About Orconomics
In a world where heroism has been commodified and adventures are corporate-sponsored, retired orc-slayer Gorm must take one last quest to pay off his crushing debt. Pike delivers brilliant satire that skewers both fantasy tropes and modern capitalism through the lens of a fantasy world operating like a ruthless economy. A indie success that perfectly parodies RPG mechanics and corporate culture, this novel explores themes of economic inequality, the gig economy, and what happens when heroism becomes just another business while delivering laugh-out-loud comedy and surprisingly thoughtful social commentary.
