One minute I was scrubbing algae off a fish tank at Peculiar Pets. The next I awake on a fantasy world ruled by the System who applies skills, stats, and classes. No sword. No fireball. Just the Monster Merchant Class. I can capture, trade, and manage monsters. Which means venturing into wild and dangerous places where the prizes have claws, teeth, as well as the occasional desire to eat me.

Well, did you know that Kyushu is an F-ranked town? Neither did I, but had I known about this tidbit information, all of the unfortunate attacks would’ve made sense. I think. But the Lord Ruler truly is a douche canoe for leaving his people to fend for themselves. That’s not all. My shop’s ranking is E, embarrassing really, despite all of the hard work put into building it.

For Landon Sommers, the assignment seemed too simple. He just needed to hop on a private jet, fly to the Caribbean, and escort two children back to Montana. For Noel Lennox, a dedicated CPS social worker, this case was not typical but seemed easy. After all, there was no threat to the children she was tasked to monitor as they returned to Montana. When their straightforward mission takes a dangerous and unexpected turn, easy and boring are tossed out the window.

Former Navy SEAL Logan Bishop was bored. He spent his post-SEAL days flying tourists on helicopter rides over the mountains of Montana and occasionally rescued skiers from snowy slopes when an injury resulted in early retirement.

My place in this world slowly reveals itself to me. Unfortunately, I’m constantly reminded just how magicians truly screwed this place up. The Lord Ruler serves as one of the kingdom’s major problems, though there could be more to it. Tasks: rank up the shop and town, adapt to my ever-increasing strength, and hey, there are foes that are seriously strong out there. So many things happen in my growing tale this time around. Sit.

If someone were to learn the truth, they could undo my greatest work or worse.
