Milo, a nerdy teenager, gets summoned into an abandoned Dark Tower by a band of goblins attempting to resurrect their former master. In a world where the forces of light have conclusively defeated the darkness, restricted the use of magic, and now rule with the iron fist, he becomes the seed of the resistance. To build a Dark Empire powerful enough to liberate the world, he must pretend to be the fallen Evil Overlord, master forbidden magics, and lead a tribe of goblins, all while hiding from the Evil Overlord's former enemies and allies, who would kill him if they knew he existed.

This is a cozy and lighthearted episodic isekai progression fantasy with a hard magic system and adorable goblins, in a colorful fantasy world where the "bad guys" need a hero. Think "Gravity Falls" meets "Firefly" meets "Hotel Transylvania" meets "Despicable Me".

I'm writing this fantasy story with the help of the storytelling tools I've made:

• Quick Quest - a Solo RPG designed to make it as easy as possible to get started with roleplaying and complete your first adventure. It provides minimalistic structure that guides me through creating the story.
• Story Source - a deck of endless storytelling prompts I use to inspire creative ideas.

I am improvising a campaign guided by these rules, random prompts, and rolls of the dice.
