Alec Fredo Nucci, chronically distracted, wakes late to the end of the world. Convinced he has been transported to a fantasy world that he’s meant to save, he can’t understand why everyone, including this death cult (and the cosmic horror Miranda), insists on treating him as the Destroyer of Worlds. JUST because he was a lawyer-turned-advertiser in his previous life does not mean he is Sith Lord-squared, okay? That is prejudicial profiling by whichever cosmic isekai committee read his CV. Behold the facts: He was spared from the reality-altering Apocalypse that took place two hundred years ago and blessed with a Supreme Farming talent. He can instantly grow any seed he touches, compressing its entire life cycle into seconds by draining nutrients from whatever it roots into, whether soil, water, corpses, or his own body. Clearly, he is meant to cultivate paradise on earth -- right?! Sorry—a cyclops was found dead, exploded from the inside with watermelon seeds? Coincidence. Portals to hell realms keep opening whenever he tries to pray? Correlation is NOT causation. An eldritch entity is playing hide and seek inside his soul and stealing all his progression? Now, that might be a problem. Also—would you mind signing this NDA? This story is an escalating slow burn and a weak-to-overpowered progression fantasy with LitRPG elements. What to expect: - Weak-to-strong Plant Mage MC who never fights fair - Becoming The Monster - Intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices - Complex power system - Hardcore grinding - Brutal fights Upload Schedule:- I'm going to be uploading the entirety of Book 1 today (100k+ words), so that you can get a feel for the story and see if it's your cup of tea or not.- If we make it to Rising Stars: Daily chapters while on RS (Mon-Fri).- After that, I'll scale back to 3 chapters per week (7500 words total) so I don't go completely mad :D Cover art commissioned from Luciano FleitasCover title and typography by Simon Escobar
