Until Dusk Protocol
At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all?
That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins...
Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons.
As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

Very good story. Keep it up. Also I like how all the foreshadowing you did in the earlier chapters are finally brought up. Sometimes I see authors forgetting their own plot.
Amazing book! Can't wait for more chapters. .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....
Came here from the discord server. I was bored enough to try and check it out. Glad I did. How you describe the environment so clearly makes it so much easier for me to visualise each scene. I also like how the story is slowly taking a darker turn as the MC slowly finds out about her past. Overall, great book.
Very creative with the plot and the switched between narration makes it kinda unique. I always enjoy reading video games genre.
The story is amazing. I love this novel. Following the video game trope of two worlds merging together while highlighting the contrast between the virtual world and reality. Well written character and plot so far. I hope you continue with the story.
