In the small village of Berring, Calder runs the Broken Mug tavern. He was a gifted swordsman and would have been a war hero if only his side had won. His injured leg tells him his days of fighting are over. When a dark portal opens in his village’s main square and orcs stream through it, slaughtering his neighbors and setting everything on fire, it brings with it a second chance. A soldier of light appears and grants Calder a weapon stone so he can help fight against the forces of darkness. His leg is healed. His body pulses with superhuman strength. And he’ll do anything to protect his people. _Hack, Slash & Burn _is a medieval LitRPG fantasy series with portals to other worlds, different classes, stats, levels, and spells.
