Fun Van, a god fleeing universal destruction, takes contract work across dimensions posing as villains to rekindle mortal faith in the divine. When he lands in a universe facing genuine apocalypse from a real demon lord, he must work both sides—playing the villain while secretly preparing heroes to face the true threat. E.M. Hardy's series is a charming exploration of guilt, growth, and redemption through unconventional narrative structure and dark humor.
Are you a god in dire need of followers, of some more faithful to bolster your ranks? Then I’m the one you’re looking for! A Demon Lord in all its glory!
You may hire my services for a small fee, that is a small portion of your divinity. I will send my minions to terrorize the populace and give people a reason to pray to you. I will spawn horrors to drum up support or even trigger a holy crusade.
Just sign the contract and I’ll take care of everything. You won’t even have to lift a finger, except maybe to bless a few heroes of your choosing to face off against my armies and eventually defeat me, the dreaded Demon Lord, in dramatic fashion. This is a bargain you can’t possible pass up!
But I warn you, if I hold up my end of the deal, I expect you to honor it too, or else…
