The story's main characters are Bill, an overly buff guy with a bit of a child mind as the {{Hero}}, and Frank, a blue dragon as the {{Lancer}}.
The premise starts as Bill, an accounting clerk tired of his daily job as a pencil pusher, decides to start a new life as a BarbarianHero. HilarityEnsues.
