Original Novel <<less

Hiroki is not your average protagonist. He is a mysterious, reclusive man who was regarded as one of the best students in his school. Despite being an ace in almost every subject, no one knew his true nature or what kind of person he was. He was seen as a cold individual who refused any sort of interaction.... more>>

Despite that, he had many people under him who respected and provided protection in school, making him feared by most of the students. He was considered the top student that even the principal looked up to.

However, one day after school, his life took a drastic turn when he fell unconscious due to immense pain in his back. But the moment he opened his eyes, he soon realized that he had ended up in a different location — in an abandoned, ruined village.

With his knowledge of games that he used to play and a status window welcoming him to this place, he quickly realized that he had been summoned to another world.

But wait... as a ghost?

Have you ever thought to yourself, “tfw no qt3.14 dragon girl gf to play vidya with?” Are you one of those lonely people who claim to prefer single-player games because you have nobody to play multiplayer games with?

Oh, and you might want to keep in mind that the dragon in charge of the universe dislikes all things rational, logical, and other boring things like those.

Who thought after just falling asleep you would suddenly be transported to another world in the body of your game character? A common occurrence in manga and novels but for our protagonist here, it happens to him. Lucky bastard! Now in the extremely attractive body of his stupidly overpowered game character, he, or she now, tries to find a way to live without completely breaking everything. Unfortunately for him, while playing the game, the role of villain was role-played and all the events in the game have carried over to this world meaning everyone and everything under the sun fears her more than anything else ever could.... more>>

Wait? What was that? He/She isn't alone in this world? What do you mean there's additional reincarnators and transmigrators joining her? A immature author, the elf obsessed summoned hero, and more individuals from different realities. Looks like trouble is inevitable.

38 years old and divorced. No real friends. I had been working tirelessly day in and day out in a logistic company to forget about my lackluster life. ... more>>

I was working in the office until late night when I fell asleep on my desk. Suddenly, I was in white space. Weird. It was not a room. It had no wall, ceiling, and floor. I couldn't move my body. The image of my body was projected in front of me in 3D. This looked like when I was creating and customizing a new character in my Playstation 5 games.

"Hello? Is anybody here?" I was able to shout but no one answered. To my surprise, words appeared beside the 3D image of my body like a game tutorial. It said, "Please adjust the physical traits of your body". This was exactly like the games I often played. But how to adjust? I raised my hand but my edge of my hand went through my 3D body. It appeared the image is 3 dimension but it had no physical form. When i touch the "Tutorial words", a list of parameters appeared beside my 3D body. It really looked like a PS2 game!

Skin
Height
Weight
Hair
Eyes
Eyebrows
Mouth
Nose

I was an Asian with light brown skin and average height. Could i alter my physical appearance with this? I touched the "Nose" feature, my nose on my 3D image became more pointing like an European. The more i touched, the longer it became until my face looked like some weird foreigner. How to shorten my nose? Using my finger, I tried to scroll to left like when I playing game. That nose became shorter. So that's the mechanism!

I didn't want to substantially alter my appearance so I just altered my nose to be just slightly pointing but still looked Asian. I then brightened my brown skin to lighter brown. My height was originally 176cm, I altered to 186cm as I had always wanted to be taller. I raised my weight according to my new height. In overall, my 3D body still looked Asian.

Now, my hair. As 38 years old, I had a balding hair escpecially at the top. I touched the 'hair" word. Every time I touched, my hair style changed. From long curly black to long straight blonde hair. I choose the long black hair as that's my appearance during my teenage days. Finally, I touched the "Age" word. Number "38 appeared with "Minus" sign at its left and "Plus" at its right side. I touched the "Minus" until the number turned to 14. My 3D image became youthful ! <<less

It was supposed to be seven days in a completely immersive game, and a chance for old four friends to catch-up and renew their bonds. But when the system's AI develops a fatal bug, a new AI is born, and this one has some very different ideas about how an RPG should be run. Now, Aaron, Mack, Tanner, and Josh are stuck in the bodies of characters they didn't choose, fighting for their lives in a warped and frequently lewd world. ... more>>

***
This is my take on the theme of people being stuck in a game a world.

What to expect: a classic European fantasy realm with some twists, a band of misfits beating the odds, drastic feminizations, moral corruption, embarrassing situations, and plenty of sex.
For those reading for the sex, please be patient. It's going to be a gradual build up to the truly smutty stuff. Also, unlike some of my other stories, it won't be constant.

For those reading for the game play elements: there will be some, but I'm not planning on getting into the nitty-gritty of it. Mainly, the RPG will just be the world they're in. So, if you want to see the result of every saving throw, this might not be for you.
