"There are no heroes. In life, the monsters win."
...
In 2106, [Mayhem Online], a fully immersive VRMMO game, was released. Soon, it dominated the world's economy when people could exchange the in-game currency with real-life currency and vice versa.

In the year 2107, Flynn Grey, a 22-year-old college dropout with an ambiguous history, joined in the fray of billions of people that had already started playing [Mayhem]. Hoping to uncover the game's secret and earn a fortune, he spent months on adventures without fruitful results.

For better or worse, Shura, Flynn's in-game character, ends up in a great Wyvern's den, acquiring a hidden class and a monstrous race. Join him as he defeats his past and paves his way into becoming a true legend in both worlds.

//DreamNote//

This story features an unstable protagonist due to his mysterious past. He's not evil, not righteous either, and would do anything he feels like doing. 

Character development is a big part of the novel, so if the Protagonist seems annoying and idiotic at the start, bear with it as it gets better. His character and everything else is explained. 

This story will feature his real and game life, although, for most parts, the focus would be on the game world.

He doesn't start as a monster protagonist from the get-go. It'll be shown in the story how and why he turns into a monster in the game [Chapter no. 20-35]. 

The story's pacing would depend on the arcs, but I'll try to keep it at the fast-mediums.

This story WILL have a harem, but the focus would be on the character-building more than the romance. Romance is going to form later and will be slow-paced.

MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

"Let me formally introduce you to one of our brightest generals. She's General Elexis, one of the best generals I've ever seen."

Tobias introduced the aqua-haired beauty standing in front of me. I mean, I didn't really need an introduction. There was practically nobody who knew Mayhem wouldn't know this mature beauty.

She was one of the most popular players in Mayhem.

'And also someone who doesn't brag.'

Most of the top rankers had a habit of appearing on TV and bragging about their abilities and resources unconsciously, it was preinstalled in them somehow. But Elexis was one of the rare breeds who, even though she occasionally took on interviews and such, never bragged about anything or accepted any sponsorships.

"General Elexis, this is Earl Shura. He is a man of great honour and virtue. Also, he's a legend's heir."

Tobias said, introducing us to each other.

"I am aware of…Earl Shura, your majesty."
