"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

For the last 10 hours, all Shura did was continuously grind by killing monsters and gearing up. At some point, he realised that if he wanted to achieve something without dying and without anyone by his side, he'd have to use his alchemy and cook up some potions and stuff.

He collected a lot of rare minerals, herbs and plants and started to do alchemy on them, shocking the audience watching him.

"Since when was alchemy so easy and OP?"

The mouth of the audience was agape as they couldn't believe their eyes.  A guy with so much power and a legendary class also had a side hustle as an alchemist.

Not to mention that it barely took him minutes to finish refining things and cooking up potions.

And the chances of failure were close to none.

The whole of the audience consisted of at least 80-90% players, and some of them were alchemists too.
