The path from retail middle management to interdimensional wizard adventurer wasn’t easy, but Jason Asano is settling into his new life. Now, a contest draws young elites to the city of Greenstone, competing for a grand prize. Jason must gather a band of companions if he is to stand a chance against the best the world has to offer.While the young adventurers are caught up in competition, the city leaders deal with revelations of betrayal as a vast and terrible enemy is revealed. Although Jason seems uninvolved, he has unknowingly crossed the enemy’s path before. Friends and foes made along the way will lead him to cross it again as inevitable conflict looms.
This felt a bit more grindy, so hopefully things will pick up some in future works. Obviously in progression fantasy this has to happen and the writing was fine and plot moved along, but some of the initial wow factor of the world was missing of course, lending it a feel of just moving on rather than expanding,if that makes sense.
