by DBecker
A broken father is summoned to save a dying world. He wants nothing to do with it. Kai Drake got out of prison in December. In two weeks, his kids will see him for the first time in seven years. A no-show means he loses his last chance to be a dad. Plans get derailed when he’s transported to another realm and told to kill a Demon King. No cheat powers. No fluffy bunny ‘level ups’. Just PTSD, stubborn rage, and a Glock. He’s not here to save the magical world of Tenka. There’s only one goal: get home by Christmas. What to Expect: Isekai, highly reluctant anti-hero, grimdark, violence, brutality, profanity, action, PTSD, morally gray, modern knowledge, multiple POV, trope subversion, high stakes, and tight deadline. What NOT to expect (approaches but deliberately avoids): Standard OP Iseksi Hero, Harem Romance, wish fulfilment, power progression fantasy, clean heroic narrative. It comes close to some spice due to roles and scheming but undercuts it with Drake’s trauma and priorities. Our boy does NOT want to play. A raw, mature, trope-subverting take on the genre. Status Book One: Complete Book Two: Complete Book Three: M, W, F release. 1:31 PM (Eastern).
