Monsters Mayhem & Misfits Series by Jack Spry, Marcus Sloss

When Josh Underwood is thrown through a wormhole and lands on an unfamiliar world, he is immediately attacked by flesh-eating worms and snarling wolves. He has one huge advantage. A ring sits on his finger, but it's no ordinary ring. It's alien tech designed to improve its host’s strength, speed, agility, durability and combat instinct. Not all boons are infinitely wondrous. This tech has to understand what Josh needs for it to evolve, and time is of the essence... moreWhen Josh Underwood is thrown through a wormhole and lands on an unfamiliar world, he is immediately attacked by flesh-eating worms and snarling wolves. He has one huge advantage. A ring sits on his finger, but it's no ordinary ring. It's alien tech designed to improve its host’s strength, speed, agility, durability and combat instinct. Not all boons are infinitely wondrous. This tech has to understand what Josh needs for it to evolve, and time is of the essence. An evil force is rising in Mythelore and threatening not only the land’s entire way of life but also Josh’s new companions—the lovely Arabella, Elowen, the wildly sexy archaeologist, and Cassandra, a sassy witch with no understanding of her true powers. Only one question Will Josh’s power grow in time to save them? less

Josh yearns for a smidge of peace and quiet, but Mythelore has other ideas. Cassandra must learn to control her magic before she accidentally casts a world ending spell, and there is only one person who can help her. They must travel to the Elven land of Alianthia to seek out the old harmonic Simmalion — a handy coincidence as that is where the healer, Vella, comes from... moreJosh yearns for a smidge of peace and quiet, but Mythelore has other ideas.

If he can woo her to his side, Josh can complete his party and go monster hunting. But time isn’t on Josh’s side as monsters of all kinds are fleeing the Hangsane Mountains and invading the Elven lands. As Josh struggles to master his power, can he add to his team and beat the monsters? less
