THE GOD OF MISFORTUNE

Every thousand years, the gods descend to Earth for the Ascension Royale, a high-stakes competition broadcasted across the heavens. The rules are simple: each god is randomly assigned a human host. For one year, they must keep their mortal alive as monsters ravage the world. The last god standing wins divine glory—but for Luis Mendoza, a broke college accounting student, his assigned deity is Zyx, the God of Misfortune, a cosmic joke even among the divine. Now, with monsters emerging worldwide and rival hosts hunting each other for power, Luis must survive a year of chaos—despite his own god’s unlucky influence.
