Have you ever wondered what it would be like to become your favorite fantasy tabletop character? Would it end up being a dream come true or a horrific nightmare? What if you were forced to play the role of that character completely and couldn't act out of character even if you wanted to? That is exactly what happens to our protagonist, William Shawcro in the first installment of The Trials of a Modern Paladin.

William is an ordinary young man living an ordinary life when out of nowhere he finds himself in the body of his long-time character Archaeus in this isekai style fantasy story. Forced to play the role of Archaeus and act within his Paladin code, he must navigate this shocking new world of magic all the while questioning whether it's just a dream. He quickly realizes the life may not be all it's cracked up to be after facing frightening conflicts and becoming entangled in this new world's politics. While he is quite overpowered having made it to level 20, brute force can't resolve some situations. Archaeus makes new friends and new enemies during his travels, but will he ever find his way back home? All he can do is keep pushing forward and discover the truth of why he is here.
