he's managed to stay alive, level up, and keep most of his insides on the inside.

Elias and his friends have made their way to Hepton. Having survived the System's demands so far, they are about to start on the next stage of their adventure. With new powers, tougher quests, and enemies that refuse to stay dead, Elias is pushed to his limits as both a fighter and a leader.

Among the cities within the kingdom of Taldrisa, it was every 16-year-old's dream to wake up and see a notification that they had received a link to the System. Such a thing granted access to a Calling that would allow them to utilize the Mana in the world and create magic....

Getting dragged into an alien world was not high on Elias Critchley's to-do list. One moment, he's trying to avoid eye contact with people on the bus. The next, he's suspended mid-air in a bizarre tutorial and dumped—naked—into a dangerous, System-bound world where survival is far from guaranteed.

Leaving behind his old life in Taldrisa, Ashryn was somewhat apprehensive about the task he'd agreed to undertake. Soon, realizing he's way out of his depth about building a new settlement, Ashryn is glad he has his closest friends there to help him.

Although Ashryn is busy overseeing the building of the new settlement at Ilimel, it's not long before he gets called away once more.
