    Summary

    Lyla downloaded the gacha game for some pretty pixel boys and endorphin-click mechanics.
    What she actually got was interdimensional PTSD and a shiny new Hunter badge she never asked for.
    Monsters. Plot holes. Sexy men with backstories that scream “therapist required.”
    Right—

    Lyla’s “I’m out” was so abrupt even the Hunter Association blinked.
    Her power said “gamify.”
    She said “Stardew Valley”
    Now she’s off-grid with a farm, 80% less anxiety, and avoids the main story like a tax audit.
    Xavier comes looking for evidence of foul play.
    Finds turnips, a hedgemaze, and the slow crumbling of his priorities instead.

    Summary

    MC throws up her breakfast.

    Ignoring her grandmother’s concerned fussing, she stumbles down the hall and into the bathroom.

    Her adopted brother-slash-childhood-friend (please don’t let him be the new love interest, please don’t let him be the new love interest—) looks at her weird.

    She throws up harder.

    MC couldn’t wait to finally be old enough (again) to drink.

    Summary

    You’d never quite anticipated yourself being transmigrated into a game you poured countless hours into, but here you were. A mere NPC with an already there life, and a minimum wage job at the most infamous café in the game. You essentially had a front row seat to the very plot you used to watch unfurl through a screen.

    However, despite the close proximity and no matter how hard you try, destiny keeps dragging you in by a string and tying you to the very thing you wanted to avoid. But hey, you’re just a simple café employee with a little more information than the average person—what harm could come from a little interaction?
