<p>"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes.</p> <p>Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he'd built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction."</p> <p>I've been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I've always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity.</p> <p>As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli's "The Prince" as the primary playbook.</p> <p>The "monsters" are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list.</p> <p>The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail.</p> <p>Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.</p>
