In the shadowy corridors of an ancient library, janitor Mister Bhansal discovers that not all messes are of this world. When a sarcastic, magical cat summons him to investigate a “thing” in the cleaning closet, his quiet routine takes a sharp turn into the fantastical.
What he finds is no ordinary intruder—a nervous, goblin-like creature cursed to be perpetually clean. Nicknamed “Sterilizing Fluid,” the goblin’s tragic backstory and unique affliction set the stage for an unexpected alliance.
But the library hides more secrets than either of them bargained for. Beneath its floors lies a portal to another dimension, a chaotic rift oozing red slime and eldritch menace.
A frantic academic guards the glowing gateway, desperate to stop the malevolent force spilling through. He’s made a grave mistake, and his failure could doom them all.
As the portal grows unstable, Mister Bhansal and Sterilizing Fluid must confront their own doubts. Can a humble janitor and a cursed goblin rise to the challenge of saving the library—and possibly the world?
The stakes are higher than ever when the janitor learns his companion, the magical cat, has been kicked through the portal and is now fighting for its life in its true, cosmic form.
With time running out, the goblin’s curse becomes their greatest weapon against the advancing slime. Can the power of perpetual cleanliness push back a monstrous enemy?
Each step closer to victory risks everything; their lives, the portal’s collapse, and the secrets of the dimension it guards.
Packed with action, wit, and heart, this tale of unlikely heroes will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
Perfect for fans of magical misfits, eldritch horror, and humorous fantasy, this story proves that even the smallest among us can leave the biggest mark.
