Summary
The silence stretched between them then, thick and awkward. Not because they had nothing to say; because they had too much. Too many questions neither wanted to voice first. Too many unspoken rules from Hell suddenly meaningless here.
Vox finally stood, joints cracking in protest. Annoying. Stupid human body. “Look. All I know is we woke up like this. On Earth. Together. With all our memories and none of our powers. So, congratulations, deer boy, you’re stuck with me.”
Alastor pinched the bridge of his nose, inhaling sharply through his teeth. “Let me get this straight. I have been forcibly deposited into a mortal vessel, next to you, with no warning, no explanation, and no immediate means of escape?”
“That’s the gist,” Vox said.
Alastor stared at him.
Then laughed.
Or Alastor and Vox find themselves trapped in Purgatory with human bodies.

Summary
Things are changing. The world is shifting, radio has seen better days, and the only thing more dangerous than a killer’s secret is the desperation of a man trying to expose it at all costs.
As Alastor fights to protect his footing as a radio star from ruthless new investors and a rising tide of conservatism in radio, he finds a different kind of 'fan' in morning news anchor Vincent Whittman: a desperate man, methodical, and dangerously close. A tool to keep his station, nonetheless.
Vincent, meanwhile, is caught between the sharp eye of the law, his hunger for opportunities, and a damning cache of knowledge regarding 'the voice of New Orleans'. All he wants is to unmask Alastor.
Both having sacrificed everything to reach their current heights, they find a common ground.

Summary
Alastor had long since accepted that if God existed (he still had doubts) then they were a being cruel and indifferent to human suffering. One which created a system vast and complex in its laws and patterns with the intention to cause pain. That they, much like himself, must enjoy watching others suffer; if God is real then surely they revel in the agony bestowed upon humans, must garner some form of gratification from it all. Perhaps the only difference it would seem, is that for Alastor, it wasn’t fun when it wasn’t warranted.
Or: Alastor is suffering after the battle, all he wants is to make himself something sweet in the privacy of the kitchen. Too bad no one else seems to be getting the memo. Can't a demon get a moment's peace in this God forsaken hotel?

Summary
Alastor has sensitive hands; he finds this out at the most inconvenient time possible. Unfortunately, Vox is the one who ends up paying the price for it.
Having to help a seemingly broken Overlord whilst navigating this new discovery proves to be a little more taxing than the Radio Demon could ever have imagined.

Summary
Charles Leclerc didn’t ask to be a demigod. He didn’t ask to be chased by monsters, dragged to a camp full of chaotic teenage heroes, or told his real dad lives somewhere near Mount Olympus—or, worse, in Monte Carlo. He just wants to go home. Unfortunately, the gods have other plans. And so does a very annoying son of Zeus named Max.
