“Demonologist” is a fantasy novel by Yan Badevsky, the first book in the eponymous cycle, genre: reincarnations/time slips, combat fantasy, alternative history. I served the god of death and destruction—and then I died. I was transferred to a world where clans and aristocratic families rule, people have superpowers, and demons have learned to possess just about everything. I ended up in the body of a seventeen-year-old teenager, Ilya Nevzorov—utterly lacking the Gift and unable to use prana. They bully me and despise me. I have no chance to rise. And I would probably crush everyone—every single one of them—except… I woke up in a filthy alley with no clothes, and my hands were nailed to a cross. Across from me—degenerates with a nail gun, a knife, and a baseball bat. Wait, what?!
