The Adventures of Dante

by Narrador X

AI — cover

Dante was once the Architect of Ruins, creator of gods, worlds, and impossible disasters. Then he pressed DELETE. Now he lives in a cramped Brazilian apartment with a fallen Zeus, a French aesthete at war with polyester, overdue bills, public transport, Excel, and a job in freight logistics. As divine bureaucracy collides with hot asphalt, labor law, cheap coffee, and a dangerously wobbly kitchen table, Dante discovers that omnipotence was easy. Real life is harder. The Adventures of Dante is a satirical novella about fallen gods, ordinary work, absurd systems, and the strange dignity of surviving them all.
