Scales to Scrolls: Chronicles of the ArcGate Empire - When magic meets red tape, chaos is the only constant

About the Book

In the wake of the Great Arcane Market Collapse, a group of unemployed idealists attempt to bring order to the most bureaucratically complex magical realm ever imagined.

Follow Reginald P. Grubthorpe and his unlikely team as they build ArcGate Omnilogix—a software company that starts by managing wyvern pilot certifications and ends up handling everything from dragon egg import/export to necromantic civil remnants disposal.

Written in the tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, this comedic fantasy chronicles the rise of a bureaucratic empire built on chaos, overconfidence, and the sort of optimistic ignorance that makes both great discoveries and spectacular disasters possible.

From courier services to necromantic disposal, watch complexity spiral hilariously out of control.

📜 Bureaucratic Comedy

Where every form filed creates seventeen new forms, and efficiency is the enemy of tradition.

✨ Memorable Characters

A cast of elves, halflings, and humans navigating the treacherous waters of magical administration.
