Dragon meat. It's for dinner. In the town of Bolopsy lives a humble butcher, Nogdo, who's quietly making a fortune selling dragon meat. But when the town's children start growing black dragon scales, Nogdo is horrified. The source of his new fortune is cursed. He wipes dragon meat off the menu and hopes the problem goes away on its own. It doesn't. Now that his youngest son is growing black scales, Nogdo will stop at nothing to find the cure. During his quest, he will have to deal with vengeful dragons, a recluse wizard, and a band of barbaric hunters if he is ever to return home-and being alive at the end could just be asking too much

This beautifully illustrated cookbook and travelogue features 100 authentic recipes gathered from Shanghai to Xinjiang and beyond. Mandarin-speaking American siblings Mary Kate and Nate Tate traveled more than 9,700 miles through China, collecting stories, photographs, and lots of recipes. In Feeding the Dragon, they share what they saw, learned, and ate along the way. Highlighting nine unique regions, this volume features Buddhist vegetarian dishes enjoyed on the snowcapped mountains of Tibet, lamb kebabs served on the scorching desert of Xinjiang Province, and much more presented alongside personal stories and photographs. Recipes include Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Pineapple Rice, Coca-Cola Chicken Wings, Green Tea Shortbread Cookies, and Lychee Martinis. Feeding the Dragon also provides handy reference sidebars to guide cooks with time-saving shortcuts such as buying premade dumpling wrappers or using a blow-dryer to finish your Peking Duck. A comprehensive glossary of Chinese ingredients and their equivalent substitutions complete the book.

With another dungeon behind them, Mukohda and party (and Elrand for some reason) take a well deserved rest to collect themselves before hitting the road again. And now, with many more levels, Mukohda has earned another new Tenant. But Mukohda doesn’t have time to sit back and enjoy it, nor to nurse his freshly wounded heart - they’re on the clock to ditch Elrand back in Dolan! Meanwhile, in the divine realm, the gods who have been mooching off Mukohda all this time may have met their match! And will Mukohda finally find something worthwhile to spend all of his money on...?

Another day, another dungeon! Or rather, another day, the same dungeon, because even though Mukohda would much rather make the most of his mid-dungeon break by lingering on the surface and enjoying a breath or two of outside air, a certain trio of battle-happy gluttons have dragged him right back into the depths again! Fel, Sui, and Dora won’t be satisfied until they conquer every last floor that the Brixt dungeon has to offer, and the most Mukohda can do is grit his teeth and tag along for the ride. But hey, it’s not that bad—after all, if the first forty floors were simple enough for Team Familiar to steamroll through, then surely the next who-knows-how-many won’t pose any dangers or inconveniences either, right? And it’s not like there are any horrible primeval monsters lurking somewhere down there that everyone—except for Mukohda—has forgotten the gods specifically warned them about, right?!

Follow the adventures of Herb and Meathook when the knights of Castle Dark decide that the time has come to rid their land of man-eating dragons!

*Even though I don’t want to go to the dungeon!* Caught up in a “Hero Summoning,” the hapless Mukohda was brought to another world from modern Japan, but he decided to make the most of it and enjoy a leisurely life of travel with his familiars, Fel and Sui. With new goddesses forcing blessings on him in exchange for offerings, and another familiar in the form of a peckish pixie dragon, Mukohda steadily amasses wealth and power. Finally, the cowardly hero (with a little “help” from his friends) has reached the city of Dolan, where he will challenge the city’s dungeon, whether he wants to or not! But the challenges start before he sets foot inside the dungeon, such as getting accosted by a disappointment of a guildmaster, extorted for booze by some rather intense male gods, and splurging on an actual kitchen stove. For Mukohda, diligent preparation for dungeon diving begins with preparing enough meals to satisfy his voracious companions. Thus armed to battle his familiar’s hunger, Mukohda’s party sets its sights on glorious battle in the dungeon. With ridiculous skills and overpowered magic beasts on his side, does the dungeon even stand a chance......?!

"Ah! Where am I?" How did I, the No Memory, get everything? "Lin Jun looked at his surroundings and felt that it was a bit unfamiliar. This place was completely different from the one he was living in. A faint smoke drifted over from an unknown place, coiling around a pool of jade-green water."
