Normal people have nice, relaxing vacations. Rick and Helen got isekai'd to an outer-worldly swamp full of magic, undead, and no respect for physics. Their one quest is to return home to their kids. The first and only condition to completing the quest is killing the demon lord. What to expect:- A party of two Druid and Priestess, summoner and buffer.- Unique mechanics, at least I haven't seen them anywhere yet.- Highly tactical and strategic approach to combat.- Chapter dump on the first day, then one chapter per day for a month. Then reduced to three to five weekly chapters based on reader interest.- First book and several major plot arcs completed.- Married people banter.
