Introduction: 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 goalsSchedule:* Until the end of [Book 1]: Every weekday (Monday-Friday)* After [Book 1]: Three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)...
