ββThe world is a flaw and we will correct it.β βThose are the words an ancient cosmic entity spoke to Siurad. So far, its main concerns are his posture, and the structural failings of trees. βSiurad is just worried about his Jays. βLiving 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. βIt calls itself the will that binds the vector between first motion and last stillness. βSiurad calls it Obi, because it's a ring and that's faster. Obi did not appreciate this. βObi 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. βOnly one of them gets a vote, and it isn't the one with the body. βThe trouble is, out here, correcting flaws has consequences, and it comes a lot easier to Siurad than he wants it to. βStranded 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. βAnd somewhere between the bodies, the bargains, and the voice in his head praising his βimprovement,β Siurad has to ask the question every sensible man avoids: βWhat if the monster is right? βThe world is a flaw. We will correct it. βObi means every word. Siurad is starting to worry that he might, too. βWhat to expect: βReluctant Isekai MC Moral slide βSlow Burn βGrimdark world with gallows humorβ Sarcastic banter
