Alex is just a regular guy trying to get by. Once a promising student with big plans, his college career came to an abrupt end when he stood up for a classmate and got expelled. Now he's trapped in a cycle of minimum wage kitchen jobs, overbearing bosses, and late-night shifts that leave him exhausted and broke. It's not exactly the life he'd imagined for himself. Then comes the storm. Driving home after another miserable shift, Alex gets caught in a downpour like nothing he's ever seen. Lightning cracks, the world spins, and when he opens his eyes, the road is gone. So is his shitty old Pathfinder. So is Earth. Instead, Alex finds himself stranded in Reial, a world where magic is real, monsters roam the wilderness, and the people speak a language he can't understand. It's the kind of place where adventurers become legends... if they survive long enough. But Alex has something that years of grinding through thankless jobs have taught him: persistence. He knows how to hustle, how to adapt when things go sideways, and how to keep his sense of humor when everything falls apart. With no way home in sight, he decides to make the most of his new life, finding new friends and love along the way.
