Eric turns out to be another fun story by Terry Pratchett in the Discworld, and is the froth in the Rincewind series. This particular one really jumps around a bit, and not only just around the Discworld, but around time and space as well which allows for the setting to change quite drastically from part to part.

Accompanied by his best friends, there's only one thing Eric wishes now -- that he'd never been born!. And as if that wasn't bad enough, that lovable travel accessory the Luggage has arrived, too. This would-be Faust is very badat his work, that is. Discworld's only demonology hacker, Eric, is about to make life very difficult for the rest of Ankh-Morpork's denizens. Instead of a powerful demon, he conjures, well, Rincewind, a wizard whose incompetence is matched only by Eric's

The Discworld books are building a following that is beginning to resemble that of Piers Anthony's Xanth stories, although it can be said that Pratchett is rather more sophisticated than Anthony.
