Summary

The royal bastard of House Vasquer, Argrave, has changed after his stay studying magic at the Tower of the Gray Owl. The sickly man’s awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced with a neat dignity and acerbic wit. His listless life has found a path of undeniable purpose. Most come away thinking he seems to know too many details about too much. Few can claim to know his motives or his goals.

Behind the scenes, though, the primary contributor for an open-world RPG’s wiki battles existential dread and things far beyond his ken as he struggles to adapt to a grim, gothic fantasy world that he had the misfortune to claim as his favorite game. This is his tale.

#####What to expect from this story#####

This piece is a high-fantasy style story, featuring many of the species and surroundings one might expect to find in such a world. The cultures are original and well-developed, with the primary setting being a European-style feudal society. Warfare, fell beasts, and natural disasters are commonplace in Berendar, and take the center of many plots. The protagonist is a smooth-talker, but the world does not exist for him; he must struggle to gain power.

    From the title alone can I expect some backstabbing.°^°

      Yes, with more action-packed politicking. Not to mention how the writing is just disgustingly good... Well individualized characters, lore crumbs, a clear goal and sense of urgency, even as simple as the chapter titles got their own witty humor euphemism in it.

    Im on ch 27 rn but can someone please tell me if the l*sb**n subplot is real or was it just something that was mentioned in passing

    I will not mention anything spoiler-wise. I'd just like to say the writing quality is on par with LoTM, ORV, Delve, Tbate. Slowburn, natural-realistic writing, heavy lore, has a map imagery. Definitely going into my favlist. Personally speaking the Alchemist has to be one of the most well written characters I've seen in awhile. He reminds me of Gilgamesh from Epic of Gilgamesh and Marethyu from Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series.

        It's a novel based litrpg portal-isekai. Has alot of maths and programming. The plot, pacing, character profiling and grammar is good for me

        Another rpg like story with dungeons,levels, and classes, focused on stat numbers and mc trying to make himself more powerful by trying to find loopholes in the system. You can find it on RR or other sites, chapter updates seems a bit inconsistent though.

        Are you certain? Just asking since there’re zero tags that hint towards it.

    It is good. I like it. So why in the worl I am growing tired of reading it. It is freaking mystery! I want to read it, but everytime I try to, I suddenly becomes tired of it! Ugh... I sound like a karen...

      I like how the author makes him panic when there are variables that are out of his control. It shows that not all plans are foolproof and even if it was so, unpredictable things coming to play is a reasonable development. How realistic is that?

      Same. I haven't read it for 2 months. Now I am gonna read this.

        Go, I realized recently why I became tired of it. I still like it though. But MC was kind of a megalomaniac I think. He was kind of a control freak. I know that in writing, this was not a problem after all since it is part of MC's personality, but I hope he can be nicer, you know?

    okay I'm gonna take a pause on chapter 363 to build up chapter until at least current chapters reach 500. For anyone wondering if this is worth reading... IT IS TRUST ME. One mistake on this site is that it desperately needs a romance tag, the romance is so well written man.

    I read exactly 180 chapters of this novel and I can say that it was very good, the pace was great, neither too fast nor too slow, the construction of the world and the setting is fantastic and the secondary characters are unique and fascinating, but in the last chapters the protagonist gave a 360° of personality I know that the transformation event was drastic and brought a lot of pain but I preferred his lighter, more playful and at the same time reliable personality, now he seems more like a soldier who has control of the entire group of companions and the tireless duty to save the world at any cost, and the only one the MC listens to and cares about is his girlfriend. In my opinion, this left the novel a bit boring.

      that changes a little bit as you read on, but he always listens to his girl but also to others as well. His personality had to change but he retains some of his lightheartedness.
