Jake Munroe is not happy.

He was happily munching a croissant in his favorite bakery when these wizards rudely yanked him across the dimensions. Now he's being told that, for the next two years, he's the absolute ruler of a country of twenty-eight million people...oh, and he might want to do something about that invading army that is vastly more powerful than anything Flobovia can muster. (Also, 'Flobovia'? Really? Why would you name your country 'Flobovia'?)

Of course, that's not the most ridiculous part. No, the most ridiculous part is that this world runs on the rules of the Heroes and Hellhounds roleplaying game. And, just for grins, it runs on Rules As Written, so reality is highly underspecified and common sense is straight out the window.

Jake will need to use every exploit he's ever read about on random websites in order to survive in a world where the Archpriest hates him, the enemy general is smarter than him, and his own bodyguards will kill him if he does the wrong thing.

'Not happy' doesn't begin to cover it!

[Note: This is a complete novel; it has also been released in segments for readers who prefer a less expensive introduction. Look for 'The Two Year Emperor: Part 1' to read the first 8 chapters for a lower price. There is a Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 if you prefer to continue reading by segments.]

I've been writing since I was 13 years old and have recently decided to take the plunge and start publishing.

I write science fiction, fantasy, psychological horror (think Alfred Hitchcock, not Wes Craven), and I'm starting into the superhero-in-the-real-world genre. No matter what genre I'm writing, I focus on "absence of stupid" -- none of my characters ever forget their abilities, if they see a problem for the second time then the first thing they try is the thing that worked the first time, and they Never. Ever. Say "let's split up to look for the monster!"

(Incidentally, that whole thing about writing since I was 13? Not too long ago I was rooting around in my parents' attic and I found some of my work from back then. Oh god, the horrible awfulness; the only solution was to burn it, immediately. I'd like to think I've improved since then -- why don't you read some of my stuff and let me know?)

I also publish on RoyalRoad and SufficientVelocity under the username eaglejarl.

Its really been gutted for commercial release, unsatisfying to read on so many levels. Save your money.

A different kind of fantasy novel.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 16, 2016

"The Two Year Emperor" is a fantasy novel which shows the practical result of basing a world on the myriad rules and broken combinations of Dungeons and Dragons.

The main character, in the standard fantasy style, is an outsider - a normal human from our world who is pulled into this incoherent mess and required to massively powergame in order to survive.

The novel follows the protagonist through his time leading the wonderfully named fantasy nation of 'Flobovia', as it defends itself against a massively superior opposing force, only for even deadlier foes to be revealed as the plot advances.

The interesting and funny part is how the character's thought processes clash with those of the natives - for whom 'Stupidworld' physics (and I use the term loosely) are the norm, and who have internalized the weird way things work. The main character quickly finds the loopholes inherent in the system, and his rants on how nothing makes sense are quite funny. The characters who we are informed are intelligent actually act intelligent, and take actions which make internal sense to them. The author is very good at capturing people who have vastly different goal systems, some of whom are good at following them and some who aren't. The worldbuilding is very good as well - despite the nonsensical nature of reality, it seems internally consistent on how things work, and there are reason why everything hasn't fallen apart yet.

It may seem like a cliche beginning, but this novel is anything but. Recommended.

10/10 - would powergame again.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2016

A most enjoyable story. David Storrs's experience as a veteran gamer shows in his understanding of the flaws and foibles of RPG rules, but his skills as an author also result in great characters, thorough worldbuilding, an exciting narrative with plenty of unexpected twists, and above all a constant spirit of creativity that infuses every element of the work.

A hilarious and wonderful romp that succeeds in providing real challenges for a protagonist inclined to munchkinry. I read the whole thing in one night.
