A wish come true for many a geek, if only he hadn't died less than a day after he arrived. Now trapped in this fantasy realms version of purgatory, he faces the prospect of trying to navigate a new existence as a dungeon.

It is heralded as a masterpiece of the existential literature genre because of how it demands the reader to accept the absurdity of the world just as it is.
