The summoning of otherworldly heroes is a dangerous gambit for King Edward Ricousian—heroes show up with ridiculous cheat powers and wild ideas about “human rights” and “justice for commoners.” But with demons on the verge of overrunning his starving kingdom, he chooses to roll the dice, and ends up saddled with Thomas Smith. The king and his advisors hope to control Thomas by setting him up with a “harem” of beautiful, deadly young women and carefully manipulating his perception of the war, hiding his country’s wrongdoings and painting their foes as evil monsters. But Thomas isn’t the kind of person who lets anyone control him. Can a normal guy from Earth cut through the lies to find out what’s really going on—and when he does, will anything be left standing?
