Clipboard of Compliance: The Bureaucrat's Guide to Dungeon Survival

By M Kelly

In a world where monsters are processed and dungeons are audited, Arthur Penwick is the last person anyone expected to survive.

Arthur was an Assistant Sub-Compliance Review Officer. His life was forms, filing, and the quiet suffering of knowing where the spare toner cartridges were kept. He died the most bureaucratic death imaginable: slipping on a wet floor because someone had placed the warning sign incorrectly.

But death wasn't the end. The System, a cosmic bureaucracy that governs the world of Valdren, plucked Arthur from the void and dropped him into a dungeon full of exploding rats. His reward for surviving? A clipboard. And a subclass that made everyone laugh.

Compliance Officer.

In a world of warriors and mages, Arthur has the ability to report infractions and enforce rules. It's useless. It's absurd. It's the only thing that might save them all.

Because the dungeons aren't natural. The monsters are malfunctioning. And somewhere in the heart of the Cradle of Rust, a crime has been committed-a crime that only a Compliance Officer can solve.

Survive. Adapt. Contribute.

And don't forget to file the paperwork.
