Reality is a simulation. Samantha Marion did not get the memo.Instead she found out the fun way:Step 1: Get framed.Step 2: Have a disassociation moment.Step 3: See through the static on the wall.Step 4: Level up?Hearing voices... well that's new.Sam does what any reasonable person would do with reality altering powers: tries to fix her coffee maker, gives herself a raise and begins methodically documenting extremely reasonable response to the situation in a journal titled: Definitely Not Evil Plans.The harder question is whether the universe handed her admin access by accident or whether that prickle of being watched on the back of her neck means that she's been watched a lot longer than she realized.Oh and let's not forget she still needs to: Try to be a good best friendFind a date for the holidaysMake ends meetChange the paint on her walls using only her mindRevenge. Definitely Not Evil Plans is a LitRPG lite progression fantasy with dry humor, slow burn romance, and complicated feelings about the latest installment in her favorite romantasy series. First in the Awakened series.
