About the series: Experience an isekai culture clash 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.

It's not an easy career jump, going from retail assistant manager to interdimensional adventurer. Jason doesn't have much of a choice, though, when he wakes up naked and confused in a world of mystery and magic. It wasn't prophecy that brought him here. He wasn't chosen. It was the wrong place, the wrong time and the very, very wrong guy.

The wizard who summoned him by accident does not react well. In short order, Jason will have to fight monsters, face cultists, escape cannibals and find some pants, preferably not in that order. The good news? He has powers. The bad news? They're kind of evil.

With no idea where he is or what he's doing, he's going to need friends, and fast, because in this world power isn't just about magic and monsters. Jason will have to deal with politicians, noble houses and crime lords to survive. He'll need to master his powers, evil or not, hopefully without becoming the worst monster of all.
