Akihiro Kurogane wakes up inside the world of the game he created — but it doesn’t recognize him right now. Now living as his test avatar, Raven, he discovers a world that behaves nothing like the code he wrote: magic feels alive, monsters act unpredictably, and even the environment responds with eerie natural instinct. After saving a wounded dragon pup named Zyra, a bond he never expected to have — it was ancient. Raven doesn’t belong here.But this world isn’t treating him like its creator…It’s treating him like an anomaly.
