LOTM: I'm really not an Evil God! Why doesn't anyone believe me!?

After a car accident, Theodore awakens in what he believes is an advanced government simulation—a digital prison designed to test human psychology. The "game world" seems to be some kind of fantasy setting with gods, mysticism, and ancient languages that he somehow understands perfectly. Trapped in a dark realm called "the Abyss," Theodore does what any reasonable person would do: make the best of his situation. When desperate, terrified people begin stumbling through mysterious portals into his domain, he offers them tea, introduces them to board games, and provides a safe haven from whatever horrors they're fleeing. What Theodore doesn't realize is that he's not in a simulation at all—he's in the Second Epoch of a very real mystical world, an era when Ancient Gods still walk the earth and cosmic horrors lurk beyond the veil of reality. More importantly, he doesn't realize that he might be the most terrifying thing in this realm... if only he would stop being so genuinely hospitable. As Ancient Gods, mystical beings, and powerful entities find themselves inexplicably drawn to his sanctuary, Theodore remains blissfully unaware that his "glitched NPC behavior" is actually reality-warping power beyond mortal comprehension. He just wants some friends to play cards with while waiting for the "experiment" to end. But in a world where knowledge itself can drive one mad and power corrupts absolutely, perhaps the most dangerous thing of all is a cosmic entity who refuses to act like one. A slice-of-life cosmic horror comedy about misunderstandings, friendship, and the power of genuine kindness in a world that has forgotten what it means. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Note: I do not own Lord of the Mysteries.
