The Stakes Have Never Been Higher!
Alexander S. Ryker is now a marriage candidate to Gabrielle Angelise, the princess of Angelisia and daughter of King Lucifer, who rules over most of the galaxy. Of course, he’s only her marriage candidate because Gabrielle is pretending to love him. For the sake of her freedom and continued happiness, he’s decided to play along.
Unfortunately, his decision has once more cost him—several billion credits worth of damage to Mars’ City’s dome, which protects the citizens from the harmful atmosphere. The only way to pay it off is to spend time with one of the only people he hates more than anyone else: His uncle, Nicolas Ryker.
The shenanigans of a wannabe hero and a bodacious alien princess continues in A Most Unlikely Hero Volume 3!

CHAPTER 1 PREVIEW
CHAPTER 1 PREVIEW
Jāhilīyahns rarely left their home planet. They were not isolationists who believed in remaining on their planet from birth to death, in segregating themselves from the rest of the galaxy. It was simply a matter of genetics. Jāhilīyahns were not built with space travel in mind. Their bodies were naturally predisposed toward surviving in the harsh deserts of their home, and they couldn’t survive long periods of time outside of that ecosystem.
That said, they had created spaceships to travel the stars specifically designed to mimic the environment of their home planet.
The reasons they traveled to space were few and far between. While some had left their home planet of Jāhilīyah to seek adventure, using a unique eco-suit that mimicked the arid environment of their home planet, most journeyed into space to acquire resources—namely, water. Because their planet was a desert, there was little water to be found. Even moisture vaporators didn’t work well. After all, one could not pull what didn’t exist.
There used to be water beneath the surface, flowing through subterranean veins. Such was not the case now. Their water had long since dried up. Without water, her people would die, and so they took to the stars to import water from other planets.
However, there was only so much they could import. Aside from that, Jāhilīyah did not have much in the way of natural resources. Their planet did not contain any precious minerals, no unique treasures specific to their planet, so they lacked anything of value with which to barter. This meant that all of their water came from a few brave souls. These Jāhilīyahns wandered the galaxy, doing odd jobs in exchange for water.
Unfortunately, odd jobs could only get them so much. That was why, when the message from King Lucifer spread to their part of the galaxy, Al-lāt had ordered her eldest brother to marry Princess Gabrielle at any cost. If he could become the ruler of the galaxy, the emperor, then their people’s livelihood would be secured. That was her hope.
Things hadn’t turned out like she’d expected them to.
Kneeling before her, his durable exo-skeleton chipped and cracked, was her brother. Ibn-Al Kalbi had definitely seen better days. He reminded her of this one time where she’d used her powers over sand to slowly crush a rock. She wondered at what sort of trouble he’d run into that could make him look like this.
“I am guessing things did not go as planned,” she stated.
Her brother flinched. “No, they did not. It is with great regret that I admit I wasn’t able to make Princess Gabrielle mine.”
“How is it that you, one of our best puppet masters, was defeated by a mere human?”
Jāhilīyahns were known for their unique puppeteering skills. By manipulating the energy inside of themselves, they could create threads that they attached to objects and controlled them. To this end, they built puppets forged from an alloy that was stronger than adamantium using a unique forging process where they melted the sand of their home planet, which had the alloy their puppets needed.
Of course, the sands of their deserts did not have much of that alloy. Certainly, there was not enough to make these puppets for everyone, which was why only their most elite members of society, their nobles, were able to have these puppets made.
While most of their puppets were not made for combat, her brother was one of their Guardian Warriors, a group dedicated to protecting the peace and prosperity of their planet. His puppets were made for battle.
“The person that I faced couldn’t possibly be human!” Ibn-Al Kalbi shouted. “There’s no way! He was way stronger than any human I’ve ever heard of! And he had this weird power that completely destroyed my most powerful puppet!”
“A strange power, you say?”
“Yeah. A really strange power. The first time I fought him, this strange red aura appeared and nearly melted my puppets, and when I used Iblīs, he created this giant sword out of blue energy and cut right through my armor!”
Al-lāt frowned. “That does not sound like a human.”
Humans were the most numerous species in the galaxy, but they were also the weakest. They had no powers, no unique attributes, and their only saving grace seemed to be their ability to survive in a variety of different environments. Killing a single human should have been easy.
