He thought he broke the game. But now, the game is breaking him. Karma hits hard. Steve tried as hard as he could to beat his favorite game, The Hundred Years War, as his favorite general, Joan of Arc. After hundreds of failed runs, he finally did it! Sure, it took a little exploit, but who cares? He did it in record time, and it turned out he was number one in the WORLD! The game asked for his name, and of course, he just had to give his real one. But the moment he did, he found himself sucked into the game as Joan of Arc. Now trapped in a world where Joan is forced to fight battle after battle through countless lifetimes, Steve’s only hope is the exploit that won him the game. But when he finally finds it, he’s faced not with the end, but a whole new beginning. A completely different game. One where he has no idea what’s going on. What the hell’s a Villainess?!
