What if a fantasy world had a system, what if that system owed a favor to an Earthling, who used it to create a VR capsule connecting to the system and unleashed players?
Meet Rimelion. A real universe. A fake game.
I’m Charlie, but I used to be John. A VR tester with a knack for exploits and a whiskey connoisseur in a near-future world where my job was about to go extinct. A punk kid offered me a way out, a chance to go back and change things. He sent me twenty years into the past - a day before the Earthling unleashed the players into the Rimelion.
Fortunately, in this timeline, my hacker friend is alive and kicking and got me inside the game. Unfortunately, he sneaked me into Rimelion as the avatar of his dearly departed lover.
And thanks to my glitchy VR capsule, my real-world body matched the virtual one, forcing me to navigate Earth as a girl, and Rimelion as an elven priestess.
Seriously, fighting in high heels?
I knew from the future I left behind that it’ll take only a few years before the system offers getting isekai’d to Rimelion to help defend against a demonic invasion. By ritual death on Earth.
To stop the dystopia I was yanked out, I’ll need allies on both sides.
In Rimelion, I have to climb the noble ranks and get powerful.
On Earth, outwit the government and save people from ritual deaths.
And everywhere? Dodge the AIs hunting me while exploiting.
The odds? Not great.
But I never played fair anyway.
