A guilty verdict. A chance at freedom. A dangerous new world.

Hunter, a twenty-something college dropout, isn’t exactly going places—until a stolen pizza lands him in court. Instead of jail, he’s offered a strange deal: enter the virtual reality world of Elderpyre and playtest it for the developers. But the game is far more than it seems.

A cryptic note warns him, “This is not a game,” and soon, the lines between virtual reality and real life blur with deadly consequences. Hunter must fight, adapt, and forge his own path in a world where every choice matters, and survival is anything but guaranteed.

Elderpyre is a dark, progression fantasy with high stakes, rich characters, and a protagonist who refuses to give up.

What to Expect:

• VR-to-Isekai story with a smart, determined male MC.
• Stats, Skills, Abilities, and a unique progression system.
• Deep world-building and complex, varied characters.
• Intense, sometimes distressing content with real stakes.

What NOT to Expect:

• Overpowered MC.
• Harem or reverse harem.
