Everyone knows how hard the life of a ruler is. Which one? Yes, anyone! King, czar, emperor, and even the leader of a tribe - the problems are the same. One day, Emperor Jared Thirteenth, the rightful ruler of the Assarsh demon empire, learned that the deity whom his restless subjects had worshiped for the last few millennia had decided to transfer power to a successor. It turns out that this also happens to the gods... who would have thought? Moreover, the old man has already even sent a request and now from day to day he is waiting for the one who will replace him as the supreme deity of Assarsh. Meanwhile, life goes on as usual: his subjects weave intrigues, their wives demand new jewelry, and their beloved eldest daughter demands a groom. It’s good that there are almost no problems with the sons: they are fighting quietly and okay. But who will the new deity be for him, Jared? Helper and support or another problem? And what kind of strange name is this - Mortimer..? The main character is a favorite of many - the charming deity Morty, familiar to readers from the books "The Mystery of Apple Grove Castle" and "Last Chance Academy".
