Gaming with a Cattitude! Confused and disoriented, Sophia awakens in the mystical world of her favourite MMORPG game, Novus Animus. But not only is she trapped within the body of her avatar, Arinya, she’s also the wrong class and her game progress has been reset. Adventuring was all fun and games when she was safely on the other side of the computer screen. In her current reality, though, getting wounded actually hurts! With no obvious answers and no clear way to escape, Arinya’s fight for the glory of Imperia becomes Sophia’s fight for survival as she tries to complete the game and return home. Admittedly, her new life isn’t all that bad, since she’s begrudgingly accompanied by the dashing elf Vanguard, Armin. As her friend always said, “When life gives you lemons, use them to level up your cooking skills!”
