Live in the world of Arceldia where you'll be able to fight alongside other players, defeat monsters, and complete quests where creatures beyond your imagination stand before your virtual eyes.
In this MMORPG, magic and fantasy are closely intertwined where you pick from the six species that live peacefully with each other side by side.
Here, a heroic and worthy story is waiting to be told.
Who will you choose?

When Sunhye fell into the world "Arcledia", she was blown away by the level of expertise put into it.
Everything from the scenery to the species spread across the domain in the MMORPG was amazing and she expected it was only a matter of time before her gaming experience would turn into a full-blown journey filled with quests and danger.
The only thing she didn't account for, however, was the companions she had in her group – specifically the one named Kai.

thoughts PLOT: I wouldn't normally do this, but before you read on, play this to get you in the mood:

This fic has 1/2 Prince and Sword Art Online vibes. (Both are listed as inspirations, so it's hardly surprising.) I love 1/2 Prince and Sword Art Online. Basically, it's a kind of semi-futuristic setting in which there's technology that allows you to enter a MMORPG (multi-massive online role playing game, for those of you unfamiliar with the term) and sort of 'live' in it while you're playing. In 1/2 Prince this turned out to be a creation of a dying genius to make himself immortal (and take over the world) and in SAO it was some kind of experiment that physically trapped players in the game and they had to defeat it in order to break free while their real world bodies were in comas. The author has said that this one probably won't be much more than twenty chapters and though there's still quite a lot that can happen in twenty chapters and the stakes aren't quite as high as they get in SAO or 1/2 Prince, I like this kind of set up enough not to be bothered if there isn't a "need to save the world" quest.

Basically, Sunghye's an amateur gamer who's contemplating buying another game when she spots Arceldia, and because she's a normal human being and Arceldia has a much prettier cover, she buys Arceldia instead and is pleasantly surprised to find that its features are outstanding. Choosing the species of demigod (and inheriting some pretty awesome dragon powers from Chinese mythology), she pretty quickly finds herself teaming up with Kai, one of the top elf-species players in the game, who doesn't want to go in a group of his own rank because he's had bad experience doing so on previous occasions, and with Sehun, a warbeast, when they rescue him from some other player
