Keeper of the Infinite Archive [Volume 1 Complete]

Rising ★  Dive in front of a bus to save a person? Cliché. Dive in front of a bus to save a book? You're hired. Bart Sanders wakes up as Keeper #4,092 of the Infinite Archive... once the greatest library in existence, now a ruined collection floating at the edge of reality. The good news? He’s finally been promoted. The bad news? His new library is missing almost everything. As Bart recovers lost holdings and restores the Archive, new sections reopen, new Administrative Rights become available, and the library’s forgotten powers begin to return. Cataloguing becomes magic, Citations have authority, Overdue notices can have consequences for an entire kingdom. His staff currently consists of a skeleton with a broom, an illiterate thief with strong opinions about sandwiches, and a floating book that predicts doom. His patrons include liches searching for pastry recipes, narcissistic kings who refuse to return their books, and creatures whose reading privileges probably should have been revoked several centuries ago. But rebuilding the Archive is uncovering something much older than unpaid fines. The previous Keeper sealed away parts of the library before reality broke and someone is still trying to keep them closed. And buried beneath the ruined shelves is the question Bart really needs answered: What happened to Keeper #4,091 and why was the Infinite Archive destroyed? Restore the Archive. Recover its lost holdings. Unlock new Administrative Rights. And whatever you do, follow library policy. An absurd comedic LitRPG / Progression Fantasy about rebuilding the multiverse’s most broken library, one lost book, impossible patron, and administrative disaster at a time.
