“The Witcher of the Twenty-Third Century” is a fantastic novel by Vladimir Myasoedov, the first book in the eponymous cycle. Genres: action fantasy, heroic fantasy, transmigrators. For one young man who happened to meet a real demon, a streak of bad luck began—so he’s forced to torment himself with countless questions and find answers to them on his own. He has only one eye left? Yes. Is it Russia? It seems so. Moscow? Looks like it—at least in some places. Only there are no traffic jams, no multi-story buildings, and no Kremlin. But there are steam robots, magicians, and a whole lot of problems. The century? Well, everyone says it’s the twenty-third. Oh, and he’s subject to conscription—there’s no way to refuse military service.
