Killing a god was nothing compared to working up the courage to confess to her best friend. Bella’s nights were balanced between grinding mastery over the game’s spell tree, finishing quests, and roleplaying her character’s relationship with her best friend’s character Gemma. Yes, their in-game characters were married. Which was definitely just for the lulz… right? It was all simple fun until they finished off the final boss and woke up as their characters. Now everything’s more complicated. Like Bella trying desperately to keep it cool while innkeepers insist on giving her and Gemma a single bedroom. Or figuring out what to do now that they have more money than a dragon’s hoard and magic powerful enough to have killed a god. Or how to cross from being best friends to being wives. Killing a god might have been easier. What to expect:- MCs with sexual tension- Spicy flirting!- High fantasy game-lit world- No weird game stats or system- Absurdly OP MCs- Mostly cozy slice of life- 1 chapter per week Cover art by Nini Fanchvidze
