Eleri Clay awoke to find herself inexplicably transposed into the very horror game that had captivated her since childhood – a mere extra character in a world she knew intimately. A writer by nature, she harbored a fervent ambition: to craft a narrative of unparalleled perfection, a story surpassing even her wildest dreams. To achieve this, she required power beyond imagining. Yet, such a straightforward path bored her. Instead, she conceived a bolder ambition: to become the paragon of humanity, to pen a legend that would echo even in the celestial courts of the Gods.
This audacious goal was further fueled by the awakening of a mysterious system, a tool perfectly aligned with her ambitions. Sixteen years of obsessive gameplay had granted her an understanding of this world far exceeding that of its native inhabitants.
However, the path to perfection was not without its obstacles. Figures shrouded in mystery, characters absent from the game's original narrative, began to emerge, thwarting her progress at every turn.
As Eleri delved deeper into this twisted reality, the truth began to unravel, layer by layer. Was this world ever truly a game? Or was it reality itself, a cruel and unforgiving stage upon which she played her part? And perhaps the most unsettling question of all: was Eleri Clay herself…even real to begin with?
