One day, I fell out of the real world and into the Backrooms, a place that shouldn't exist. Not only that, but I discovered that I seemed to be in a state-altered, semi-Creative mode in Minecraft.
At first, this seemed pretty great. I didn't have to worry about survival, and even if I died, I could come back to life. It felt like there was nothing to worry about.
But was that really true? [Was it?]
I couldn't die. No matter what happened, whether I was killed by an outside force or destroyed myself, I would revive again. My wounds would vanish as if I had refreshed, restoring me to my best condition.
But there was no escaping the pain. Under these circumstances, it was hard for death not to become cheap.
I wouldn't grow old. I could get stronger through exercise, but my bone age and physical condition would stay forever fixed at the age I was when I got trapped in the Backrooms: somewhere in my twenties.
My feelings were the same. My memories kept growing, but the love I had felt in the past could never fade. It was fixed in place, and would never diminish.
Still, there seemed to be one piece of good news: even if I broke down, dying once would restore my sanity value to what it had been before I got trapped. Let's call it sanity value for now.
With no way to dig through the levels using manuscripts, even if I no longer really cared, all I could do was take things one step at a time, clinging to the faintest hope as I searched for a way out of the Backrooms, until I discovered I could log in to Wiki...pedia.
After an accident kicked me out of the Backrooms, I found that my Frontrooms had become the world of One Piece.
Before I could even process the news, somehow my eyes landed on the person I [love deeply], the one whose place in my heart had been endlessly amplified, standing in the crowd.
At that very moment, I felt as if I had truly "come alive."
The love and desire I'd kept suppressed for so long suddenly burst out and spread, like a demon released from a shattered bottle.
I took off running in his direction.

Actual [Reader's Guide]:
1. This story contains lots of original settings, major alterations, and original plotlines. Please don't scrutinize it too closely.
The game is based on the original version of Minecraft. Most of the Backrooms material is based on the Wiki version, with a little from Fandom. The levels also include some of my own interpretations and expansions.
The main settings are One Piece and the Backrooms. The manga is currently updated through Egghead Island, but the story won't follow the original plot closely.
In the early chapters, One Piece will only serve as the emotional backdrop. Please note that the actual romance will begin only after the protagonist arrives in the One Piece world. The earlier chapters focus on her personal travels through the Backrooms.
The protagonist is not mentally well. Please don't use her as a reference.
2. Starting without a backlog of chapters. This is a writing-recovery project; comments are welcome.
3. There is a fixed pairing with Trafalgar Law. He'll have a major role in the later part.
4. No BL shipping in the comments, thank you for your cooperation.
5. More details may be added if needed.
Enjoy reading!
