Synopsis

Las Vegas glitters with promises of fortune, but for Larry "Lucky" Lewis, it's a graveyard of lost hopes. A degenerate gambler with a permanent five o'clock shadow, Larry stumbles out of a rundown casino, a jackpot winner for the first time in his life. Unfortunately Fate seems to have a wicked sense of humor. A speeding truck has Larry questioning the cruel irony of it all as his world fades to black. But instead of pearly gates, Larry finds himself in a bizarre casino unlike anything he's ever seen. Here, Lady Luck isn't the ethereal youthful maiden of myth, but rather an older woman, seasoned by time and life’s unpredictable turns. Puffing on a cigarette and sizing him up with a twinkle in her eye. It turns out, Larry's jackpot wasn't just money, it was a one-way ticket to a fantastical world. Reborn as Fortuna's unlikely champion, Larry finds himself with a peculiar new goblin body and an interesting ability, the power to influence luck, both good and disastrously bad. With a hidden calling as Fortuna's Prophet Larry is thrust into a world of swords, sorcery, and… dwarven bartending? His first mission? secure a job at the local union hall, a boozy den run by a band of criminal dwarves who just happen to be devout Fortuna worshippers. Here, Larry will navigate the complexities of his new role, juggle his unpredictable luck, and maybe, just maybe, rewrite his story, one chaotic quest at a time.
