Pertence à sérieHouse of Dolls (1)
Hate your job.Win the lottery.Get a superpower. Roman Martin is a normal guy until he happens upon a winning lottery ticket that grants him an incredible superpower.Unfortunately, Roman has to keep his new power a secret, and in a society that separates superpowereds from half-powereds, that's a big deal. There's also his troubled past, a dark secret that constantly looms over him, his co-worker's mysterious death, and the fact that Roman is being blackmailed by two beautiful female spies at war with one another.So Roman does what any down-on-his-luck partially exploited office worker would do in his situation: get women, get good, and get ready to fight back.Warning: House of Dolls contains a harem and other polyamorous situations, toxic cat girls, superpowers used in ways they weren't intended to be used, cosplay, fantasy violence, office humor, dark themes, and other trigger-worthy adult situations. It was inspired by Office Space, the anime High School DxD, Drew Hayes' Super Powereds, and The Americans. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
