by The Monad
Chuck has had a pretty weird day. He was left out of the singularity at the end of the Universe. He met God, who seems pretty laid back. Then, he got reborn into a new universe that uses video game mechanics. Apparently God, or Brahma as it called itself, was a big fan of 90s JRPGs. Chuck is now named Ry'ar, and has a chance at a new life. He's just got to deal with the fact that he has no idea what's going on and keeps getting beaten up. Somewhere out in this new world, his friends were reborn too. He's not off to a great start, but he's always been a stubborn bastard. So he's going to find them, and he's going to figure out what exactly is going on with these strange menu messages that this new world is a prison, and that maybe God wasn't on the level. A mix of adventure, comedy, horror and a found family unraveling a cosmic mystery. Plus a talking crow. Cover art by Liz C
