✶ Somehow I Got Lost Along the Way ✶ A Side Quest from the Pocket Universe of the Great Game This isn't the main storyline. This is the secret passage. The detour you weren't supposed to find. The cosmic margin notes that refused to stay quiet. Somehow I Got Lost Along the Way is a collection of reflections, dialogues, confessions, and tangled myth-fragments from the Pocket Universe of the Great Game-the same vast, layered world explored in the Gate of Aesir series. Here, the rules of the Game twist. Gods trade bets on mortal choices. Emotion itself becomes currency. And storytelling isn't entertainment-it's strategy. These pages are for readers who want to go deeper. Who want to see behind the curtain of the Great Game. Who crave side quests that don't just flesh out the world, but reveal its teeth. Inside you'll find: ✶ Lore fragments and personal notes from characters who refuse to behave ✶ Tangents that become maps to hidden places in the Aesir universe ✶ Reflections on myth, memory, and why power always has a price ✶ Strange epiphanies, cosmic jokes, and scars that didn't heal quite right This is for readers of the Gate of Aesir series who asked "but what about...?" For those who want to linger in the liminal spaces of the Game. For anyone who knows that sometimes the best stories aren't on the main path-they're scribbled on the side of the map. Welcome to the Pocket Universe. Mind the edges. They're sharp.
