Draconia's Ascendance

The protagonist, Drakon, or Drake for short, has led a life that has no shortage of misfortune. He faces encroaching medical difficulties that makes it very hard to maintain work, and ends up living with family just to get by... He dives himself into reading gathering knowledge in order to distract himself from his current, unfortunate situation. One night however, his room is filled with an abrupt glow as something he thought he would never see appears in the center of his room. The object that makes a miraculous appearance is none other than a small circular formation filled with geometric shapes and complex, alien writing that could only be called one thing: a magic circle! What appears from this circle is an invitation to leave his home, and possibly his humanity, behind and enter into a new world filled with magic, mythological creatures like gryphons, spinxes, Cyclops, titans, and dragons, as well as medieval-styled kingdoms, politics and wars, and even adventurous spirit-tickling labyrinths that are filled with unknown treasures guarded by hordes of evil creatures and can often span over huge areas of land. Given the chance to adequately prepare before leaving the world of his birth, Drake, the realist he is, puts his gathered knowledge to work and begins compiling a book filled with anything and everything he could ever possibly need in this other world, even taking into account numerous different potential scenarios from becoming an adventurer to forging his own kingdom. Without knowing what to fully expect, he prepares for as many scenarios as he can. From his present life of misery, watch Drakon take his life by the reigns as he uses whatever he can to ascend!
