Mark just wanted to smoke his pipe in peace.
Instead he got transported into a world of wandering wizards, monster-filled rifts, and ancient magic.
Luckily he gets taken in by a group of eccentric mages who spend all day smoking pipes, drinking ale, foraging for magical mushrooms, practicing kung fu in the woods, and quietly pondering glowing orbs.
While other mages grow stronger by hunting monsters and looting their mana, the Blue Wizards prefer to sit, meditate, and cultivate their own. They call it ‘pondering.’
Everyone else calls it a joke.
But for Mark, it changes everything.
His pondering awakens a forgotten affinity that hasn’t been seen for ages. His spells come alive as magical companions that cultivate mana even while he sleeps. Every lazy afternoon by the campfire makes him stronger. Every peaceful day spent smoking his pipe pushes him further beyond what the world’s greatest wizards believe is possible.
Which is a problem, because Mark just wants to enjoy his quiet new life with his eccentric band of newfound friends. But with necromancers on the rise, monstrous rifts spreading across the realm, and kingdoms preparing for war, someone is bound to notice that the newest Blue Wizard is becoming far more powerful than anyone expected.
It turns out slowing down, smoking pipeweed, and contemplating the universe is a lot more dangerous than it looks.
Perfect for fans of cozy LitRPG adventures, hidden overpowered abilities, hilarious party dynamics, and whimsical slice of life moments.
