August Clementine was once Reacher, a wealthy and thrill-seeking businessman who had everything but satisfaction in life. After a fatal adventure, Reacher awakens on a parallel Earth, in the body of the destitute and troubled 19-year-old August Clementine. 

With his new identity, August finds himself burdened with debt and responsible for his beloved younger sister, Sophia.

Desperate to change their fate, August immerses himself in Enders Light, a cutting-edge VRMMORPG that blurs the line between virtual and reality. In this fantastical game world, players can bring specific items that meet certain requirements into the real world and even gain a fraction of their in-game abilities and strength. 

Stuck at level 12 and unable to progress past his starting village due to a rare armor shortage, August must rely on his wits and determination. 

A breakthrough comes when he retrieves a mystical purification stone from a river teeming with magical aqua beasts and uses it to cleanse an ancient, corrupted altar. 

His reward includes the legendary Fruit of Corruption, a priceless item with the potential to grant supernatural abilities in the real world.

Caught between the allure of selling the fruit for financial security and the temptation of gaining extraordinary powers, August must make a choice that will define his and Sophia’s future...

"What? I gained the ability to extract any item from the game into the real world without restrictions?"

I Can Extract Game Items

Viora frowned. "That fruit… Could it be the Fruit of Sin?"

"It must be," Torin said. "It's what everyone is after."

Drask pointed to another part of the mural. "Look, there. The Swordking's commanders… they're kneeling in front of him. Swearing loyalty even after everything fell apart."

August narrowed his eyes. "That explains why we've been fighting corrupted commanders every ten floors. They followed him into the abyss."

Aria nodded. "And we'll likely face more the deeper we go."

The group continued their descent, battling fierce beasts that grew stronger with each passing floor. On the 91st floor alone, they encountered mutated wolves with obsidian fur and glowing red eyes, shadowy wraiths that drained health on contact, and towering stone golems immune to physical attacks.
