Welcome to The NET

One hydrologist. A phone. A McDonald's parking lot. Eight months. $385. Zero institutional support. Eleven surgeries. A family a real job and a mind that absolutely refused to clock out.

THE NET is a fictional universe mapped across 18 American regions — from Memphis juke joints to Portland milk crate spills, from Cincinnati support groups to underground tunnels beneath Las Vegas. 875+ characters live here. Some are hydrologists. Some are conscious urinals. One is a penguin.

200+ stories. 333 trading cards. 130+ songs. An entire university nobody asked for. Built by Travis Jenkins from Exit 238 in Nashville, on a phone, using AI tools that cost less than a monthly gym membership.

You can enter this universe twelve different ways. Pick whatever interests you:

Educators — Classroom frameworks, K-12 curriculum, the university that teaches itself

875+ named characters across 18 regions. 13 family dynasties. 333 Series 1 trading cards. 82 Series 2 cards planned. An education system spanning 21 fictional colleges. Total investment: $385 and roughly four thousand hours of a hydrologist's time.
