No one can predict how his life will turn out. For example, Ivan Vasilyevich Stepnoy, a soil science student... did he know in advance that one day, due to his own, frankly speaking, stupidity, he would end up in a completely alien world, and not alone, but in the company of two non-humans, whose difficult relationship can be defined as “ predator - prey"? That he would have to rub shoulders with revived strangled women and crazy magicians, fight flesh-eating monsters and noble heroes, rid royal castles of curses, woo princesses, look for some magical artifacts and create others?.. Of course, he did not expect anything like this! But it happened. And it can happen to anyone! It is precisely this turn in the reader’s life that our “Very Useful Book” is designed for.
