Decades ago, the world was changed by the arrival of the system. One day, monsters spawned across the world, gateways to dungeons appeared everywhere, and the blue screens heralded the end of days. The apocalypse. The ruin of the world. Amongst the ruins of the world, they survive: the players, those granted power by the system and led by the 2nd regressor, the King of the Crows. He who mastered the system, learned the truth of the apocalypse, and seized the keys of absolute authority. But even a King cannot stop the fall of mankind.

He'll face other dangers, like people, and unlike the profit, other people aren’t always motivated by coin. But neither is Greg, and they'll learn that the hard way.

Jason has done a good job of settling into his new life. But nothing stays the same forever. Not even in Summer Shandy. His fourth year on the farm comes with a new challenge. Married life.

The chance of a lifetime started with a gift. An inheritance of the Old Farmstead outside of the town of Summer Shandy. It’s overgrown, overrun, and filled with field monsters and in a bad need of a tilling. But it’s something, it’s a start, and for Jason Hunter, that’s all he needs. And all his uncle wanted for him. But farm life doesn’t come easy. With a mountain of chores that range from monster extermination to watering crops, Jason will need to learn to manage his stamina, build up his endurance, and maintain a social life if he’s going to live in the country.

In this box set, you'll journey with Jason through three unforgettable years on the farm. Witness his growth from a novice farmer to a master of his craft as he battles weeds, weevils, and the weather, all while lending a hand to adventurers in need.

Are you a discerning delver? Dungeon diver? Adventurer? Need items? I've got 'em. I've plenty of enchanted weapons, blessed and not so blessed armors, powerful scrolls, arcane treasures, and other amazing baubles and trinkets just waiting to be discovered by you, yes you. But act fast!

Things have changed in Summer Shandy, but the more things change, the more they stay the same. For Jason Hunter it’s no different. His third year on the farm starts like any other. With an alarm and his starting actions. But this year, he’ll need to focus not just on the farm, but on his relationship.

A year has passed in the town of Summer Shandy. The farmstead outside of town isn't quite as run-down as it used to be. The fields still need to be tended, the monsters still need to be handled, and the soil will always need a tilling. That's life. And for Jason Hunter, it's a good one. At least it would be if it wasn't for those out-of-towners.

For Grey, life was in a good place. He'd just finished his service and had settled into a job he loved. But the difference between a good place, and a great place lays in the adventure. And Grey? Grey has so much more adventure in front of him. An adventure that starts with a chance encounter with a young woman named Billie at Mrs. Butterson's Buttery Bakery and Bistro, where he worked, and they quickly bond over warm treats and cinnamon rolls. Billie has a secret, and it's more than just a love of sugary things.

Jax Nolan bears the Mark of the Regressor and wields Regressors' Key. His mission, his duty: to change an already changed future. But something has gone wrong. Questions and missing comrades have brought him to the Dungeon of the Deepest Realm. Familiar paths tread towards uncertain destinations as Jax searches for the hidden path into the Underrealm and readies himself for the ascension promised by the great spirit, Amarath. He'll need it if he's to free his friends and take back the power that was promised.

Welcome back, my adventurous friends. I’m Shady Greg, and I’ve got a plan. Jadera—the land that stole me from Earth and assigned me to be a Merchant—is opening a new area soon, and I’m going to be the first to plunder its riches! Ahem, I mean, set up shops that help adventurers like you. At reasonable prices, even! It's ripe for the taking! I've never seen an opportunity this good. With the dastardly villain of my last adventure out of the picture, there’s really nothing between me and a monopoly of the new Misty Isles! Nothing could possibly go wrong!

Jax Nolan is the Third Regressor; a servant of the King of Crows. A friend. A comrade. The one who survived the last battle. He’ll need to become something else to change the ending of the story. Something more than just a sword, more than a soldier. He must become a support without equal. He's not alone. He has allies. But he must go to a place where his allies cannot follow.

This is the story of how I, the one and only Shady Greg, saved the world of Jadera. What, you thought it was over after my Misty Isle adventures? To tell you the truth, so did I. After everything, I really thought I could run Greg’s Dungeon Emporium and rest on my laurels.
