Disillusioned

A Knight Out of Time. A World Out of Order.

When Vergil Parmeligo, Knight of the Order of the Unyielding Badger, wakes up after inhaling a lungful of mysterious silvery powder, he finds himself over a century removed from his last quest. The goblins he swore to vanquish? No longer the enemy. His estate? In ruins. Civilization? Steam-powered and suspiciously tolerant of the monstrous and the absurd.

Joined by his well-meaning but dim caretaker Handri, Vergil sets out to reclaim his honor, his holdings, and perhaps a slightly less humiliating reputation. But in a land now ruled by bureaucrats, misfits, and questionable philosophies, Vergil must learn the hard way that being a chivalrous knight in a post-chivalric world isn’t just inconvenient—it’s practically heresy.

Disillusioned skewers fantasy tropes and modern absurdities with wit and wisdom in equal measure. A tale of misplaced valor, crumbling ideals, and one man’s refusal to give up on honor—even if it means fighting trains, trolls, and terrifying truths about the nature of heroism.
