Magic she can use to fight even bigger monsters. With no quest to follow, no guide to show her the way, and no real desire to be a Hero-Ilea embarks on a journey to discover a world full of magic. Well, maybe not her wildest dreams, but it’s close. On the bright side, "killing those monsters right back" is now a viable career path! For she soon discovers her new home runs on a set of game-like rules that will allow her to punch things harder than in her wildest dreams. So maybe it's lucky that she wakes up one day in a strange world where a bunch of fantasy monsters are trying to kill her? Instead, the plan is to quit her crappy fast-food job, go to college, and become a fully functioning member of society. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many career options for hungry brawlers.
