Earth Syndicate Series · LitRPG Fiction

The Cosmic Handyman

The universe needed a handyman. It picked a 57-year-old janitor from Mesa, Arizona — and handed him admin access to a broken planet.

About the Earth Syndicate Series

The Cosmic Handyman follows Artie Vance — career janitor turned System Administrator of Earth — as a galactic Megacorporation attempts to foreclose on the entire planet. Three books of LitRPG fiction where maintenance is the power, the broom is the weapon, and every work order is bigger than the last. Part of the Earth Syndicate series.

The Cosmic Handyman Book 1
Book 1 · Earth Syndicate
The Cosmic Handyman
Earth hasn't been invaded by monsters — it's been foreclosed on. A 57-year-old janitor assigned [Master Custodian] sets out to patch the very fabric of reality with a push broom and analog duct tape. The Megacorp gave Earth a 90-day eviction notice. They missed a spot.
The Cosmic Handyman Book 2
Book 2 · Earth Syndicate
The Cosmic Handyman
The system tried to erase Earth. It forgot one thing: maintenance. Now Artie has admin access to a broken planet held together with grit — and the Megacorporation just arrived. Not with armies. With auditors, contracts, and legal claims on the entire world.
The Cosmic Handyman Book 3
Book 3 · Earth Syndicate
The Cosmic Handyman
CRITICAL SYSTEM UPDATE: PLANETARY SCOPE UNLOCKED. Artie Vance — System Administrator of Earth, 4,692 open tickets, hostile Megacorp on hold. Now the signals are coming. Other survivors didn't wait for permission. They started fixing the world anyway.

All three volumes available on Amazon — Kindle & Paperback editions.

Earth Syndicate · Trilogy II
New Orleans · LitRPG Fiction

The Substrate Plumber

Meanwhile, in New Orleans... A second janitor. A flooded city. The same broken planet — and a connection no one sees coming until it's too late to miss.

About The Substrate Plumber Trilogy

Running in parallel to The Cosmic Handyman — but 1,500 miles southeast beneath New Orleans. When the Megacorp's integration conduits rupture through the city's aging water mains, veteran municipal plumber Mack Higgins handles it the only way he knows how: seal the pipe. Raw mana and corrupted System script are just volatile fluids leaking from burst data-mains. The two storylines run side-by-side across three books, the connection between them invisible — until day 53, when everything converges.

The Substrate Plumber — High Pressure
Book 1 · The Substrate Plumber
High Pressure
Day 1. Knee-deep in a flooded pumping station when the Megacorp's conduits blow through the water mains. The drones aren't monsters — they're automated hazard-relief valves. Mack seals the data-main feeding them. Class assigned: [Master Plumber]. The pipe wrench is now registered analog equipment. Seal the pipe. That's the whole job.
Coming Soon
The Substrate Plumber — The Drainage Basin
Book 2 · The Substrate Plumber
The Drainage Basin
The Gulf Coast is sinking. Mack's safe zone holds — but the high water table is drowning the System substrate. The Megacorp's failing infrastructure is literally sinking into the swamp. Class evolves to [Conduit Plumber]: lay a bootleg bypass pipeline or watch the parishes go under.
Coming Soon
Book 3 Cross-Connection
Book 3 · The Substrate Plumber
Cross-Connection
Day 53. The Megacorp's System Dredge is overwriting New Orleans. Armed with cascade dependency maps from the Gary Archive, Mack performs a Cross-Connection — routing the offensive data stream back into its own hazard system. Class finalised: [The Substrate Plumber].

Books 2 & 3 in active development — follow for release updates.
