Epic Fail: A Hero’s Journey in Five Mistakes

Once upon a prophecy, destiny had a plan. Unfortunately, destiny didn’t account for student debt, midlife crises, or heroes with the emotional range of a damp scone.

From chosen ones who’d rather binge true crime than save the realm, to overzealous amateurs convinced they’re the main character, this series drags the classic hero’s journey through every flaming hoop of magical nonsense—and then some.

In these five gloriously ill-advised quests, you’ll find:

— A reluctant Chosen One who literally breaks out in hives at the word “destiny.”
— An overeager self-appointed hero with more enthusiasm than skill.
— A mentor forced to clean up the world’s messes after the real hero gets eaten by prophecy.
— A middle-aged divorcee armed with sarcasm and a judgmental sword.
— A washed-up savior who peaked mid-quest and opened a bar instead of bringing back the elixir.

Because sometimes the real adventure isn’t about answering the call—it’s about hanging up, blocking the number, and living happily ever after anyway.

Epic Fail: This parody series is for anyone who suspects heroism is just a very elaborate mistake.
