    Summary

    Dying to a work-related accident is one thing, but waking up as an "Iterator" inside a massive box is another.

    Now I need to somehow adopt and cope with my new existence while preserving what little sanity I have left. At least being a giant super computer gives me all the time and brain power I need to solve all of my problems…somewhat.

    Like keeping those damn zealots at arm’s length and figuring out how to get out of his damn box.

    First order of business, don't die a second time and to not cause too much psychological damage to myself.

    Easier said than done. For one of them at least.

    Summary

    He thought he was above it all—the Cycle, that mortal strife. That he would never truly know the pain of his creators, only that which was unique to his own kind. Cursed with godly privilege, a life that would not yield before he had solved the unsolvable or eroded into dust.

    It was not a relief to be proven wrong.

    ~

    Pebbles gets Cycled. Faced with the inevitability of his death and rebirth, he forges a new path.

    Far in the future, a lone courier grapples with an impossible mission.

    What if Rain World was real? Well, this'll answer that question. If... somewhat.

    Summary

    Slugcats, even extraordinary ones, are ill-suited to heroism. They are small, squishy, and generally very vulnerable to the dangers of the world, but they have little choice but to buckle up and attempt some heroics all the same, because no one else is going to do it for them.

    Eight of these fine creatures have set out on a journey to meet with a vast machine-intellect known as an Iterator, and along the way they will have to navigate perilous terrain, contend with a well-armed and organized clan of scavengers, and face down a vulture king of considerably above-standard intellect.

    Which is to say, it's a fairly standard trip through the grounds of an Iterator. Now if they can just make it to them before they collapse...
