Adventure Story: Start Here
Your guide to a hilarious, one-of-a-kind parody of the fantasy genre
Bigheart’s life as a lowly farm boy takes a predictable turn for the heroic when an ancient prophecy reveals him to be the Chosen One destined to overthrow the tyrannical Lord Gravedeath and restore peace to the realm. Alongside a cast of characters that includes a bloodthirsty talking sword, a wizard with no powers, and a dragon rider who doesn’t speak Dragon, Bigheart must journey to the outer reaches of the realm in an epic quest to find the mythic and aptly named Object of Great Power before Lord Gravedeath does.
