Overview: When I was little, I used to have dreams of making video games for a living. I didn’t have a console, but the games I played on my PC blew my mind as a kid. The advent of MMOs was especially exciting. So it was only natural I’d want a job that was somehow related to this amazing thing I loved. Unfortunately, I’ve since been forced to abandon that dream when I realized the harsh realities of how horrible the video game industry actually is. I still somehow ended up working as a programmer though, which I enjoy quite a bit. So it wasn’t all bad. I still game extensively in my free time, with RPGs (both single and multiplayer) being my favorite genre. I was introduced to LitRPG through a variety of translated Japanese light novels, which really struck a chord with me. I also tried reading classics like Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, but I didn’t have the patience for it. You can’t engage people if you spend upwards of ten pages on just describing a god-damned forest or whatever. When I eventually picked up writing as a hobby, I used my love of games to draw inspiration and my logical thinking as a programmer to stitch the various elements together. I’m a big fan of consistent and unambiguous mechanics, which I hope is evident in my work. I still consider writing to be a hobby rather than a profession. It brings me joy to create, and I’d rather not compromise that by tying my financial stability to it.

Binary Soul
So let’s say there’s this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn’t know the concept of ‘mercy’ or ‘holding back.’ Let’s say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let’s also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger – a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what’s the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It’s a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That’s just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It’s your loss if you mind it.
Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive disappointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out.
DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn’t reached that point.
