Blurb:
As a clumsy RPG enthusiast, Yula loves to finish the side quests first, reach max level, get her gear in order, and then steamroll the main storyline.
She never expected to wake up inside the adventure RPG she'd recently played, Dragon-Slaying Guide to Another World, standing at the Adventurers' Guild entrance while an overbearing guard demanded she bring him some liquor.
[Quest triggered: "The First Hurdle at the Entrance"! Follow the map to the tavern, speak with the owner, buy a bottle of Redflame Wine, and give it to the guard!]
[Quest requirement: Redflame Wine (0/1)]
[Quest rewards: 1 Basic Wand, 100 gold coins, +1 favor with the guard]
Yula: "..."
The bad news: she'd been transported into a game she'd already played, right at the very beginning, at the first beginner quest.
The good news: the side quests she'd already completed hadn't been reset.
Yula opened her inventory, checked her gold count with its seven trailing zeroes and her packed materials storage, then pulled out a legendary wand with every enchantment imaginable and ornaments hanging all over it. She pointed it at the guard's chest before he could react.
A vivid red glow gathered at the tip, radiating enough heat to burn right through a person. The guard's horrified expression was reflected in the flames.
"Noel Walker!"
The girl stood with her legs apart, lifted her head, and shouted at the top of her lungs toward the roof of the guild building:
"When are you going to pay me back!!!"
In his office, the Adventurers' Guild master was listening to a subordinate's report with a cold expression when his whole body suddenly jolted. He fell out of his chair and scrambled to the window under his subordinate's horrified gaze.
Yula was back!!!
[How do you play in another world when you're max level and everyone's at max affection?]
[Obviously, you steamroll everything.]
[Max-level adventurer x Adventurers' Guild master]
[A dragon-slaying adventure in another world, starring a pair of probably very silly lovers]
