The all-knowing Player

He stares at me from the side, his strong gaze adding weight to his words. He seems to want to add something else, but it doesn't come out. I direct my gaze towards the line of horizon hidden behind the unending hills of sand. We stay silent for a moment until I hear him move next to me.
"Come on." He stands up and holds his hand out for me to take. "Let's hunt."
I smile and accept it, relying on him to get back on my feet. A strange feeling rises in my stomach as soon as my hand finds its place in his. But it isn't unpleasant, on the contrary, so I grip his hand tighter. He lets me and, almost blinded by the sun, I believe to see a soft smile tug on his lips.

In which a reader of the manhwa Solo Leveling is reincarnated as a second player and, despite her efforts, gets involved into the storyline until there is no going back.
Added lore, added arcs.
Slow burn.

I do not own Solo Leveling and found the wallpaper on Pinterest, I only added the title.
