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

The Monarch gestured towards the prisoners lined up behind her, including Sir Dumblore. "These are examples of what happens to those who defy me. Learn from them, or share their fate."

August's eyes narrowed into slits. He needed to find a way to free Sir Dumblore, but any wrong move could spell disaster. For now, he had no choice but to play along.

Melanthis raised her staff, and the crystal at its tip glowed brighter. "Remember, you live by my grace. Do not forget it." With that, she turned and exited the platform with her guards following closely behind.

The crowd began to disperse as pressure lingered like a heavy fog. August turned to the masked figure. "I need to figure out how to get him out of here."

The figure nodded. "Whatever your plan is, you'll need to act fast and be careful about it."

August's gaze drifted back to the retreating form of Sir Dumblore alongside other prisoners. "I'm not leaving him here."
