SYNOPSIS:

In the mundane world, Richard toils away as a data entry clerk, yearning for the one escape that brings him solace—the annual LARPing event known as Battlecon. At the office, he's a quiet loner, struggling to assert himself and often bullied by his co-workers. But within the immersive world of the LARPing event, Richard transforms into Drahic, a fearless and charismatic mercenary warrior, surrounded by a community that accepts him.

One fateful year, Richard stumbles upon a mysterious building in the LARPing village, housing ancient books filled with arcane knowledge. Opening one of these books triggers a blinding light, transporting him to a fantastical realm where the LARPing event is no longer a game but a perilous reality. In this world, his friends have fully embraced their fantasy personas, and the consequences are life or death.

As Drahic navigates this treacherous new reality, he discovers that the girl he loves is in grave danger from a faction leader. Guided by a wise old man, Drahic learns that this world might be a manifestation of the collective imagination of his real-world LARPing community. To return home, he must save the girl and fulfill a prophecy that binds this realm.

The story unfolds as Drahic battles goblins, unravels magical mysteries, and forms alliances with his newfound friends-turned-fantasy-characters. Along the way, he faces internal and external challenges, ultimately leading to a climactic showdown with the faction leader. With the fate of the girl, the fantasy realm, and his own return home hanging in the balance, Drahic must dig deep to find the hero within himself.

As the story reaches its zenith, Drahic makes a pivotal choice, opening the same mysterious book that transported him to this world. The blinding light returns, and he awakens back in his original reality. Armed with newfound confidence and courage, Richard sets out to pursue the girl he saved, forever changed by his extraordinary journey from data entry clerk to a hero of two worlds.
