Worlds, like all other living beings, are born, grow, and then die.

And, sometimes, they are born in the most unexpected ways.

Cecilia was a player in the VRMMO Hyperborea, a game that mixed Survival and RPG. Yet, she wasn’t any player, but a proud member of its strongest guild, the Dead Nerds Society.

It was a guild formed only by patients with impaired mobility who had no other distraction besides playing the game with the neural reality implements while their bodies withered away in their hospital beds.

They all knew that their lives were tied to machines, so they made a pact of being logged into the game when they die.

They all knew that the game world was not the real world.

Yet, their ‘real’ world was just a hospital room and the neverending procession of nurses, serums, and medical exams.

The only world that mattered was Hyperborea.

To Cecilia’s surprise, that was the world where she found herself in when she died. Instead of the expected oblivion or the afterlife promised by religions, she was within the skin of her character, inside the game.

Not only that, but, as she explores around, she finds signs that her guild companions have also been isekaid into it. 

It shouldn’t be possible to migrate to a world that only existed as a game, created by humans with human power and tech. Yet, it wouldn’t be possible to deny that they were actually there.

And, not only that, as former players, they were among the most powerful beings of this world.

What NOT to expect in this novel:
- Explicit sex content
- Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light.” Slavery is Evil, period.
- Harem
- NTR
- Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse
- Sexism

What TO expect in this novel:
- Brain beats brawn
- Slow pace
- Mystery
- Some romance on the side
- Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that
- There might be implied mentions of sexual abuse
- People might be gay, lesbian, trans, or even straight (I even have some friends that are straight)
- But, the MC is Yuri, and that’s not negotiable.
- Before anyone complains about Yuri: I am a lesbian girl myself, so writing Yuri romance is simply the most natural to me. That’s all there is about it

Cecilia and Marya spent the rest of the day making preparations for the trip and ritual, which included asking for Gertrude's permission.


The next morning, at dawn, the two departed to the forest. The early morning mist was still in the air, slowly fading as the sun stretched higher into the sky.


"Remember, we're looking for communion and communication, not confrontation. And never, ever, leave my side. Understood?"


After they entered the forest, they walked through the trails in silence, like two pilgrims. The air hummed with the insects' buzzing and the birds' chirping.


Cecilia assumed that wherever the 'spirit' might be, if it really existed in this world, it would be where the mana was denser. So that was the direction they walked, changing slightly from time to time to avoid monsters, which appeared in Cecilia's map as red dots.
