A man died tragically when his former world had an unfortunate apocalypse.

After a brief stay in Hell, he has found himself in another world. Magic and monsters await, and the newly young man now wants to rise to the fabled ranks of herodom. Kill a ferocious beast. Save a princess. Maybe even become a king of a country or two. There are only two slight problems at the start: One, his name is Melvin. Two, his parents are still alive.

Solvable problems, as is anything else that stands in his way.
