The Requisite Records of a Misplaced Hero
(2021)(The first book in the Misplaced Hero series)
A novel by Envy Mercury
Summoned to another world. He must save them all.
"The Requisite Records for a Misplaced Hero is a unique voice in the sometimes overdone epic fantasy genre. It's a brilliant idea that needs more exploration." - Bookworm Reviews
Beck was a burnout—a drug-addicted office drone drowning in regret, nightmares, and a life that barely felt like his own. One ordinary morning, a blinding light rips him from his crumbling world and drops him into a brutal fantasy realm… pants down, mid-mistake, and immediately branded a pervert.
But this isn’t just any isekai. The locals know him as Lord Rezner—the legendary Prince of Darkness, destroyer of kingdoms, and creator of demons. A hero who vanished years ago, leaving behind a power vacuum, a trail of broken alliances, and a succubus familiar who never stopped waiting for her Master.
With nothing but hazy memories, crippling withdrawals, and a smart-mouthed catgirl who just got him arrested, Beck must reclaim the terrifying legacy he left behind. As old enemies rise and a corrupt kingdom tightens its grip, he’ll forge uneasy alliances, master forbidden magic, and face down demons, slavers, and gods themselves.
Because in this world, the line between hero and villain was never clear—and the only way forward is to become something far more dangerous.
A gritty, darkly humorous isekai packed with brutal action, found family, intense romance (and yes, a devoted harem), redemption, and epic stakes. For fans of The Beginning After The End, Defiance of the Fall, and He Who Fights with Monsters.
He didn’t ask to be the villain.But the world already wrote the ending.
