Tess was hoping for some major life changes. Somehow, getting chosen by a god wasn't what she had in mind.
After going through her quarter-life crisis and quitting her job, Tess wasn't exactly sure what her future would hold. That only becomes doubly true when she's abruptly plucked from her life on Earth and whisked away to a new world.
With nothing but a somewhat cryptic blessing from a god, Tess will have to carve out a new life for herself in a land where magic, monsters, and character levels are all par for the course. Unfortunately, it doesn't help that dark forces are stirring, she's woefully unprepared, and spiders keep trying to turn her into dinner.
Follow Tess as she gets embroiled in the affairs of gods, embarking on a journey through blighted deadlands, bustling cities, and merciless dungeons.
