⭐ Comedy/Satire/Fantasy RISING STAR⭐ To save the princess and beat the game, he’ll have to do more than git gud… he’ll have to talk to women! THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY ON HIATUS AS OF 4/8/2026 Greg wasn’t always a Barbarian. Once upon a time, he was an IT Specialist Level III for the second largest B2B Internet Marketing firm in the lower southwest United States. Until his mistakes caught up with him. Life back on Earth wasn’t great for Greg. Divorced. Depressed. Chronically online. So, getting "isekai'd" was kind of a nothing burger. He didn't really know (or care) how (or why) he ended up in a video game world: the air was clean, the rent was free, and the booze was cheap.  What’s really weird is (wait, that’s not weird already?) this is a game Greg already knows. It’s one of those nerdy-ass Computer RPGs based on an old tabletop game he used to play. Exactly like the tabletop game he used to play… except, he and his friends had made it up. Hadn’t they? His own creation was now his prison. And he's about to find out he's not alone. Time to pick a class, roll the dice, skip the tutorial and never use any of your best items because what if you need them for later?? What to Expect: • Medium-crunchy LitRPG (classes, dice rolls, hit points, level progression, but System-lite) • Slow Burn "Overpowered MC" (he will get there, but he earns it the hard way and pays his dues) • Absurdist, satirical humor mixed with earnest, heartfelt fantasy adventure (think Robert Jordan meets Hunter S. Thompson, and they play Baldur’s Gate 3) • Shockingly foul language, to be completely honest with you • Traditional Fantasy Tropes: elfy elves, dwarfy dwarves, deep dark dungeons and gobs upon gobs of goblinoids • Satisfying action scenes mixed with strategic RPG combat elements • Just a lil’ bit of Romance: it’s not a focus, but it's an element • The unexpected 2500 - 3000 words per chapter on average, new chapters release every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Check out my Patreon for early access, cut content, artwork, behind-the-scenes shenanigans, and whatever else I can cook up. I'm taking requests.
