Synopsis
Felix Chandler, a reclusive misanthrope and obsessive hoarder, finds himself unexpectedly transported to another universe after a tower of his own "collectibles" - okay, let’s call it what it is, garbage - collapses on him.
Bureaucracy, technicalities, negotiations, and a dash of petty larceny ensue, culminating in Felix acquiring the ultimate ability every hoarder dreams of: Inventory.
The problem? Well, Felix has also managed to get himself cursed by an angry god/bureaucrat. Oh, and he’s been transported to a fantasy world that's hell-bent on ending his existence. This includes an Abbot/Religious Zealot leading a group of militant evangelizing ascetic monks. And, despite all recommendations to the contrary, Felix chose only inventory-related skills...
To survive, Felix must rely on his ingenuity, devious cunning, and a whole lot of dumb luck. He may even be forced into his ultimate challenge: making friends...

Author's Note:
This is an absurdist blend of sci-fi, fantasy, litRPG, satire, and social commentary. It's also my first post ever on this site. I hope you enjoy it!
Update Frequency: In terms of frequency of posting, I'll try to post one chapter a week on or before each Wednesday, so please periodically check back in!
Quick clarification on AI usage: This story says its AI-assisted. Honestly, almost none of this is directly or indirectly generated or edited by AI. I did, however, constantly copy paste it into an AI chat for general feedback - mostly to have it validate my otherwise meaningless existence with shallow praise... Since I did end up using one or two of its suggestions (especially for the synopsis) I clicked the box. Just wanted to share that tidbit. Oh, also the draft cover is AI generated. Sorry about that. I'll eventually hire an artist to do a proper one, I promise.
