Lowly Clerk Wants To Be An S-Rank Hero [LitRPG/Progression/Comedy]

Most [Clerks] spend their time working through ledgers and expense reports. Austin's not that kind of [Clerk]. After meeting an untimely demise at the bumper end of a Mitsubishi Fuso, Austin Lake wakes up in the magical province of Altara with the very un-heroic [Clerk] class, 10 points in Perception, and precisely zero idea how this whole thing is meant to work.  His new party thinks he should stick to the books. He has other plans.  A chance encounter with a cursed goblin spellbook, combined with a frankly irresponsible approach to forbidden destruction magic, sets Austin off on a path no [Clerk] has dared tread before. Turns out if you ignore all conventional advice, abilities designed to help guilds lodge their tax returns can also be used to sling fireballs and melt monsters’ faces. Who knew?   A light hearted progression fantasy romp that sees a humble consultant continuously finding new ways to upset the local populace.
