In a world of magic and dragons, humanity’s greatest hope is the Summoned Heroes. The Church of the Goddess, the only institution capable of performing the summoning ritual, did what any reasonable institution would do. They made a catalogue. Why rely on fate when you can have a price list? Different tiers. Different classes. Different budgets.From premium, battle-tested champions, to “affordable” options for struggling kingdoms. Because even the poor deserve their own personal hero. Unfortunately, one such “budget-conscious” kingdom got... Theo. A professional séance scammer. A necromancer who couldn’t control the dead. A defective product. So, they did the logical thing: They threw him away. What no one knows is, he can summon the dead, even though his system only allows him to summon souls from Earth. From Archimedesto Nikola Tesla,Julius Caesarto George S. Patton,Leonardo da Vincito… Steve Jobs? Men who shaped civilizations, now answering to a scammer. A kingdom forged from Earth’s greatest minds to devour other kingdoms in Civara… and perhaps even the Goddess herself. There is just one problem. Right next door lies the Demon Kingdom, And it has been waiting to devour Civara, long before Theo ever arrived. --- New Chapter:Tue, Sat.
