"There are no heroes. In life, the monsters win."
...
In 2106, [Mayhem Online], a fully immersive VRMMO game, was released. Soon, it dominated the world's economy when people could exchange the in-game currency with real-life currency and vice versa.

In the year 2107, Flynn Grey, a 22-year-old college dropout with an ambiguous history, joined in the fray of billions of people that had already started playing [Mayhem]. Hoping to uncover the game's secret and earn a fortune, he spent months on adventures without fruitful results.

For better or worse, Shura, Flynn's in-game character, ends up in a great Wyvern's den, acquiring a hidden class and a monstrous race. Join him as he defeats his past and paves his way into becoming a true legend in both worlds.

//DreamNote//

This story features an unstable protagonist due to his mysterious past. He's not evil, not righteous either, and would do anything he feels like doing. 

Character development is a big part of the novel, so if the Protagonist seems annoying and idiotic at the start, bear with it as it gets better. His character and everything else is explained. 

This story will feature his real and game life, although, for most parts, the focus would be on the game world.

He doesn't start as a monster protagonist from the get-go. It'll be shown in the story how and why he turns into a monster in the game [Chapter no. 20-35]. 

The story's pacing would depend on the arcs, but I'll try to keep it at the fast-mediums.

This story WILL have a harem, but the focus would be on the character-building more than the romance. Romance is going to form later and will be slow-paced.

The current cover belongs to Zumi. I do not own the art.

I had no idea what it actually meant. I knew what a dungeon raid was, but didn't know what the 'freestyle' meant.


I was currently on the giant platform that covered the whole stadium. It was divided into segments of people and a VR capsule was placed for all of us. It was surprising that it could hold seven thousand players.


I guess it wasn't one of the world's biggest stadiums for nothing.


The enthusiastic cheers of the crowd brought me back to reality as I looked around.


"Weird, I don't have stage fright, huh."


I was surprised at myself. I was really calm even after facing thousands upon thousands of people and their enthusiastic cheers.  


[All the players are divided into 5 groups, that is, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. They're divided into the said groups via a sorting function made by our supercomputers, which is decided by how popular or how much impact a player has on the overall worldview of the world.
