George never asked to be dropped into another world with nothing but his infant son, Joji, strapped to his chest. When the goddess of this land abandons it — leaving behind a world of dwindling mana and a darkness slowly brewing beneath the surface — survival becomes more than just keeping his child fed and safe.

With only his wits, a diaper bag, and the reluctant guidance of a sharp-tongued mage named Anika, George stumbles into a struggle where some see Joji as hope… and others see him as a weapon.

To George, he’s just his son — and he’ll do anything to protect him.
