King of Daimons (Fool's Game, Book 1)

The ruling houses of Earth believe the Daimon are their allies. The Daimon kings of Urgol know the humans are their slaves.  The bridge between worlds grows stronger by the day. Magic seeps from Urgol into Earth, gifting the families bound to the Daimon kings with the power to rule the seven billion souls below them with impunity. When Eco Arkwright (a 22 year old bartender who peaked in high school) is randomly chosen to play the Fool in this year’s Daimonalia, an ancient festival of soul hunting and trial by combat, he finds himself thrust into a sick world of dark magic and old money.  Imbued with power he doesn’t understand and joined by companions with ulterior motives he must choose…  Play by the rules, grow stronger, and join the ranks of the elite? Or embrace chaos, align with the rebellion, and break the chains that have bound the people of Earth for millennia. With a little help from a not so humble wizard past his prime, a 2,000 year old Daimon stuck in the body of a golden retriever, and a princess of the Djinn with a penchant for innuendo, he may just stand a chance… but yeah, probably not. What To Expect: - Very weak to very strong MC through EARNED power and progression - No Golden Finger, more Jack-of-all-trades with grit - Found Family - Talking Dog - Multiplanar Reality - Tournaments - Light LitRPG Elements
