Let no one ever tell you it was the pharaohs that built the pyramids. It was the slaves. Greatness is achieved through suffering. Let pain be your offering. Chuck was left out of the singularity at the end of the Universe, and it just got stranger from there. The new world calls people like him a Remnant. He has no idea how to use his menus, and is being bullied by some particularly pushy goblin tweens. He's got an animal companion, but all the other Remnants are nowhere to be found. He's got a long way to climb, and the only thing he got to keep was his grandfather's sledgehammer and a willingness to take a hit. Something cries out within the system. Warnings of wool pulled over our eyes. Of a great cosmic prison that has entrapped all souls. Will you open the door? A mix of adventure, comedy, horror and a found family unraveling a cosmic mystery. Plus a talking crow.
