The party is attacked by a pack of super-sized, stinky... stoats?!
“Ignis! Impedimentum Ignis!” Nora roared, slashing her hand from left to right across the path of the malodorous mustelids, then up, back, and down, forming a perfectly square box of flames around them all with 10-foot high walls.
Impedimentum? I guess adding the fancy-sounding words and articulate gestures made all the difference!

I really should’ve taken the publisher’s employment contract more seriously…
Rachel and her best friend Nora never imagined their first job at a publishing company would catapult them into the heart of their favorite fantasy web novel. Five years after the story's abrupt hiatus left fans in limbo, they seized the chance to help the enigmatic author complete the tale that had captivated their hearts during their high school days. But what begins as an exciting creative endeavor quickly spirals into a quirky, unimaginable adventure when they're whisked away without consent into the very story they longed to save. Now, the two will get firsthand experience dealing with the destructive demon lord who betrayed and banished the heroine during the story's original cliffhanger.
But what if he isn't the card-carrying villain everyone else seems to think he is?