But, if he isn’t a human like King Lucifer said…
Could it be that King Lucifer was merely toying with everyone? The man was not known to be a joker. Al-lāt had heard rumors that King Lucifer had a terrible temper. He had destroyed a planet once just because its representative had pissed him off.
I must get to the bottom of this.
“Go to the hospital and get your wounds healed, please.”
“H-hold on! Let me make up for my failure. Send me back to Mars and I’ll—”
“No,” Al-lāt interrupted, holding up a hand. “You will do no such thing, not while you’re in this condition. Go to the hospital, rest, and heal your wounds. I’ll deal with Gabrielle’s suitor personally.”
Ibn-Al Kalbi looked like he wanted to argue, but he seemed to think better of it. Standing to his feet, he bowed to her, trying to mask his pain, and limped out of the room. When he was gone, Al-lāt turned to stare at the stars.
The place where she stood was her meditation chamber. There was nothing within it—nothing save the viewport that allowed her a glimpse of the world outside, of space. The sight beyond her eyes was beautiful. Billions of stars swirled around her vessel like a desert mosaic. She remembered admiring these stars on her planet for many years, but seeing them while floating through space was something else entirely.
Within the viewport, however, was another object aside from the stars. Mars. The planet where Gabrielle and her current suitor, the one who garnered her favor, lived. Several vessels orbited the planet, massive ships that she didn’t want to tangle with. The single ship that she’d brought with her did not have the firepower needed to fight off a fleet. It might not even be capable of defeating a single dreadnaught.
Jāhilīyahn vessels were not made for combat.
“I see that our esteemed elder brother has failed,” a voice said from above her.
She sighed. “How long do you plan on remaining hidden up there?”
“Sorry. I would have spoken up sooner, but listening to Ibn-Al Kalbi talk about the princess’s suitor made me intrigued.”
A dull thud behind her let Al-lāt know that her youngest brother had dropped to the floor. She didn’t turn around to face him, but she didn’t need to. While her youngest brother might have been playful and mischievous, he’d never betray her. It was only because of him that she was still alive to begin with.
“Do you plan on trying to go after Princess Gabrielle’s suitor yourself?” she asked.
“Naw,” he said, his voice still playful. “I’m not really interested in marrying anything that looks even remotely human. I’d much rather find a nice Jāhilīyahn girl to settle down with. Let my brother have the disgusting princess.”
While humanoids were often considered the most beautiful species in the galaxy, for certain species, such as Jāhilīyahns, they were the most hideous. Even Ibn-Al Kalbi had protested marrying her at first. Only his sense of duty and the knowledge that he could practice polygamy kept him from refusing.
“Is that so? Should I feel insulted?”
“Oh, no. You’re not human, Sis. Come on. Sure, you might look a little… weird, but you’re definitely Jāhilīyahn—no matter what those old bastards say.”
“Then what will you do, Manāf?”
“Hmm. I think I’ll test this suitor that my brother was talking about.” Even though she still hadn’t turned around, Al-lāt didn’t need to, to know that her brother was smiling. “I’m really curious to see that human’s power in action.”
“Then you may do as you please.”
“Thank you, Sis.”
Footsteps echoed behind her, the slow clacking of numerous legs. A hiss sounded out as the door slid open and then closed. Al-lāt took a deep breath as she was engulfed in silence.
Beyond the glasteel window, the stars continued to shine.

Everything about this series is well developed and well written. The only thing I would suggest is to age everyone to 18 because the situations are adult in nature.
Alex has become one of those characters with a hidden family secret. One that makes him so powerful it causes chaos and fear. Plus, Gabby seems fine with Alex having a harem, I just hope he isn't so against it like Kevin in American Kitsune
As nice story goes on, the main character (and the author) keep me entertained.
I continue to read looking to find what will happen next... Shenanigans... Shenanigans is what happens next... an ever growing troupe that eventually will come to a head... I kinda can't wait..
I was wondering how long it would take before someone pointed out to Alex about how dense he was acting. The guy is often his own worst obstacle. The story and characters were intriguing and engaging. I look forward to reading more about these characters and their further adventures. This book is definitely worth reading.
