Editing Summary:The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England

Ryan apologizes for taking it too far and gives John a hard time for not knowing what he enjoys. It seems as if John is trying to figure out what he likes and what he's good at, as he has been keeping a list of things he likes in a notebook. Ryan is going to do the harder part of their plan to get to Ulric, while John gets to run straight into the trap. Ryan gives John some marshmallows, and John thinks about how they would go camping with Ryan's dad. John talks about how he was kicked out of the academy and lets Ryan know that he didn't quit. Ryan tries to tell John to take responsibility for his downfalls, but John has had unfortunate circumstances. John says that when Jen left is when he really knew he was hopeless. John believes that he killed Jen, and that he drove her away. Ryan tells John that he doesn't blame him for what happened to Jen. Both men loved the same woman, but overall Jen chose John. Ryan refers to them defeating Ulric as John's escape from the avalanche of his life.

John tells the groups he's been traveling with that in his world they use lightning for light, and then he draws a room with light, a microwave, a fridge, a skyscraper, and Seattle's skyline with the space needle. They figure out from these pictures that there are hundreds of other people like John living in his world. They refer to this as peaceful because so many people are living together but aren't fighting. John thinks about how this dimension is cruel and harsh. He considers how bad it is without medicine. John wants to bring his new friends technology so they can live better lives. His new friends are confused why he left the other world to come live in their world to help save them from the bad people hunting them. Ealston names his ax Rowena after his wife, because he likes his wife and he likes his ax. John recognizes that his relationship with Jen was always tense, and they fought a lot. He knows that Ryan would've been the better man for Jen. His relationship that's growing with Sefawynn is a much calmer friendship. Ulric took away John's powers. Ealston lets John know to not be ashamed of his joy. Sefawynn and John are very close together, and yet John knows he should leave because he believes he's destroying their world.

Ryan asks John if he can be relied on. John lets Ryan know that he cares about this place, and he won't let them down. They hug, and the fight begins.

John tries to convince Quinn that he's been captured. Quinn doesn't want to be captured by someone like John and thinks it's embarrassing. Sefawynn lets John know that the Hordamen have arrived to the fight.

There are hundreds of Hordamen. John figures out that Ryan is in danger because of his beacon, which Ulric is planning on using. Sefawynn tells John that she doesn't believe they can stop the Hordamen. Ealstan lets John know that he will follow him until the end. Ryan is captured, and Ulric has Ryan's beacon. Jen was supposedly Ryan's inside man. She's alive.

Jen and Ryan have been working together all along. They pretended that Jen was dead and essentially were together all of John and Jen's relationship. John figures this out in front of Ealstan, who is really confused that John considered these people his friends. He doesn't have any more feelings for Jen. Jen and Ryan and Marta go into a portal to escape, but John turns the switch and stays in this dimension. He wants to defeat Ulric. When he goes outside, he sees Sefawynn standing in the middle of the battle.

Sefawynn seems to have called the wights of the city towards defying Woden. Thokk is John's wight, but she tells John she isn't a wight after all. Woden hates losing, and Thokk reveals she's the sister of Woden who is the mother of monsters, the goddess of Logna. Thokk explains that she can't stop Ulric, and John tells her that he can defeat Ulric. Quinn and John fight next to the portal in a boxing match.

Quinn and John are fighting pretty badly. Breaking the machine causes certain repercussions of changes. John throws Quinn into the portal. John then stomps on the machine and breaks it. Ulric shoots John, but the beacon is in his hand and he squeezes it to destroy it. Ealstan defeats the other soldiers who had gone outside to deal with him, and he arrives at the door in time to shoot Ulric and kill him.

John believes that he has to leave to save the dimension. Thokk says that John could stay, but he would have to keep traveling around from town to town to not do any harm to the dimension. Thokk lets John know that he could stay to protect Sefawynn from Woden. Thokk tells John that he should enjoy being somebody he likes. John has now defeated the man he used to be and has done something great, saving this dimension from himself and his past life. In doing that, he found a new life with his new friends and a new love.
