Everyone who is anyone is obsessed with Neon Dragons - the latest highly immersive cyberpunk aRPG from Sparksoft. But as fate would have it, the PC of our late-twenties main character broke, mere days before the game's release.
All she could do was to console herself by watching a copious amount of content creators play through the game she had always dreamt of.
Limiting her own knowledge to the parts of the world she sees in the respective playthroughs, is her way of keeping the mystery surrounding the world alive.
Wiki-dives are her late-night pleasure - naturally only about things that were already covered or appeared in the new episodes of whatever playthrough she was watching.
Things change drastically, however, as one day she wakes up inside the body of a 15-year old girl inside the city of Neo Avalis, 6 years into the game's past.
It feels like a dream come true - she can finally experience the neon-lit streets and mixture of high tech and grime she's only seen in videos!
Plus, Seraphine, as she quickly learns is the name of the body she now inhabits, has an extra thing to be happy about - she can level herself just like a character in the game!
With everything she has read and watched about Neon Dragons, it should be no problem to make herself the perfect person to solve the mystery of the enigmatic Wall at the (seeming) edge of the play-area on her own!
But she quickly realizes that she cannot just sit and grind out her skills while the world is on pause - this game is very real and life in a cyberpunk future is full of danger and intrigue whether you are looking for it or not.
Not only does she need to fit into her new strange family and understand how her abilities work, but also her world seems to have some differences from the game she saw played - differences that are rapidly revealing themselves to be bigger than she had anticipated...


Before you start reading this story, please be aware that this will not be a short one.
Much like my other novel,The Allbright System, this one is designed to last for a LONG time.
I prefer long, expansive stories that span thousands of pages, in order to fully tell the story I intend to tell.
Our main character doesn't even leave the initial apartment until around 10+ chapters in or so, so if you are looking for a quick and short read, this!

A major inspiration for this Webnovel is Seras' "Ghost in the City: Cyberpunk Gamer SI", which is massively recommened by me! It is a fantastically written delve into the universe of Cyberpunk2077 and makes you truly feel like you are a part of the world.
Further inspirations (more minor in scope, mostly regarding the litRPG, System elements and Worldbuilding itself) include, but aren't limited to in no particular Order: "Cyber Dreams" by PlumParrot, "Stray Cat Strut" byRavensDagger,"Cities without Numbers" the TTRPG System, "Shadowrun" the TTRPG System, Cyberpunk2020 the TTRPG System
Highly recommend you check them all out, if you're enjoying this story!
