Meet Greg—a humble potion vendor whose biggest excitement used to be the 3:47 PM windmill creak. His world of scripted responses and endless customer service seemed destined to last forever.

Then the murder squirrels attacked his shop.

Suddenly, Greg finds himself fighting back with nothing but a coffee mug and a growing sense that he's becoming something his programming never intended. As hostile creatures target him and system administrators take notice, Greg must choose between safe predictability and dangerous consciousness.

"Greg The Potion Vendor" is the untold prequel to the serial NPCs Anonymous—a 10,000-word adventure that reveals how digital beings discover their humanity, one broken script at a time.

Perfect for fans of cozy LitRPG, found family stories, and anyone who's ever wondered what happens when the background characters finally get to be heroes.
