The Heroes: An Isekai Litrpg (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798895393994)

Rowan wasn't supposed to be a hero, but after becoming one by leading his people to victory against a demonic enemy . . . now he's really got problems.

Transported to a fantastical world in desperate need of heroes, Rowan and his friends were gifted great weapons to use against the demon hordes. Well, Rowan was actually handed a pointy stick and relegated to the useless soon-to-be-dead-meat class. But he showed them all by learning fast, playing his skills and combat cards right, and turning into a legit spear-wielding hero.

While that may sound epically cool, it's a bit more complicated. Sure, Rowan's been granted nobility as a marquis--and he's making it official by marrying his battle-ready beauty, Olivia--but he's only drawn further into the kingdom's shady politics and power plays. Not to mention his bestie, Blake, is still recovering from a traumatic possession that drained his heroic potential, and his other now-magical friend, Kayla, is turning into a devious, manipulative witch.

Dealing with all that while maintaining his own levels is going to take more smarts and savvy than even Rowan knows he has. But his true challenge is about to come from a totally unexpected direction. For everything he believes about his arrival and survival in this world might not be the truth at all. In fact, it may be an outright lie that could end his existence for good . . .
