Claire had ulterior motives while helping her best friend test a game.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was a beta, she cranked her character's stats to ridiculous heights, instantly becoming a top-tier archmage with an enormous mana pool.
Just as she thought she could run wild in this world, she discovered a very serious problem.
This game has no party protection mechanic…
So after casting a Meteor spell, she could only watch as the dragon and her melee teammate died in spectacular fashion.
Incidentally, the swordsman in her party was the game's hero and the prince of the kingdom.
System messages popped up one after another, announcing that she had become the kingdom's most wanted criminal.

As an RPG expert who'd cleared countless nightmare-difficulty games, Glan gave a scornful laugh. "How hard can it be? No matter how bad she is, I can get us through in one life!"
After several rounds of "tough love," Glan: [spewing curses.jpg]
