Synopsis
The world is in peril! Although the Demon King searched far and wide, the Hero to thwart him was still nowhere to be found; and now the king’s given up! He’s ditched the whole conquering schtick to become a NEET instead, refusing to leave his castle until the hero shows up.
Twenty-odd years later, the tardy hero finally makes an appearance.
In any other story, that would have been Cal: an ordinary eighteen-year-old with nothing special about him; well, except for a mum who’s freakishly powerful; a dad who disappeared in mysterious circumstances years ago; and a childhood friend who wants to marry him… So just like you and me, really.
But what if his destiny gets stolen by someone else? Say a gamer co-opts Cal’s body to live out the hero’s journey intended for him instead as an RPG adventure – that’d be a cruel joke, right? Oh… you agree? You think it sounds like the premise for a body-possession horror? Right, well… I mean, this is a comedy, so good thing that’s not the premise here. *whistles innocuously*
What readers can expect:-A full-on comedy novel in a fantasy world, stylistically reminiscent of Terry Pratchett.
-A progression fantasy, but one that takes its time as the main character slowly gathers both power and party members.
-A biweekly release schedule, on Mondays and Fridays.
