Ok, so, imagine getting isekai’d… Only to discover you’re the fantasy equivalent of the last living nuclear weapon. You have a tattoo you don’t remember getting that randomly bursts into flames.Everyone wants to recruit you.Everyone wants to kill you.And your assigned spirit guide is a sarcastic crow who genuinely hates you. *Enter Steve* Steve was just a rando with anger issues until a bus turned him into pink mist.Now he’s the last Pyromancer alive in a strange world, hunted by an army of ice fanatics who already wiped out everyone else with his powers. Steve needs to gain allies and pass trials to enhance his powers. Oh, and if Steve dies, the world dies with him. No pressure. If you like darkly hilarious progression fantasy with earned power growth, kingdom building, cult building, big battles, and a healthy amount of sarcasm, you might enjoy Steve: The Last Pyromancer. This story includes:- Isekai- Slow burn Progression- Sarcastic Underdog MC- Kingdom Building- Large scale battles- Occasional tugs on the old heart strings- Dark Edgelord Comedy ;)- No Harem, No AI (besides cover)
