Octavian, a promising graduate student of magic, is about to have his dreams shattered. As he activates his magical robot, Replika, the duo finds themselves thrust into an alternate reality of stuck doors and steam-powered tech. Little did Octavian know that his enigmatic research advisor, Teacher, held the technology to traverse realities! Octavian and Replika embark on a quest to uncover Teacher’s hidden secrets and find their way back home.
Join Replika and Octavian as they journey through immersive universes that will make you laugh out loud. Amidst their adventures, they encounter a vibrant case of characters and stumble upon more than their fair share of OPP (other people’s problems). Will they ever find their way back home, or will they remain trapped forever in this web of alternate realities?
The Tales of a Vernian Youth series beckons you into a multiverse brimming with enchantment and absurdity.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Amazing imagination “Loved the characters. Octavian is not typical and quite refreshing. Can I be Replika in my next life?! Who do I need to speak to?”

Thoroughly crafted world, rich (and quirky) dialogue, the vision and craftmanship are on point. I believe Gaius must have some magic truly, because this story has cast a spell on me. Standing ovation! Quick, don’t be stuck in a universe where you haven’t read this… !”
