When a Knight Becomes a God: Chosen by the Deity I Must Overthrow
Leon Valeris was never good at the game.
In a world where players become gods and control entire civilizations, Leon was average at best—outplayed, outsmarted, and constantly behind.
Then something went wrong.
Instead of awakening as a god like the others, Leon reincarnates as a mortal newborn inside his own assigned civilization.
Worse?
His god is an impulsive, careless, and dangerously naive deity named Tharion Veyris—a being who treats war like a festival and suffering like an acceptable statistic.
At first, Leon accepts his fate as a low-ranking knight.
But when he witnesses the cost of divine incompetence—the needless deaths, broken families, and blind faith—he makes a decision:
If gods are the problem…
Then he will become one.
Not for power.
Not for victory.
But to protect the people who believe in a god that does not deserve them.
To overthrow a deity, Leon must rise through the ranks—knight, priest, patriarch—earning loyalty, manipulating faith, and eventually outsmarting the very god who chose him.
Because in this game of gods and civilizations…
The most dangerous weapon isn’t divine power.
It’s a knight who understands what it means to be human.
