Bad Assassins
Impossible? Don't you mean: this should be fun?
A City That Can't Be Conquered
Jack Atlas barely survived the first floor, and now the Tower's unceremoniously booted him to the second. Even with his mana on the fritz, he's once again given a so-called impossible task by his benefactor: conquer Broken Moon City, and claim it as his own.
The sprawling undead metropolis is where the Tower's races collide in a blood-soaked melting pot, and no one person has ever managed to carve out their own throne. Fortunately, Jack has... let's say allies. Teaming up with a goblin who treats the rules of alchemy as something to be staunchly ignored, his best friend Hannah, and a handful of sketchy oddballs, the malfunctioning assassin sets out to either capture a city that's proven impossible to conquer, or burn the place to the ground—doing his best to avoid turning everyone he meets into a lifelong enemy.
No matter what happens, Jack's gonna enjoy doing it.

Because Reading is Hard
The Tower hits different when someone's narrating Jack's internal monologue out loud. Johnathan McClain brings the sarcasm, the chaos, and the surprisingly emotional bits to life in a way that makes you forget you're driving past your exit.
The Verdict
“Jack trying to conquer an entire city with vibes and violence is the most on-brand thing I've ever read.”
“The undead metropolis worldbuilding is insane. I didn't want to leave.”
“The goblin alchemist is the best new character in the series. I would die for Nutt.”
“This one is simply a step above the rest. More of the ridiculous action, please.”
