About

Welcome to Elyria, the grand, brutal playground of the Pantheons. Snatched from Earth without warning, thousands of humans are dropped into a ruthless world where might makes right. To survive, they must pledge their souls to arrogant deities in exchange for explosive divine blessings. Those who refuse are treated as disposable trash. Jake Mercer has average stats, an exceptional intelligence, and absolutely zero interest in being a god's plaything. Remaining Unpledged, he relies on a seemingly useless F-rank talent and his sociopathic acting skills to navigate a game rigged against him. While other players rely on the raw, lazy power of their gods, Jake plays the harmless, smiling victim, quietly mapping out his enemies' weaknesses and preparing to sweep the board. Because in Jake's game, the gods don't write the rules, and one thing that is always certain is victory.
