After years of service in the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Jol Rivers has found a tentative home in Littlereach, where he makes a living as a blacksmith. One day, however, a beautiful mage arrives and tells him that he has a mysterious magical power hidden within the items he forges, one that could defeat the malignant forces threatening the Second Empire. She invites him to the Lyceum, an institute for mages where he can develop this power.

For six glorious months, being king was like my wildest dreams come true. My subjects adored me, my wives cherished me, and Silvy, bearing my heir, filled our realm with hope and joy. With our economy thriving and our population swelling, we decided to build a second goblin city. But nothing great lasts forever. Rumors reach my ears of attacks in the forests and sightings of huge monsters.

A lot can happen in a week. Me? I became a king. An unfortunate accident destroyed my entire world, but the gods saw fit to zap me to a new one, a world filled with fantastical creatures and magic. To say I got a rough start there would be putting it mildly, but fortunately I had the help of Silvy, a beautiful goblin woman who told me I was the answer to her prayers. And she meant that literally. It didn't take long for me to learn that the goblin king was an absolute terror, the most violent and tyrannical in their history.
