Stanley NULL Oakes was content being a nameless cog in the great machine of retail drudgery, his only claim to fame a bureaucratic hiccup that made every database throw a hissy fit. But when the universe decides to go all blue-screen-of-death, Stanley finds himself rebooted into Arcadia—a realm where the laws of physics have been replaced by the rules of a cosmic game designer with a twisted sense of humor. Armed with a rusty sword, a fairy guide with a mouth like a sailor, and a sentient slime that's equal parts adorable and terrifying, Stanley must navigate this glitch in the Matrix. From fending off homicidal bunnies to haggling with rats, each absurd encounter forces Stanley to question whether he's finally lost his marbles or if reality was always this bonkers and he just hadn't noticed. Content Warning: Mild violence, profanity. Writing Style: Fast-paced narrative with a balance of humor and adventure. Expect witty dialogue, vivid world-building, and creative problem-solving scenarios. Updates: Will be away on vacation for a few weeks so uploads will be sporadic until I get back in October.
