John Sutton spent a decade as his empire's most destructive battle mage. His reward is a small mountain farm and orders to retire for good, enforced by a broken System that counts Doom Points every time he reaches for his old power. So he grows wheat, tends mana-touched cattle, and tries hard not to save anyone, while a found family slowly builds around him.

Ben was a small-time New York con man who woke up dead — and very much alive in Vuldranni, a fantasy world that runs on RPG rules. Reborn as Clyde Hatchett, he leans into what he knows: theft, deception, and talking his way out of trouble. But the city of Glaton has bigger plans for a man who keeps accidentally doing the right thing.
