Dalex died, and his body was abducted by aliens. Resurrected halfway across the galaxy to do their grunt work, he finds himself commanding a starship with enough firepower to destroy a solar system, alongside a snarky android assistant. The habitable planets nearby are fantasy worlds — elves, beastmen, orcs, and dragons — overflowing with magical power. Unfortunately, the dragons are fascist authoritarians exterminating the elves and using native humans as their overseers, which ruins Dalex's image of the noble dragon entirely. With a post-singularity arsenal of weapons rebranded with fantasy-appropriate names, he intends to give those tyrannical wyrms the fight they deserve.
