Ludo Brax just wanted a gig. Now he’s a messiah, a criminal, and a System error. Ludo is an unremarkable freelancer in a galaxy governed by apps, metrics, and algorithms. A routine gig with MegaTech™ places him inside a flawless virtual utopia designed to anticipate desire, eliminate struggle, and give him exactly the life he's supposed to want. The System works perfectly. Ludo does not. Given comfort, fulfillment, and a future tailored to him, the fit could not be more exact. Nothing is missing. Something is wrong. Before he can even figure out how to tie his toga, he becomes a destabilizing force. Worship follows. Cult factions form. Oversight tightens. A revolution begins with him at its center. As the simulation starts to crack, deeper truths surface. The rules were written for a reason that no longer applies. Someone is still maintaining the System, adjusting outcomes, and waiting. Dragged from gig worker to prophet to public enemy, Ludo is forced forward into a conflict that was never meant to be visible. Funny on the surface. Unstable underneath. What to expect: Absurdist comedic sci-fi with an unreliable narrator, a System he never agreed to, and corporate dystopia played for laughs. Think Hitchhiker's Guide with LitRPG furniture. Progression is slow and mostly accidental. Posting Schedule: Book 2 coming soon. Details to come
