“The world is a flaw and we will correct it.” Those are the words an ancient cosmic entity spoke to Siurad. So far, its main concerns are his posture, and the structural failings of trees. Siurad is just worried about his Jays. Living a normal life as a bouncer from Chicago, his world was turned upside down when he was yanked out of his apartment mid-raid and dropped into a brutal fantasy world, bound to a cosmic entity trapped in a ring of obsidian. It calls itself the will that binds the vector between first motion and last stillness. Siurad calls it Obi, because it's a ring and that's faster. Obi did not appreciate this. Obi has a plan: rebuild the empire that betrayed it, correct every flaw in a chaotic universe, and pave anything that offends it (currently nature). Siurad has a different plan, mostly involving french toast and bacon. Only one of them gets a vote, and it isn't the one with the body. The trouble is, out here, correcting flaws has consequences, and it comes a lot easier to Siurad than he wants it to. Stranded with a kleptomaniac rogue, a terrified priest, and a massive shadow wolf (who is a very good boy), Siurad realizes correcting the world ain't easy, but somebody has to do it. And somewhere between the bodies, the bargains, and the voice in his head praising his “improvement,” Siurad has to ask the question every sensible man avoids: What if the monster is right? The world is a flaw. We will correct it. Obi means every word. Siurad is starting to worry that he might, too.
