He Who Fights with Monsters, Book 2: Adventurer (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781638493990)

"Exciting, hilarious, irreverent, and action-packed." --Matt Dinniman (New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl)

Jason Asano is just getting used to his new life as an interdimensional wizard when an terrifying old enemy comes after Jason and his friends in the second installment of the witty and magic-fueled He Who Fights With Monsters series--now with a bonus short story exclusive to this deluxe hardcover edition.

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.

Continue the adventure in the second volume of the multi-million-copy best-selling LitRPG epic where a snarky underdog takes on everything from corrupt aristocrats to literal gods in He Who Fights With Monsters, Book 2: Adventurer.

About the series: An isekai culture clash is unleashed 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.

For fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Cradle, Defiance of a Fall, The Primal Hunter, The Wandering Inn, The Dresden Files, Kaiju Preservation Society, and The Murderbot Diaries.
