Melvin Morrow has become a barbarian warrior woman.He's a teenage boy not used to having breasts, or being ogled, or the real world consequences of wearing a steel bikini. Hell, his definition of real world has changed; the fantasy realm of his favorite game is a real place where primitive brutes want to enslave him and powerful mages import players to do their dirty work.Melvin survives the near-fatal reality shift only with the help of his companions, stuck in their own dual prisons of foreign body in a foreign world. Rich is an old mage. Melvin's big brother Mike is a megrym, which technically makes him the little brother sitting at four feet high and looking like a cross between a lizard and a bat without wings. Jason is tall, lithe and everything stereotypical of an archer--until he gets his arm chopped off.They discover skills buried within their characters, "triggers" they can trip if they're in the right emotional state. Rich can cast magic of insane magnitude when he's scared. Jason's a crack shot when calm. And Melvin can level a battlefield when he's angry. Unfortunately, he's oftentimes too afraid to be angry.Melvin better get it together if they hope to succeed at the quest the mages have given them: capture the shadow-skinned titan they inadvertently freed, a being with terrifying control over death itself. That's the only way the mages will send them home, something these robe wearers could do easily. After all, the mages are the ones who brought Melvin, his friends and every other gamer here via the Rift Pendulum to perform deeds only the suicidal would do.It looks like Melvin and his friends have one more suicidal quest to do... this time without any respawns.
