Home/Fantasy/The Reluctant God of the Riverbank

I didn't ask to become a god. I just wanted to catch a quiet moment. When I woke up inside the boiling magma core of Mount Surak, I simply climbed out, dusted off the ash, and went looking for a good fishing spot. Apparently, casually strolling out of a sacred volcano makes you a deity. I gave a shiny, coin-like pebble I found in the lava to a starving beggar - turns out it was the long-lost Heart of Urmal, and now I have a zealous princess worshiping the ground I walk on. Worse, the expansionist Trezantine Empire has declared me a threat to their global conquest. They sent their most ruthless inquisitor, Inessa Voran, to execute me. She is terrifying, incredibly beautiful, and completely ruins the tranquility of my lake. But no matter how many armies she brings, I am not abandoning my favorite fishing spot. As she slowly realizes her empire is corrupt, our deadly rivalry turns into a tentative, blushing romance. But with a misunderstood 'villain' threatening the borders for a heartbreaking reason, can I really spend eternity holding a fishing rod?
