Light novel, slice of life, multiple heroines, love rivals, online game, Sword Art Online-esque.
[Hot forum thread] “Who is the godlike player ‘prois’ who soloed the Stargazer? Those moves were insanely cool!”
Gongcun Jieluo lowered his eyes. No one knew that the mysterious master being praised to the heavens on the forum was actually this gloomy, taciturn shut-in, who had been on leave from school for half a year and never set foot outside.
In the real world, he was a “loser shut-in” trapped in a dim room. His father was missing, his mother worked to support the family, and his younger sister worried about him. Then he put on that headset. In Goodnight World, he stepped through the city gates with the plainest gear, took on a boss alone, and flooded the forums with his gameplay video.
“Master, carry me!” “Are those moves even human?” Jieluo skimmed the comments and closed the page. He gripped the virtual dagger in his hand and felt the wind sweep across the grassland. Only here could he breathe.
That was, until a pirate girl called “Umbrella Blossom” barged into his solitary adventure. “Why are you always alone?” Her eyes shone. “When you fight, you practically glow.”
“I want to follow you forever.”
And then there was his childhood friend: “If you won't team up with me, I'll come find you in real life.”
The game guild leader: “Little Luolu, Godlike Jieluo, please, help me out. I'll do anything.”
