Description: [edit] [history]

My first public work! At this posting I've written the first eight chapters of ~1.5-2.5k words a piece for readable size. Your honest feedback is tremendously appreciated!

Updates currently 1 chapter each M-F at 15:00 GMT (5 chapters weekly or 7500-12500 words/week)

A lazy godling botches their first Summoning in an attempt to bring 'sweet confections' to the Realm. The Summoning gives the bakery staff epic power, but a lazy engineer and his three friends are also pulled into the Realm, arriving without divine gifts, knowledge, or a purpose. When the godling tries to complete the process for these extras to escape punishment, her divine powers are drained and the friends are transformed in unexpected ways.

Largely a 2nd person perspective with an omniscient viewpoint for the active character (primarily Alan), the story will follow the unintentionally Summoned group of thirty-something friends, stuck now in youthful bodies (with a MtF and FtM transition) and tasked with basically babysitting a godling that was banished for not growing up.

With no real epic mission in mind, the four friends struggle to find a real direction in their new life, deciding to make their way to safer lands where 'Man' is welcome. With an ancient but child-like godling and a hot-headed Talor (elf-analogue) turned beast-hybrid in tow, they may be their own worst enemies. Somehow Alan has the key to ultimate power and a potential harem... he doesn't care. Ultimate power takes too much work and who really wants to deal with the affections of multiple women anyways?!?Some mild NSFW content, cursing, traumatic content and introspection. Definitely contains gender-bender elements. The worst thing is probably the puns. When it is made available (when there is enough interest), explicit scenes will be released as a Patreon perk.
