Prester John is an adventure novel by John Buchan. It tells the story of a young Scotsman named David Crawfurd and his adventures in South Africa, where a Zulu uprising is tied to the medieval legend of Prester John. Crawfurd is similar in many ways to Buchan's later character, Richard Hannay. The legends of Prester John were popular in Europe from the 12th through the 17th centuries, and told of a Christian patriarch and king said to rule over a Christian nation lost amidst the Muslims and pagans in the Orient. Written accounts of this kingdom are variegated collections of medieval popular fantasy. Prester John was reportedly a descendant of one of the Three Magi, said to be a generous ruler and a virtuous man, presiding over a realm full of riches and strange creatures, in which the Patriarch of the Saint Thomas Christians resided. His kingdom contained such marvels as the Gates of Alexander and the Fountain of Youth, and even bordered the Earthly Paradise. Among his treasures was a mirror through which every province could be seen, the fabled original from which the "speculum literature" of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance was derived, in which the prince's realms were surveyed and his duties laid out.

“A task? Am I to become a hero?” He shouted, his eyes sparkling. He’s going to be the evil god, but I cannot allow him to decline my offer or else Master will be disappointed in me, Cash thought. “Yes, and because you don’t remember your past, I will grant you the name of John Calamity.” She declared. “John Calamity? Isn’t a calamity a bad thing?” John asked. Cask shook her head. “What you will be doing won't be a bad thing. I’m sending you to a world where you’ll be a hero, protecting the unfortunate and weak from the strong.” She said, pushing a smile out. She faced John for two moments more than comfortable with the unnerving smile that pierced John’s mind. John shook off the bad vibe he was receiving from her, enjoying the idea of becoming a hero. Cask noticed his fantasies beginning and decided to prey on that while licking her lips. “I will send you to the world instantly… if you choose to… “ She said, influencing his mind. John nodded his head and declared that he wanted to be in the world. Cask smirked at his declaration before nodding and beginning her chants. She finished her chants within a minute with another purple magic circle appearing under John. “Wait! What’s my mission? Is it to save the world or to defeat the demon lord?” John asked from within the boundaries of the magic circle. Cask smirked before licking her lips, sending chills down his spine. Cask stared at him with hungry eyes. “To survive,” [mehr]
