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...
