Klaid is a former kendo prodigy who treats VR as a ruthless economy, optimizing every second to pay for his mother's medical bills. On launch day, exploiting a lore paradox earns him the one class he can't solve: the Legendary Poet — a power-gamer's nightmare that runs entirely on emotion, the very thing Klaid discarded long ago.

Joined by a smug, talking arboreal observer, he ignores danger, takes absolutely nothing seriously, and accidentally becomes terrifyingly powerful. A comedic progression fantasy featuring steady growth, escalating nonsense, and a protagonist whose answer to life-or-death situations is usually, "How hard can it be?"

Her wicked schemes take an unexpected turn when a getaway gone wrong lands both her and her current foe, the annoyingly perky Hero Electra, in the middle of an unknown land that is definitely not Earth.
Silverwall is bizarre: Via is suddenly imbued with diabolical magical powers, an annoying menu keeps popping up about mana and Status Points, and no one has heard of the internet.
