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

August tilted his head. "Didn't think I'd get summoned this quickly."

The masked figure patted him on the shoulder. "You just dismantled a legend in this place. Of course, the queen is curious. She rarely calls new blood this fast."

"Good," August muttered. "I was looking for an opportunity anyway."

Without hesitation, he followed the guards through the settlement.

The crowd parted for them with envy reflected in some of their eyes. Some people murmured about his battle, others glared at him with open resentment. August ignored it all—his focus was solely on the task ahead.

As they passed by the lower prisoner sector, his eyes subtly flickered to where the prisoners were kept.

Among them, still shackled and hunched, was Sir Dumblore. He had clearly heard the commotion but didn't look up. August knew he couldn't act now, but at least he was getting closer to the moment he needed.
