Dwarves and elves are carefully discouraged from exhibiting any unwanted behaviors.

Isabelle’s life was garbage. Then she got yeeted into Beaubinte—a stat-ridden fantasy hellpit where caves whisper loot me, the logs scream errors, and poison arrows count as handshakes. She was supposed to be a side character. Probably. Now her sneak stat won’t stop climbing, her fireballs keep committing war crimes, and the system is either sentient or just high on its own code. The prophecy’s glitched. The Citadel’s on fire. The gods are watching like it’s reality TV. Isabelle? Underdressed. Overleveled. Emotionally unavailable. Looting everything that isn’t nailed down.

I can promise you this, there’re are plenty of twists to keep you intrigued.

Broke, burnt out, and one bad click from disaster, Sam says yes to a “quick cash” beta test—and wakes up inside a secret VR dungeon tournament with permadeath, zero gear, and the lowest starter stats. His only ally: Moxie, a sarcastic AI moose and insists he try not to die before the tutorial. Floor One is sewer rats, biting treasure chests, and a big red button no sane person should press. Floor Two is worse: party votes, bosses named Kevin, and “rewards” that barely keep you alive. When Sam stumbles into a hidden vault with his name on it, he doesn’t just break the rules—he breaks the game.
