When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for three hundred years.

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.

While barbarians were getting ready to continue the invasion, adults argued and soldiers postured, Ludger with a system in his eyes realized something far more unsettling: if trouble kept coming time and time again, someone would have to meet it head-on. That decision dragged him far from home and straight into the tutelage of a shameless drunkard, an earth mage whose greatest talents were leveling mountains and emptying bottles. Unfortunately for Ludger, the man was also a former guildmaster.

Back when things were normal, Orrin the Timid tried saving his best friend, Daniel the Popular, from a runaway truck.

Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin.

It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you.

Daniel became a hero of legend, while Orrin remained his unobtrusive shadow. Only when they faced a particularly lethal foe did Orrin step out of his comfort zone and display his true worth—with powers he didn't know he had. Of course, Daniel got all the glory, but Orrin doesn't mind. He's just happy they're both still alive.
