Summary:

Due to 'help' from a mischievous trickster, Eric is stranded in a world where monsters and magic are as common as homework and hotdogs. While he struggles to adjust he recieves an offer that will set the course of his life: a job in a mercenary guild. Between training and missions he's unaware of the forces at work in his life. All of them have a stake in his quest to acquire A Mage's Power.

Tasio the trickster god believes that Eric Watley needs a change of vocation. Specifically, a switch from the corporate sector to something more hands-on; mercenary. Now, instead of wielding a pen and pushing papers, he’s wielding a magic staff and fighting monsters. While he develops his power as a mage, he performs odd jobs such as a replacement security guard, caravan escort, and laundry washer. Those in The Trickster’s favor never have quiet lives and Eric is soon swept into a nationwide conspiracy far above his pay grade.
