This book has been published on Amazon Kindle (under the title Windswept) so I have to take down all but 10% of the content posted here.You can find the rest of the story at: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0C14V7JW4Patrick was once your average, ordinary, 21st century American. That is to say he was overweight, under-appreciated, and utterly miserable. He was on track to stay that way for the rest of his life too, but nothing can knock you out of a rut quite like an abrupt landing in an entirely different dimension. A dimension of gods, monsters, and familiar video-game mechanics that promise a life of grand adventure. It’s just too bad that he never got that promise in writing…   Will Patrick be able to survive with nothing but a can-do attitude and the clothes on his back? Will he thrive? Or will he just become one more pawn on someone else’s board, pushed around by the uncaring winds of fate?
