Volume 1 is complete. Volume 2 in progress. Updates Mondays. Cover is AI, but 0% of the writing is. What do you do when the Hundred Year Comet comes and steals you away? You roll with it. At least until you figure out how to take control, right? You’re offered an avatar—you pick one. Maybe something you weren’t before. Because why not? You choose something intimidating since you have no idea what you’re getting into. Dathai is a half-orc fighter in a virtually simulated world built by Archive, a DNA collection array. That’s all Dathai knows. And it’s enough. Enough to decide to break the whole damn thing. The only problem? Not everyone wants it broken. The System says: Survive. Dathai says: Watch me. If you find this story anywhere but Royal Road or Ghostcat's Patreon, it has been scraped without author approval. Things you might care about that didn't fit in the tags: - Vol1.: Learning curves and social interactions. A cross between Slice-of-Life and Action- Vol2.: Arena battles and escalations.- Low spice, low-medium in Volume 2- No harems- Weak to strong- Light System - First Person POV- Party and team-building elements- FMC chose male avatar, so genderbending, I guess?- Non-human characters, human characters, and human characters in non-human skins. It's a crazy, mixed-up world out there. If you read a few chapters and plan to continue, please like and follow. If you enjoy this story, give it a rating. Click the stars. Even better, take a moment and give me an advanced review. Thanks for coming along!
