My Secret Life as a Monster Hunter - Why You Should Never Wake a Giant Moth

The fate of two worlds lies in my hands once again – seriously?!
Actually, the monster hunter exam in the magical parallel world of Anderlande is going quite well for me – after all, I haven’t been petrified by a gorgon glider yet. But some villain has opened all the portals to the human world, causing huge chaos in Otherlands. Of course, who do the gods suspect? Me, of course! Just because I’m supposedly the only one who still possesses the magic of the portal guardians. As punishment, I am to be locked up in the Dark Mouth. How kind of them to give me one tiny chance to escape the gloomy prison: if I manage to serve the gods the true culprit on a silver platter within three days, I will be pardoned. Had I known that the adventurous chase would lead me and my best friend Martin across underground magma streams to the monster arena beneath the Smacking Moor and into the Wavering Desert inhabited by snappy snappers, I might have reconsidered…
