Synopsis
Dungeon Crawler Carl meets Dragon Age in the bestselling LitRPG humorous fantasy adventure series AN UNEXPECTED HERO - in print and as a Light Novel for the very first time with AN UNEXPECTED HERO (Light Novel) Vol. 1 from Aethon & Vault! Come for the adventure. Stay for the laughs. Some men are born heroes. Others have heroism thrust upon them… Sorry... Really? Thrust? Anyway, Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his luck performer who always struggled to find his place. He certainly never wanted to be a hero. He just hoped to earn a living doing what he loved. That all changes when he pisses off the wrong guy and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair. Getting used to a new world is tough. It’s even tougher when you’re surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, super hot elf assassins, strange magic, and a System AI that seems as interested in causing trouble as helping... or maybe just wasn't interested in being assigned yet another companion in the first place. Danny must adapt fast, turn on the charm, and learn to embrace his given Class if he hopes to master it and survive this dangerous new place. But he has a knack for finding trouble. Gifted what seems like an innocent ancient lute after making a questionable deal with a Hag, Danny becomes the target of mysterious factions who seek to claim its power. It's up to him, Screenie, and his new barbaric friend, Curr, to uncover the truth and become the heroes nobody knew they needed. And maybe, just maybe, Danny will finally find a place where he belongs. Perhaps, even where he'll thrive. Jump into this fantasy isekai LitRPG Adventure Light Novel filled with unforgettable characters, loveable companions, unlikely heroes, slice-of-life elements, and plenty of laughs. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Off to be the Wizard, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves, and Kings of the Wyld!
