With enemies at the gates and trouble at home, a man must defend his clan armed only with his magical martial arts and a futuristic spaceship fortress.
His enemies won’t know what hit them.
After finally defeating the Matriarch of the Crimson Dragon clan, Theo’s left with a disunited group of tribes swearing loyalty to him in name only. And why should they? He’s got no towering fortress. No chests of gold. No loyal army.
Yet.
With nothing but his wits, his new (extremely attractive) friends, and his AI companion, Theo has to bring the Hearthwood forest together to face a looming threat. But the Hearthwood forest is old and filled with secrets. And very few of them are friendly.
Contains: Gamelit, cultivation, and unconventional relationships.
From the Publisher
I am Theo, and I never could have imagined the journey I was about to embark on when I accepted the keys to The Wanderer. I was transported to the Ten Thousand Worlds, a realm filled with endless dangers and adventures.
In this strange new world, I am faced with powerful monsters and armies of elven cultivators who seek to harness the power my human body holds. But I will not be a captive or pawn. I refuse to play by their rules. Instead, I set out to create my own clan of powerful elves and gather a cast of companions to stand by my side.
With my wit, cunning, magic RPG-System powered spaceship, and newfound cultivation magic, I take on the odds stacked against me and rise to become a force to be reckoned with. I will not be underestimated. My name will be known throughout the Ten Thousand Worlds and my family will grow strong enough to rule the stars above us.
Join me on this epic journey of action, fighting, and romance. Together, we will conquer the Ten Thousand Worlds and uncover the truth behind my arrival in this strange new world. It’s going to be a wild ride, but I’m up for the challenge. Are you?
Meet my companions!

Steady progression from book 1, loving the story
I enjoyed the first book a lot, and immediately bought and read through the remaining books (a total of 4 as of this time). I like them all, and am doing a quick summary review of 2-4, which I’ll duplicate for books 2-4. (I reviewed book 1 separately.)Still a few typos, but not very many in the second book. (The only annoying/repeating error is the constant mis-use of the possessive (‘s): some places have (‘s) that shouldn’t, and many places are missing the (‘s), or use (‘s) when it should be (s’). Not sure why this was such a common issue. But I refuse to take a star away for this, because I loved the story, and my nit-picking doesn’t change that.Super-quick summary of the series: MC and 2 friends get transported to new world. In book 1 we immediately find out that the MC was sidelined for 400 years or so, while the 2 friends went out and lived their lives. The MC finds himself in a world of (mostly) elves, but the world is in a solar-system(?) that contains many thousands of worlds nearby, on which live orcs, dwarves, beastkin (including cat-girls OBVIOUSLY), and other races. All worlds have magic of one sort or another, and all worlds we know about so far also have cultivation of one sort or another. The world of the MC has magic… which depends on spirit cultivation, so something of a hybrid.We also find out that the MC’s 2 friends lived their lives and become very powerful, changing the face of the world, yada yada… and MIGHT still be alive. (Spoiler: by book 4 we’re still not sure they’re alive, but we’re shown many of the things they’ve left behind, including offspring spanning generations, entire empires, and more.) The old friends also leave a few gifts to the MC, as well as hinting at some Very Bad Things that might have to be dealt with if/when the MC ever wakes up. (Which of course he did, as part of book 1.)I find the world-building pretty interesting, and the story is a very fun read. The possibility that the MC could travel to other worlds in this solar system — literally thousands to choose from, all inhabited — allows for the story to go for a long time. (Maybe too long, but that’s not an issue for a LOT more books, at least.)One minor nit that I found odd: the book has trials and tribulations, but also plenty of love and humor between the MC and his wives (and later his fatherly interaction with his kids). Which I liked. The occasional slice-of-life stuff makes me connect with the characters. But there were a few places where a sudden joke was made that seemed out of place: like in the middle of a battle, or during a particularly serious meeting. It wasn’t a “break the tension” type of joke either, more of a “this would be a good joke, but I stuck it in the wrong chapter” sort of joke. This happened a handful of times, and definitely broke the tone of the scene for me. But maybe that’s just me. And again, it was very seldom, and spread across multiple books, so it doesn’t merit yanking down the rating.The book was awesome, and I bought and read the next one. 🙂

Interesting series.
I like this series. I think it’s pretty entertaining. The author is a little wordy though. I find myself occasionally skipping some paragraphs due to unnecessary descriptions, but all in all it’s not too bad. I like the world and the characters. I want to see more of the other races!
Dakota Smith –
excited for the rest of the series
Great read and great characters. Personalities of characters are well written and everyone doesnât feel the same like in some harem books. Loving the build up and looking forward to what Theo will do in the future

Surprising
So, I had expected a drop off from the first book, but was pleasantly surprised to find that this series seems to be getting better as it goes along, also appreciated the book was not short! I ended up getting really hooked, pacing was perfect, character growth was great, slowly learning more about the inner circle and best of all, everyone is finally on the same page, plus MACâs humor is priceless.

Very good story
Well done, pace is good , decent growth rate. The story is fantastic . I can’t wait to see how this processes. Hope there is at least 20 books in this series. Why did you make crazy guy Tim .It fits though because every Tim I ever knew was definitely a few straws short of the glass
Kindle Customer –
Fun.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was fun and entertaining. The story and characters were interesting and engaging. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next. This was definitely worth reading.
Ross Stocks –
Great book
This was one the best books I have read recently. Strong chemistry between characters and a smooth flowing story line. The sexy parts were appropriate and not over done. I can’t wait for book three to come out so I can see how far The pushes his powers and those of his followers to even higher levels. This is a book I would recommend you buy as you will not be disappointed.

This book has it all!
I couldn’t put this one down staying up past 3am just to finish it off. A perfect blend of character/story development, a link to the past and connection to the broader world. This is by far one of my favorite series and I can’t believe he is a new author! Quit your day job and write full time you’ve got tallent… Because I want the next book faster!

A very fun reading and well crafted. The cultivation system is nothing earth-shattering compared to some of the pillars of cultivation genre but they’re solid enough to provide a sense of progression and an interesting background to what is a very fun harem novel with the right amount of faction building. It would be 4/5 maybe if the amazon review system for books worked properly, but 5 is necessary for the review to be actively seen as positive by Amazon
Dennis –
A good harem story done right. The MC isnât overpowered or a reluctant wuss, and the core women actually have character. Eagerly waiting for the next book.
T.N. –
The best mix of wuxia and xinxia with western fantasy. Throw a little bit naughty actions and you got the perfect story
MRS D P NEWELL –
Not your usual read. Am very looking forward to the next installment. F you like cultivating stories you wouldnât go wrong with this one.
Greg Hall –
A worthy sequel in the series, I look forward to book 3. MC is not OP but is doing well.
