Rise of the Gutter Lord

To the elite, he's a "Gutter Rat." To the law, he's a mistake. But after a series of clumsy accidents during a high-security prison break, the world sees something else: a terrifying mastermind.

Now, the most dangerous criminals and underground personalities in the city of Lagas are swearing fealty to a man who just wants to find a quiet corner to eat noodles. Surrounded by devotees who mistake his panic for "strategic restraint" and chroniclers who rewrite his cowardice as "legendary wisdom," Uan is propelled into the seat of power as a Puno crime lord.

He has no magic. He has no plan. But as the world's superpowers prepare for war, the "Gutter Lord" must play the part-or become the first victim of his own myth.
