About this story
All Ryan ever wanted to do was become an adventurer.
Quests, skills, quirky teammates and posting exploits on Realmnet. What’s not to love?
Instead he’s broke, working at a Manaburger, and System slots cost more than his paycheck times ten thousand.
Then he gets shot.
Then the Trial System chooses him.
Then he ends up in a Trial, with hostile Earth soldiers—from his own country no less.
Ryan just wanted to play adventurer. Instead, he’s fighting with every authority figure, stabbing a sword prodigy in a deathmatch, and… immediately getting blacklisted from the Adventurer’s Guild?
Suddenly Ryan's no longer just a fry cook. He's a rare Destined, tasked with figuring out how to save not one, but two worlds. It just doesn't seem that way to anyone else.
But hey, in a world ruled by Tyrants, what’s a villain but a hero adventurer with an attitude?
What to expect:
+ Ryan is a lovable [Rogue]. Weak to strong to op.
+ A post-integration world(s) where things have settled, but conflict is starting to bubble under the surface.
+ Power and choice, choice and power. Progression in both skills and character.
+ arrogant mages, intelligent monsters, guns, drones, selfies, [Meteors], covens, cults, shitposting epigraphs and a Gamielle.
+ World hopping between The Realm and Earth through gates/skills. A lot of the initial focus will be on The Realm.
+ A Witch Tyrant who will hex people through the internet for very mean comments.
+ No harem.

Long time reader, first time storyteller. I've been working on Ryan's tale for a while now and it's finally at the stage where I'm proud to share it. There's a lot of inspirations here. From system apocalypses to world hopping to cultivation and just plain epic fantasy. You'll find elements of all of them here, blended into something that I believe is fairly unique.
