Portrait of Jonathan Smidt

Author & Narrator

Jonathan Smidt

He has grown up in thousands of worlds, courtesy of not only literature and anime, but also his avid gaming life! Jonathan has spent countless hours on videogames ranging from Final Fantasy to Pokémon to Guild Wars and WoW, while also enjoying tabletops such as D&D and Exalted. Living in a game world isn’t enough for Jonathan though, and he has pushed to turn his own life into a classic RPG. On top of leveling up his writing and music abilities (he swears he is not a bard though!), he is currently learning the ancient art of blacksmithing, which places him at his forge, working hot metal into blades, on the weekends!

Like many teenagers, there's a lot about Daniel Meadows' life that's out of his control. For example, having to start in a new school district for his freshman year of high school thanks to his dad's new job. Inside the realm of his control, however, is the decision to try a brand-new sport purely to impress a girl. But the day of tennis tryouts proves far more fateful than Dan ever could have imagined, when a failed attempt by Truck-kun and the powers that be to kill him and transport his consciousness to a fantasy realm leaves him on Earth with miraculous abilities instead. Stuck on his boring home planet with magical powers to harness and learn, Dan finds himself in a unique situation. Will he use his powers for greatness? Will he abuse them? Or will he simply use them to become the greatest tennis player ever just to chase the girl of his dreams? Who knows? After all, it’s freshman year and he’s got a long way to go. This slice-of-life tennis LitRPG serves up progression, sports, and fun in one hilarious series.

A Short Story From the World Of Bone Dungeon The Path of Flames recounts how the young fire mage, Emily, first became a summoner and claimed her dragon. This was no simple task, nor something achieved by training or luck. To gain her summoned companion, Emily had to delve deep into the dungeon of the Lord of Flames. There, amongst rivers of lava and towers of flame, Emily had to convince a god that she was worthy of his attention.
