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

Boris grunted while tearing a piece off a skewer with his teeth. "Yeah. And then suddenly you show up riding a damn dragon through the city. Care to explain?"

August smirked and leaned back in his chair. "If I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

Gregorious gasped. "Is it a legendary quest?! You are a protagonist! I knew it!"

August shook his head and changed the subject. "Where's Lilo?"

Ezran sighed while pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "She's working late again. Probably won't be on tonight."

August frowned slightly but nodded. "Alright, let's not waste time. We need to grind. The tournament isn't far off, and we're still way below the top-tier players."

Gregorious rubbed his chin. "Yeah… I checked the leaderboards earlier. Some of those bastards are already past level 60."

Boris snorted. "The Ice Queen is already level 58. That woman's a monster."
