New Beginnings: An Isekai Litrpg (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798895393932)

Every epic foe sees a hero or two rise to save the day, protect the helpless, and vanquish evil; unfortunately, there are three heroes this time . . .

When Rowan and his friends are cast into a system-controlled world, they discover the kingdom of Rhys is under siege. The frontier is faltering under the recent attack of a demonic horde that corrupts all it overtakes. And what exactly is expected of this trio? They're heroes of course. Long-awaited, much-needed, very confused heroes.

Rowan and his crew are soon dealt their fates through system cards that decide every power, skill, and attribute in this world. But while his friends each receive a seriously cool sword made of light and otherworldly mage might, Rowan gets . . . a spear? A lousy spear. The weapon of every nobody-special, guaranteed-to-die-horribly NPC everywhere.

And when his friends are taken to face their grand destinies, Rowan ends up in the care of the once-great, now-disgraced Baron Kayden Sutton. The baron is to train him in preparation for the coming demon onslaught--an assault in which everyone expects Rowan to be obliterated.

But even with nothing but his sharp stick, guts, determination, brains, and big mouth, Rowan isn't about to give up. In fact, he's gonna give 'em hell . . .
