Into the Abyss - A story from the world of HWFWM

Disclaimer: Into the Abyss is a fanfiction based on the popular, He Who Fights with Monsters series written by Shirtaloon - Or Travis Deverell, if you prefer his government name... At least, I think it's his government name. Anyway; although Into the Abyss is set in the same world - and the title shamelessly stolen from the same quote - this story is ultimately my own spin on what would happen if someone from our world was suddenly dropped into the world of Pallimustus with a unique cast of characters. You can still enjoy and understand Into the Abyss even if you have never read the original series.  Alexander Drake wakes up, disoriented and confused, in the heart of a snow-covered forest, a world with two moons, magic, and monsters. Exposed to the elements, he encounters aggressively angry rabbits, kidnappers, and mad scientists willing to do anything to further their research. When it feels like all hope is lost, Alex awakens some magic powers of his own. Hopefully, the extra voice he now hears in his head wont cause problems for him in the future.  Follow Alex as he navigates his way through a strange new world revolving around power, magic, and monsters with the help of his unexpected friend/mentor Matthias.  Together, along with Vi - the disembodied voice in his head thanks to his new powers - Alex embraces a life of adventure involving royalty, monsters, serial killers, and the occasional musical performance at the theater. The responsibility of fighting monsters and entertaining the local tavern patrons can take its toll on anyone. But who wouldn't struggle to hold on to their identity when even the gods also start showing a vested your future?
