About this story

Private Investigator Scarlet Bourne isn't particularly bothered by the prospect of the end of the world. As far as she's concerned, it wasn’t that great a place anyway. So, when strange windows begin appearing in people’s vision, warning them they have three days until 'Full Initialization', she just does what she’s always done: Prepare. When the countdown ends, extinction never comes. Instead, people get the System, while the world gets portals, monsters and mana. In the midst of chaos, Scarlet sees opportunity. The rules have changed, and nobody knows what they are. Scarlet intends to be the first to find out.  With her unique advantages and her bonded companion at her side, she isn’t looking to fight her way to the top. She's going to control the battlefield from the shadows.  If secrets are security and knowledge is power, then Scarlet intends to become untouchable. But first, she’ll need to learn how to survive. What to expect? • Weak to Strong MC  • Strategic Protagonist • Inter-World Politics • Weak to Strong Bonded Companion • Progression (Numbers Go Up) • Unique System Mechanics  Posting Schedule: Tuesdays, Thursdays & Sundays (PST)
