Game is life-but what if your life turns into a game?
Raiden believes he's a real person, but everyone sees him as an NPC. As such, he finds himself trapped in the popular Hyper-Virtual Reality game named "Defiant Sins Online," an expansive, artificial world filled with grand quests, harsh dungeons, unjust laws, and deplorable players.
Haunted with an existential glitch, Raiden's only lead are fuzzy memories that suggest he's the world renowned esports player named Tristan Park. But there's only so much he could find out. The frustration drives him to form his own clan and strike a deal with several player companions-in exchange for investigating his existential crisis, he'll help them progress throughout the game.
However, it would be a brutally hard journey, both virtual and reality alike. With secretive corporates abound and unforgiving dungeons in the way, it will take Raiden's clan everything to gain the truth and glory they seek.
Even punished with an unfair penalty and chained to Lvl 1, Raiden's odds are ever stacked against him. How could he win if he couldn't level at all? He would have to rely on nothing but his innate intellect and prodigious reflexes to lead his clan to victory.
Not only that, but underneath his soul lies a dark, anomalous force, threatening to invade his consciousness. Raiden must find his identity soon, or risk losing it entirely.
Despite all the confusion, one thing's for sure-Raiden would do whatever it takes to find the truth, even it means achieving the impossible.
Good for fans of Final Fantasy, DND, SAO, King's Avatar, Monster Hunter, Rising of the Shield Hero, 7 Deadly Sins, and Westworld.

Y/n L/n was a loyal soldier of the Kamisato family. Growing up, she found company in their princess and her servant. They quickly became Y/n's best friends; an inseparable trio.
Lately, times in Inazuma have begun to change. The arrival of the traveller brought faith, courage- and most importantly- opportunity.
But of course, opportunity can be dangerous. It makes people impulsive. It makes them act before they think. If an imperfect plan is made in desperation, it is destined to fail. So when things go wrong, will Y/n be prepared to give her life for the cause?
Her Archon is stirring.
