The Divine Receptionist
When Ace dies, he expects judgment, reincarnation, or at the very least some answers.
Instead, he gets a job.
Now employed by the mysterious Prayer Department, Ace spends his days reviewing prayers from mortals and deciding which requests deserve divine intervention. There's only one problem:
The gods are gone.
With no one left to approve prayers, the entire system has ground to a halt. Faced with an endless mountain of paperwork and no supervision, Ace decides to do what any reasonable person would do-answer the prayers himself.
Alongside an overly cheerful nan fairy named Bunny, a deadpan floating light named Earl, and a growing collection of increasingly bizarre coworkers, Ace navigates the strange bureaucracy of the Upper Realm. From lost pets and impossible wishes to fate-bound tragedies, dragon-related emergencies, dream shepherds trapped in nightmares, and departments dedicated to magic, monsters, and dungeon construction, every day brings a new disaster.
But as Ace explores the divine offices, strange mysteries begin to surface.
Why do certain souls recognize him?
What are the golden threads of fate connecting distant lives?
Why does the system keep charging him credits for everything?
And why does everyone become uncomfortable whenever the Front Desk is mentioned?
Equal parts fantasy adventure, workplace comedy, and cosmic mystery, The Divine Receptionist is the story of one ordinary man trying to do an impossible job in a universe that somehow runs on paperwork, prayers, and complete administrative chaos.
After all, if nobody else is answering the prayers...
Someone has to pick up the phone.j
