Mukouda Tsuyoshi – alias, ‘Mukohda’ – was an ordinary Japanese salaryman until he was summoned to a fantasy world of swords and magic. Mukohda’s unique skill made him the only person in this world with access to modern Japanese products, but the real reason he caught the attention of the legendary magic beast, Fenrir, was his ability to cook delicious food! Now with a ludicrously overpowered Fenrir and a baby slime in tow, Mukohda and friends continue their laid-back journey in search of easy-living in a new kingdom. In spite of his best efforts, it seems Mukohda can’t help but get wrapped up in the adventurer lifestyle. Will this reluctant “hero” win fame, fortune, and fair maidens while he tries to fly under the radar? With food this good, he’s bound to make new friends whether he likes it or not — much to the dismay of his number 1 fan, Ninrir, the goddess with a sweet tooth. Unfortunately for her, she isn’t the only denizen of the divine realm to take notice of Mukohda’s access to otherworld goods and sweets, and the other goddesses might have demands of their own!

Segorian Anderson’s an Idiot. But that’s fine with him. It’s a well paying job with no heavy lifting. Nobody ever remembers Segorian. It isn’t magic—he just has the sort of face his own mother could forget, and she’s been trying to for years. But being forgettable is a job requirement for an Idiot. No, he's not the Court Jester. He doesn’t wear motley (whatever motley may be). That's a different union. He’s the Idiot. In a Queen’s castle, wine spilt down the wrong dress can lead to war, so someone unimportant has to be blamed for it. That’s the Idiot’s job. He’s the Idiot that did it, for any value of ‘it’. Of course, as soon as he’s exiled-for-life out of the castle gate, he uses his back-door key and sneaks back in. But that's not all. Someday, something really bad will happen. Really, really bad. Badder than a bad thing on a very bad day with extra badness. When the world’s about to end (or the washing up won’t get done—whichever comes first), who you gonna call? No, not them. They haven’t been invented yet. You call the Idiot, someone nobody will miss if things don’t work out. And now Peladon has a case of dragon. But the dragon may be the easy part. Segorian has woman trouble, and he’s the only person in the castle who doesn’t know it. Because to Segorian, women are an open book. The problem is, he never learned to read…

When we last left Mukohda and the gang, the town of Karelina was in danger of being attacked by a horde of wyverns, so naturally Fel volunteered them to solve this mess (for delicious meat, of course)! On the more peaceful side of events, one of the things Mukohda misses the most about his life in Japan is the bath culture. Will he ever get the chance to enjoy a proper bath in a tub again? And where will their journey take them to next?

And an uneasy balance light and dark begins to shift. Distraught by a grievous loss, the young mage Palin Majere seeks to enter the Abyss in search of his lost uncle, the infamous archmage Raistlin. Elsewhere, the Dark Queen has found new champions. Devoted followers, loyal to the death, the Knights of Takhisis follow the her vision to victory.
