The city of Londinium is made up of several thousand people scraping out an existence in a man made cavern. With Earth’s surface uninhabitable, the sub-city relies on highly sophisticated life support machinery for their continued existence. Keeping all that machinery in working order is a difficult task, considering it’s been in place for close to a century. 

On one hand, Londinium has Tarriq to oversee the upkeep of the systems that make continued life possible. He’s a specialist when it comes to this. On the other hand, Tarriq is an ill-tempered misanthrope. If he could live a hermit’s life with his partner Meshani, he would in a heartbeat. But the sub-city desperately needs his unique skills.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Tarriq tries, the machinery needs more and more upkeep with each passing year. Multiple unexpected equipment failures have Tarriq running himself ragged. He can keep jury rigging the systems for only so long, as they really need to be replaced, and that job is entirely too big for just one person.

Hi, I'm Stoner, and I'll be your main character. To make a long story extremely short: I was a soldier, I got shot in the head, and then I woke up in a parallel world with magic and swords and all that. Standard plot for a big dumb isekai, if we're honest.

Except, it's not. I'm not a broody teenager with the personality of a cardboard cutout. I'm a broody grownup with a caffeine addiction and crippling depression, and instead of magic and swords, I get my trusty rifle.

An empty shell is all what is left of twenty-five-year-old Randall now. After his 
homophobic father found out he was gay, he had to learn to act someone else in order
to survive through the years of abuse and humiliation. Now he has forgotten the 
person he once was. He refuses to remember the person he was supposed to be.

Emotionally detached, and unable to create any kind of relationships, Randall's

work out, watch TV, and drink, with no way out of that dark, miserable corner 
he has built for himself.

When a gay bar opens doors in his neighborhood, the fragile balance he has created 
with himself is in danger of being destroyed when his true self is trying to break free.

And to make things worse, there is a new guy at his gym. A kind guy who has a nice 
voice and loves talking people's ears off. A guy who can see his suffering and is 
willing to do whatever it takes to help him. 

A guy who is making Randall feel once again.
