A morally gray man attempts to flee his small-town religious trauma and start a new life in Seattle. When his parents commit to a deadly ritual with space demons, he sacrifices himself to save them. With newfound power, he is forced to come to terms with his role as a protector and stop his hometown pastors' world-ending religious crusade–only to later choose the woman he loves over the fate of humanity.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 10–19 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
