I’ll do whatever it takes to win her over, because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that this beast’s heart only beats for one woman: the Queen of Tales.

And if killing bad guys makes me a villain in the eyes of the heroes, well...I’ll destroy them too.

Reality took a nosedive when Armageddon came knocking. It brought with it classes, levels, and skills, as well as a horde of Lovecraftian abominations to use them on. I never wanted any of this, but the sick god who orchestrated this whole nightmare has my family. Their lives are forfeit if I refuse to play his game. The prize? A wish. With it, I can protect my family, fix everything that's broken, and save the world.

His power is only as good as the skill he possesses to wield it. But there is a reason the former War God fell. He can only dare to imagine what foes lie in wait.

What could be hard about that?

I promised to come back, and she promised to stay. When I came back for her, two weeks later, she was gone—the only thing left to prove that she'd even been there in the first place were the signed divorce papers she left behind. Even though I wanted to go after her with every fiber of my being, I didn't because Kait had decided what she wanted, and it wasn't me.
