Arthur Wordsmith writes as if myths still breathe beside us, blending ancient lore with the immediacy of modern life. A Canadian author who first built his audience on Royal Road, he introduced readers to Theos, a series where an ordinary office worker awakens in a realm of gods, monsters, and divine games. It started as daily chapters on a web‑fiction platform, but its raw, serialized energy carried over into published novels, with Becoming a God Made Easy debuting in 2023 through Podium Publishing and The Games of Olympus following in 2024.

Theos

When an ordinary commuter wakes up in the realm of gods, survival means more than strength, it means understanding the rules of divinity itself. In Theos, the fall of a mortal life becomes the first step toward something far more dangerous: ascension.

This myth-infused progression fantasy combines the methodical structure of cultivation and LitRPG storytelling with the unpredictability of ancient pantheons. Luke, armed with nothing but a mysterious God Seed and a will to endure, is thrust into a realm where deities plot in shadow, tournaments decide fates, and power always comes at a cost. The story moves from quiet moments of reflection to sweeping clashes of immortal ambition, each choice reshaping Luke’s path between humanity and godhood.
