Synopsis
The apocalypse has a laugh track. You know what’s worse than getting abducted by aliens on Halloween night? Getting stuck with a sarcastic, battle-hungry dog who suddenly learned to talk. And you know what’s worse than that? Being tossed into the PRIX GAMES—a galaxy-wide, televised death match where survival is optional and entertainment is mandatory. Join eight-year-old Roxy and her newly sentient canine companion, Muffin, as they chainsaw, claw, and snark their way through the Infinite Death Gauntlet—six insane game levels crawling with murderous aliens, bounty hunters, and products so dangerous they come with their own death waivers. It’s a LitRPG dungeon crawl on steroids. Weapon swaps that turn your chainsaw into a kazoo. Allies like Dar Thevader, a discount Darth Vader, and Unda Wada, a resistance fighter who battles in a shark costume. And the horrifying truth: the Game isn’t just killing players—it’s harvesting their souls. Welcome, Contestant. Welcome to the Gauntlet. Survival is optional. Making the galaxy laugh is not.
