SOPHIA_KRAMER

Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth.She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off.She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins.She didn’t meet a Goddess, wasn’t summoned like a hero, didn’t have a System giving her an ability. Instead, she was just dropped there to fend for herself. But with her knowledge, she doesn’t need a cheat skill. She is the cheat herself.

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.
