A Cosmic IT Glitch Just Sent Joe Leong to Viking Heaven. And He’s Not Even Viking.
Joe Leong was a software engineer, a workaholic caffeine addict, and-most importantly-alive. Until a misplaced semicolon in Heaven’s cosmic database resulted in a fatal system error: Soul Not Found.
Now, instead of debugging code in Singapore, he’s debugging the afterlife-which, as it turns out, is just one big celestial IT department plagued with bureaucratic nonsense, server crashes, and cross-realm compatibility issues. Worse? He’s been rerouted to Asgard due to “capacity issues” in Chinese Heaven.
Armed with nothing but his tech skills, sarcasm, and a desperate need to not spend eternity drinking mead with battle-happy Vikings, Joe embarks on a divine troubleshooting mission. His quest? Find a way back to the land of the living before the gods’ “customer service” sends his soul into a permanent 404 error.
Along the way, he teams up with a Russian ballerina with unfinished business, a yoga-influencer guru struck down by divine irony, and an overworked angel who may or may not be violating celestial labor laws. Together, they must outwit bureaucratic deities, hack Heaven’s soul-routing system, and dodge the terrifying alternative-because if Joe can’t fix this mess, there’s a rather persuasive guy with horns and a contract waiting for him…
