A little over four months has passed since Desmond McLaughlin was physically yanked from his home and thrown to the mercy of a conquering alien empire when they demanded he be handed over for training as he was an ‘Adept’, one of the few able to harness the power of magic in the universe. During that time, he has learned how to manipulate mana and made several friends amongst the aliens whose culture he was now immersed in. And one lover.

Join Desmond as he learns to manipulate mana—a source of power that exists beyond the reach of most people in the universe—meets vastly different alien species, risks life and limb, all while trying to pass classes. If he’s lucky, he will find someone he can trust out here amongst the weird. If he's very lucky, maybe someone he can love.

Despite his sound defeat, Apophis's plot is going to make it difficult for Jake's party to enjoy their hard-won freedom. Meanwhile, the true perils of the war with Tartarus loom on the horizon.

To liberate it, he will have to assume the mantle of leadership and empower the Beastkin, forming his Guild and uniting the tribes.

When a God of War barged into his apartment, Jake had no idea what to expect... but it wasn't being forced into a never-ending war against evil invaders, or that the battle would strangely resemble the MMORPG games he loved. Working hard and building himself up from almost nothing, Jake would need every bit of knowledge and preparation to master his new class of Summoner. Joined by a sly Demoness with an ancient past and a shy Valkyrie hoping to prove herself in battle, they'll find excitement and enjoyment as they level and grow in power.

Jake has united and empowered the beastkin into a formidable force, marching towards Life's Haven to reclaim their city and exact payback for countless lives lost. Yet danger lurks as enemy Champions, reptile betrayers, and a horrible curse tests their resolve. The war to reclaim the world stretches beyond a single battle, for it is an unrelenting war for survival. With the help of Jake's new beastkin mate and his bonded wives, they press on, rallying their people to face the enemy head-on.

After saving the world of Highlands from the eldritch horror and being crowned King, Jake had hoped for a chance to relax and enjoy fatherhood.

Jake and his wives have fought against the evil invaders to exhaustion, and the war is escalating to its conclusion. The beastkin have been empowered, and allies have been gathered.
