In the fifth book of this fantasy adventure, the journey's not over just because a big boss battle is won.
Renowned as total ass-kickers in their new, game-inspired world, best friends Orrin and Daniel have done the impossible. They've gathered a loyal fellowship, earned a slew of skills and high-level powers, united the realms to finally take down the dreaded Demon Lord, and grown and developed as individuals. Their quest is complete, and now the pair can finally concentrate on their primary goal: getting back home. Or so they think.
Unfortunately, winning a war doesn't mean instant peace. The various kingdoms of the realm are still playing politics, maneuvering for position and power, and Orrin and his friends are caught up in the chaos. Even worse is the surprising destruction of dungeons across the land, which presents a new obstacle . . .
Orrin and Daniel need some serious power to get home, the kind usually found in dungeons. But someone has been clearing the hidden places of power ahead of them for reasons unknown. And unless Orrin and Daniel can beat the baddie to the punch—or rather, the stab, slash, and hack—they aren't going anywhere.
The fifth volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series―with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road―now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
Tropes include: zero to hero, role reversal, unlikely hero, frenemies, and secret enemy.

“A colorful, sweeping LitRPG about two best friends in a new world. One of my all-time favorites.” —Matt Dinniman, New York Times–bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
“One of the truest depictions of what it means to be best friends I’ve ever read.” —Erin Ampersand, author of Apocalypse Parenting
“Explores a duo of protagonists, creating a rather unique experience for the genre . . . [Their] dynamic is what makes I'm Not the Hero stand out . . . The fish-out-of-water trope that dominates LitRPG is still on full display here, but there’s a history with these two characters that provides an extra pull for audiences. Their relationship stretches far beyond their current circumstances, making all of their decisions feel even heavier and more important.” — Collide
