I Was Mistaken for the Reincarnated Evil Overlord
Darin was just a simple blacksmith. He wanted a quiet life, a steady job, and maybe enough money to fix the hole in his roof.
But fate had other plans.
Thanks to an unfortunate mix of coincidences, a ridiculous prophecy, and some very excitable villagers, Darin suddenly finds himself labeled as the reincarnation of an ancient, all-powerful Dark Lord. Now, knights want to slay him, cultists want to worship him, and political schemers want to manipulate him, all while he desperately tries to convince everyone that he is just some guy.
With misunderstandings piling up faster than he can escape them, Darin must navigate a world that insists on making him its next great villain… whether he likes it or not.
A comedy of mistaken identity, accidental power plays, and one very confused protagonist, I Was Mistaken for the Reincarnated Evil Overlord is a lighthearted fantasy adventure where every denial only makes things worse.
Greetings dear readers! Shameless author here. This is my experimental dive into the comedy genre, and let me tell you, it's absolute chaos. You ever wonder what happens when an average guy gets mistaken for the most powerful evil overlord in history? No grand powers. No dark armies. Just one very confused blacksmith and a world that refuses to believe he’s not their legendary villain. This novel is a glorious disaster of misunderstandings, ridiculous logic, and an MC who just wants to live a quiet life but keeps accidentally conquering everything. From cultists who worship his “hidden genius” to knights who challenge him based on nothing, Darin’s journey is one long scream of frustration—and I am here for it. What to expect: ✅ A completely unwilling protagonist forced into being a Dark Lord. ✅ Idiots everywhere who think every accident is proof of his power. ✅ A legendary chicken-based combat strategy (Yes, this is a thing). ✅ Zero face-slapping arrogance—just pure comedic suffering. ✅ An MC who spends half the novel trying (and failing) to run away. This is not your standard power fantasy. This is pure, unfiltered nonsense, and I hope you enjoy every second of Darin’s pain. This is my first attempt at comedy, so let me know what you think! If you love misunderstandings, satire, and a protagonist who just wants a refund on his life, this might be the novel for you. Enjoy the madness. 😈🔥
