New Series: Shrubley, the Monster Adventurer! (Patreon)

Hey all, James here! We're back at it again with a fun new series featuring a lovable little magical shrub that some of you may remember seeing briefly toward the end of Beastborne Book 3 (hint: he was fighting some spooky skele bois).

This was initially intended to be a short story Sohmer and I wrote for fun, but we enjoyed it so much that it got out of hand and well, here we are!

We hope you enjoy it.

Shrubley wants to be the greatest S-Grade adventurer the world has ever known.

That's a tall order when you're a monster. And to make matters worse, Shrubley is the weakest type of monster imaginable. He's a walking, talking, shrub.

With infinite stores of optimism, Shrubley brazenly strolls into the nearest Adventurers Guild with an invitation card from the Druid that gave him life.

While the invite guarantees admittance, it will be an uphill battle to convince his fellow adventurers that he's not just another monster, but a hero-in-training. When he's not brawling with monsters threatening the local townsfolk, he'll be fighting for acceptance from the very people he's saving.

That's too much for a lone shrub, he'll need some help. With a band of fellow low-tier monsters, a tiny slime, a skeletal mage, and a koblin, Shrubley sets off to prove that monsters can be heroes too.

What to expect: Weak to monstrously strong, a diverse cast of monsters with unique monster-race powers, a deep Class and color-based magic system, silly puns, and of course a hefty dose of optimism. Because the world is dark enough right now and we all could use a little light in our lives.
