You venture forward through the grand portal previously locked behind intricate locks and traps. You're immediately met by a disconcerting world. Lightning strikes close to you and then again and again. The sky roars as an eternal thunderstorm dominates this realm. This world erupts with life as sounds of all sorts of beings or perhaps the land itself fills the air. A seemingly pristine landscape awaits you and a childish curiosity takes over your mind. This world is smooth sailing all across, but there are no direct threats you have to deal with. In the nearby proximity, you see bits and pieces of creatures stranger even than those of legends of old. Many of them keep their distance from you, you keep your guard up just to be safe. You can make out slithering creatures, fluffy creatures, and what you think might be flying creatures of some sort. With everything sorted you look around one more time as you set upon a world beyond your imagination. But, with a curious mind, a few back-up plans, and some scouting experience, you know you can charter this uncharted land. A massive fortress can be seen in the distance, atop a mountain with a dead forest around it, there doesn't appear to be any other buildings as far as the eye can see.

What is reality? I was John-now Charlie, a woman with a VR game tester's cunning and a professional whiskey enthusiast's attitude. But then AIs have risen, and my job evaporated faster than last night's drink. Just when I hit rock bottom, this punk kid-barely old enough to shave-dropped a bombshell: "Reality's just a simulation." Sure, buddy. I laughed it off. Until I woke up twenty years in the past. Now, thanks to a hacking mishap, I'm a regular girl in reality-with a debt and an attitude-navigating Rimelion, the VR game I once mastered, as Charlie, an elven priestess with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Seriously though, fighting in high heels? Will I claw my way up the nobility ladder? Dominate the rankings? Outwit the government and their plans to exploit us all? Maybe. But something's off. The game feels too real. My memories don't line up, and everyone has their own version of what's true. Simulation? Reality? The lines are a blur-and I'm stuck in the middle. If I want to stop a dystopian future, I'll need allies, both in-game and out. Oh, and avoid ticking off the AIs hunting me for bending the rules. Survival's a long shot-but I was never one to play fair anyway. *** What to expect: - Light LitRPG story with an emphasis on strategy and world-building - First-person perspective (and occasional close third POVs) - A witty protagonist with a conversational sarcastic, humorous and often self-deprecating voice - A sci-fi world with mysteries sprinkled with fantasy elements - A rich game world system with kingdoms, rules, exploits, and challenges - Supporting characters with personal goals Schedule: * Posting on RoyalRoad and Scribblehub, here after bulk is done
