The Reluctant Monarch

In a world where mortals battle for the vacant thrones of fallen gods, a being of unimaginable power desires only a quiet life. To himself, he is a simple acolyte tending his garden; to everyone else, his every effortless act is a divine masterstroke. A powerful secret society rises in his name, built entirely on the wild misinterpretations of allies who see a grand design in his every whim. As empires, churches, and abyssal horrors clash over the remnants of divinity, this reluctant god-in-hiding is unwillingly drawn into the fray. His greatest challenges aren't the world-ending threats—it's that they keep interrupting his peaceful routine. When the path to godhood itself opens before him, he faces the ultimate choice: claim absolute power, or finally go back to his garden.
