When Earth's most sadistic, theatrical killer is executed by lethal injection, he awakens not in hell, but in a fantasy world teetering on the edge of collapse. Summoned by mistake, meant to be a hero, naturally, he steps out of the summoning circle and…
Princess Belladonna was supposed to summon salvation. Instead, she got something far more dangerous: a monster who discovered that in this world, his particular skills are exactly what's needed. When demon cults sacrifice villages and corrupt officials enable evil through legal technicalities, sometimes protecting the innocent requires becoming something that monsters fear.
As Harlequin Red, the grinning champion in crimson and silver, he doesn't just fight evil, he makes it scream. The System rewards him for every brutal victory, every corrupt official eliminated, every trafficking ring destroyed. And Princess Belladonna? She's learning that sometimes mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
Together, they're building a new kind of kingdom. One where justice is swift, decisive, and absolutely final. Where protecting children matters more than protecting procedures. Where evil has consequences that can't be appealed, bribed away, or forgotten.
The old order valued comfort over courage and procedure over protection.
The new order has sharp teeth and a permanent smile.
Warning: Contains graphic violence, morally complex protagonists, systematic destruction of corrupt institutions, and a romance between two people who believe some problems can only be solved with overwhelming force. Not for readers who prefer their heroes traditionally heroic.
Genre: GameLit
