Magic is dying, and he can save it. Derek Dunn, a lazy grocer and part-time college student, is now the Hero of Prophecy due to a scroll misfire. He would rather spend his days preparing for the upcoming fishing tourney than fulfill a prophecy, but it looks like he isn't going to be given much of a choice.
Expectations:
Urban & High Fantasy
LitRPG elements (Not a ton of number crunching)
Creative Application of seemingly weak abilties
Deep Characters beyond the MC
New Fantasy Races
