Glusiverse

Far away, in the GLUSIVERSE, the hero GLUSI-GLUSI has a problem: his teacher GLUSEI is dying from a disease with only one cure, and finding that cure requires entering the GLUSIVERSE in search of seven specific ingredients and the recipe that makes them useful. Set against the backdrop of a collapsed interplanetary economic system in space year 6126 — which has sent the entire galaxy into panic — GLUSI-GLUSI sets out on a mission that is personal rather than grand, and exactly as strange as the world it takes place in.
