Crossing Dimensions: The Growth of a Fifth S-Rank Gardener

(Lots of jokes and memes. I'm a new author, so I'd love readers' feedback.)

Recently, Identity V exploded in popularity online. Lisa, a player who'd drifted away from the game, felt the urge to return. She never expected to be mocked in-game for having over five thousand matches and still being a low-tier faker. Furious, she started arguing after the match, only for the System's bot to mute her. She could only watch as the player who'd been carried through the match mocked her. In a fit of rage, her vision blurred, and she was swept into Identity V's Oletus Manor, becoming the Gardener, a popular character with a terrible reputation among casual players.

At first, she thrived in the manor and got along with everyone.

But just as Lisa was enjoying her carefree life and assuming things would stay that way, a rustling sound shattered everything. All the happiness and sunshine she'd experienced had been part of a dream trial. She hadn't come to the real manor at all.

The source of that sound was the one who'd started the dream trial, and the one who had truly brought her to the manor. And so Lisa began her game in the manor.
