Exiled to Earth, separated from his children and stuck babysitting the demon twins of a cosmic warlord. It’s safe to say Iode de Pandavatton’s life did not go as planned. Once a powerful parahuman from another world, Iode now finds himself navigating a planet filled with vampires, werewolves, secret factions, and caffeine-dependent humans. With a body decaying from a curse he cast on himself (yes, he’s that kind of genius), all he wants is to get home and fix the mess he left behind. But when he finally returns, he’s hit with a cruel truth: time moved on without him. His world is unrecognizable, broken by conflict and division. Worse yet? A prophesied invasion looms in the shadows. With diplomacy dead and hope in short supply, Iode makes a decision: If the world won’t unite on its own... he’ll force it to. Even if it means becoming the villain everyone fears.
