Description

These alien d-bags messed with the wrong girl!

My Ford was destroyed, and me along with it, when a semi truck smashed into it.  These aliens - the Deifics as they are called - reconstructed me.  But not for some beneficent reason.  No, they put me back together to compete inThe Galactic Game.The object:  be the first to reach The Tower.Yeah, I have to battle aliens from dozens of different worlds scattered throughout the universe.   Turns out that humans are on the low end of evolutionary scale and none usually survive for more than a few days.  But I am no ordinary human it turns out.  While most competitors are granted only one or twoTalents- superpowers - to help them compete, I have the potential (yeah, I hate that word too) to have an unlimited number ofTalents.  The only downside is that I have to kill other competitors in order to gain theirTalents.  But I am not a killer.  If they leave me alone, they have nothing to fear from me.    But if they do come after me, they are gonna learn not to mess with a girl from New York.

Warning!I like to swear and I like to say things that you really aren't supposed to say anymore.  If you are sensitive and easily offendedyou shoulddefinitelyread my story.  Maybe it will toughen you up!

    This isn't a vintage red & canapés kind of story.  It's a Pabst Blue Ribbon & extra spicy hot wings kind of story.  Read it that way, and you just might like it.  It keeps me laughing.  A lot.
    Snarky, smart, fun MC with a jumbo-sized Wally-world shopping cart full of zany & possibly dubious life experiences to draw on for umm... guidance (?).  ✅
    Completely messed up isekai game world with  Calvinball rules & obnoxious galaxy-wide spectators & sponsors & announcer?  ✅
    Fun side characters who annoy the MC as much as they help her?  ✅
    Fast-paced action including tons of idiot & asshole enemies for the MC to take down in entertaining & suitably brutal ways?  ✅
    Shopping trips to big box stores that seem remarkably real-world?  ✅
    Great fun if you're looking for a gonzo over-the-top murderhobo comedy.
