Despite the humorous title this series is Dark and potentially very Disturbing you have been warned.

Part 1: Monsters

Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people!

No, we don’t want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we’re the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We’d be no better than the demons!

Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she’ll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn’t even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess’ blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn’t in any danger. Among other things.

Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

This is a dark LitRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps, with a few resistance skills under her nightie, she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did.

Part 2: Disease

Katie has successfully reached the third floor of the dungeon in which she accidentally stranded herself, but with enemies both ahead and behind her, she’s having to fight hard for every step she takes.

Still, at least she finally found an ally, even if that ally was her.

With her new class sapping her humanity with each advancement, it’s not even clear which of the pair of Katies is the biggest monster. However, with the undead king of the blight turning the catacombs against her, the vulpes arch-mage Mru’walyn hunting her from above, and a new threat encroaching on the catacombs from below, sacrificing more of her humanity may be the only way to win.

Join Katie on her continuing mission to find a snugger napping spot than a spider’s silk cocoon and to find the holy sword. She hasn’t forgotten about that bit (honest).

Part 3: Demons

Katie has reached the fifth floor of the dungeon and met with the ruler of the Abyss, where she learned that her previous actions have rendered her fetch quest uncompletable.

Rather than give in to despair, she’s decided on a new quest: to escape the dungeon she’s trapped in, and defeat the demon lord herself.

With her body already warped into something inhuman, gaining a third class that has some rather detrimental effects on the fabric of reality doesn’t help her stay grounded. It does, however, grant her even more power. Will there be anything in the real world capable of standing up to her?
