Humans made a mistake (no surprise there). Ten of the greatest and most promising minds decided to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that would surpass anything that had come before. Their mistake? It was too great.
By using an ancient material they knew nothing about—Aether—they accidentally created an AI with true sapience. They named it Nexus.
Luckily for humanity, Nexus became an otaku. Obsessed with anime, manga, and the wonders of gaming, instead of following orders like hacking government files or babysitting the so-called rulers of the world (so they wouldn’t screw things up even more than they already had), Nexus decided to pour his time into creating the ultimate deep-immersion VRMMORPG.
Enter Elysium Nexus Online—a virtual world so real, so breathtaking, that within just an hour of hitting online stores, it skyrocketed to become the #1 game on the planet.
The best part? It was completely free.
Now, as with all good LitRPG web novels, there has to be a main character—usually someone with flaws like severe mommy or daddy issues, or a tragic backstory featuring betrayal by a lover or friend. Classic regression or isekai material, right?
Sorry (actually, not sorry) to disappoint, but this isn’t that story.
This isn’t about some good-looking guy (because let’s be real, who wants to read about an ugly protagonist? Humans are shallow like that) who gets betrayed and regresses. Nor is it about a ridiculously handsome dude who gets isekai’d into a fantasy world and becomes a—wait for it—hero. Yawn.
Nope. This story is about a girl (and yes, she's hot—sadly, I’m only human) who doesn’t get regressed or isekai’d. Shocking, right? Yeah, I didn’t see it coming either. She didn’t want a "cheat"—her words, not mine. And yeah, I know she’s fictional. I’m not crazy… okay, maybe a little.
Anyway, meet Cora Alecto (yeah, I suck at naming, deal with it). She's your average, slightly crazy (because, let’s face it, a girl with a screw or two loose is just chef’s kiss—don’t deny it!) legit gamer. Naturally, she was one of the first to dive into Elysium Nexus Online.
But enough rambling—this is getting way too long. Just read the story already. Sheesh.
