Description: A young man and his axe, along with a magical life he never asked for…
Larek Holsten is different from most people, living in the Kingdom of Androthe where his 7-foot-tall frame is looked at with suspicion and anger from its shorter residents; but as long as it helps him become the best Logger he can be, he doesn’t let it bother him all that much. He and his best friend, an axe with a powerful Fusion that causes it to become sharper and stronger than a normal tool, are feared by the trees in the magical forest north of his home, as he can fell the quickly growing monoliths faster than anyone else in the community.
Unfortunately, after visiting the local village, a deliberate misunderstanding lands Larek in trouble; as a result, he is taken away from his family and the only home he has ever known. Along the way, his dormant magical potential is discovered by those more knowledgeable than him, and he is ordered to attend some sort of academy for Mages.
The problem? Contrary to many who might jump at the chance of wielding powerful magic to fight the monsters that threaten the towns and cities around the Kingdom, Larek has absolutely no desire to become a Mage, especially when he has no choice in the matter. All he wants is to be allowed to return home to his family and to chop down the trees in the Rushwood Forest.
But once he discovers a unique talent that stems from his newly unlocked latent power, he might just have to stick around to see what he can do…

Description: As Larek uncovers the secrets of his past, he soon discovers that such secrets were probably best kept hidden…
After being kicked out of Crystalview Academy by Dean Wilburt, Larek and his new friends are forced to journey south where he is to continue his studies in yet another Academy named Copperleaf. Along the way, the Logger-turned-Fusionist expands his knowledge of the world and its people – and the world slowly learns about Larek in return.
Arriving at Copperleaf, the fledgling Fusionist soon learns that his new Academy is just as dangerous as Crystalview, but for altogether different reasons. Despite the danger, Larek also has the opportunity to expand his skill in creating Fusions in ways he had never dreamed of before – and there is no Dean ready to punish him for exercising that skill, either.
Unfortunately, dangerous information about who he is and his place in the world will be revealed to him, further muddying the waters of his academic experience. The shock and confusion this dangerous information produces will challenge Larek to new heights as he works to keep his secrets from those who would use them against him.

Description: Knowledge of Larek’s gifts have spread farther than just Copperleaf Academy…Exposed as a “Fusion prodigy” to the Mages of Copperleaf Academy and the Martials of Fort Pinevalley, Larek struggles with the attention and expectations this label brings. Not only does he need protection against those who may wish him harm, but he also has to contend with the needs of his Professors and the Dean of Copperleaf Academy, who wish to use his abilities to help teach others about his discoveries and to outfit the local Scission Interception Corps with his powerful creations. It's not because of selfish reasons that they desire the SIC to be better equipped, though, but one of necessity. Changes in Scission and monster behavior throughout the Kingdom has thrown all of their previous defensive strategies into turmoil, and more and more member of the SIC have to venture out from behind the safety of the city’s walls to hunt down and kill the threatening monsters roaming across the landscape. If that wasn’t bad enough, word of Larek’s abilities – and potential origin – have begun to spread, leading to rumors that, if they were to reach the wrong ears, could result in devastation. The powerful Fusionist must now juggle the expectations of his Professors with keeping his presence at the Academy a secret, or else his entire world might come crashing down.

Description: Transported to another portion of the world, Larek must find a way to get home….
After the disastrous events in the Kingdom of Androthe, the powerful Fusionist has arrived in another part of the world. Not only is he alone and unsure of where exactly he is, but now he has to navigate the strange Sealance Empire, paying off his debt toward its people that he incurred just after arriving. However, if he can journey across its expanse, he can finally return to the Kingdom where his family and friends he left behind are located.
But getting back home is easier said than done. Not only is it an incredibly long distance away, requiring months of travel, but the appearance of Apertures that occurred in the Kingdom just before his departure has apparently spread throughout the entire world, no longer being contained to his homeland. As the people of the Sealance Empire struggle to combat this new threat, Larek will face his own difficult challenges in his efforts to journey home.
Will his ability to create powerful Fusions be enough to see him through? Or will the fact that he has been gone a lot longer from the Kingdom than he expected be his downfall?

Description: The Kingdom has changed more in his absence than he thought possible…
After traveling across the entirety of the Sealance Empire and the deserts of Lowenthal, Larek has returned home to the Kingdom of Androthe to find that the situation is quite different from what he remembered. Not only are there massive Apertures called Calamities consuming large portions of the landscape, but most of his friends are also scattered to locations unknown around the Kingdom. Worse yet, they have no idea who he is because of the Dominion magic used on them before he was transported to the Empire.
Despite those setbacks, Larek is determined to reunite with both his friends and his family. Problems arise almost immediately upon entering the Kingdom, however, as he is presented with a delay of his reunion with them all. As a result, he is forced to adapt to the sheer devastation he finds himself surrounded with.
Through it all, there is one truth that is becoming more and more evident as time goes on. As powerful of a Fusionist he may be, Larek also struggles with fighting and anything more than basic combat tactics, as his skills in that department are sorely lacking. It’s time to learn how to fight instead of just flailing around, swinging his axe and hoping that his higher stats will carry the day.
In other words, the Fusionist needs to undergo a much-needed Martial TransFusion.

Description: The elimination of a Calamity isn’t as beneficial as one might think...
After the frightening experience involved in closing the northwestern Calamity and rescuing his friend, Larek and his companions discover that not everyone is happy about what they accomplished. Forces behind the scenes have made life difficult for the “conquering heroes”, so much so that they are forced to quickly flee the area while they continue their search for Norde.
Unfortunately, once they arrive near the southeastern Calamity where Nedira’s younger brother is supposed to be, they encounter a situation that could lead to the downfall of the region, the Kingdom, and perhaps even the entire world. Larek’s unique skills are able to solve some the more immediate problems, though this is only a temporary fix. A more widespread solution is needed to save as many people as possible; a solution which the Factions and the SIC have failed to provide, but Larek believes might be achievable with the help of his Fusions.
At the same time, the powerful Fusionist also discovers something about Corrupted Aetheric Force that could be the key to success. In other words, the gradual suffusion of Corruption throughout the world might not be the disaster he once thought, but instead a boon upon which could lead to the survival of everyone...

Description: Larek is now ready to face those who stole his family away…
All Larek wanted in his life after learning that he could make Fusions was to practice and improve upon his new ability, and to create the best and the most creative formations that the world had ever seen. He had largely accomplished that, but there always seemed to be more to learn about the art of Fusion creation; while resting up after his newest battle successes, he stumbles upon something that would change the way he thought about Fusions forever. That new knowledge would be needed, as it is time to start looking toward the final confrontation with the Gergasi and their Enclave. Ridding the Kingdom of their presence wouldn’t just be beneficial for the people living in it, but would also give Larek the chance to free his family from their clutches.
