Synopsis: A boy from earth finds himself transported to a parallel reality where people live in a feudal system alongside elves, dragons, ogres, and giants, and is taken under the wing of an old hermit disabled by fighting the giants. In time, transformed by an elf queen into a strapping young man, he determines to become a knight, and sets off to find a magical sword which will grant him the hand of the elf queen, accompanied by a couple of human servants, a talking cat and supernatural dog, and two elf girls.
