\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Rick was once a top-tier gamer—a sharp-witted, lone wolf player who tore through the bleak and brutal MMORPG [Fractured] with unrivaled skill. But after an unexpected accident, Rick wakes up not in the real world, but in the game itself... only to discover he’s now a she—reborn as Maria von Cainehurst, a fragile noble-born NPC doomed to die and later become a hated late-game boss in the 3.0 update: the Bloodstained Doll of the Starry Belfry.Stripped of his former strength and thrust into a child’s body, Rick—now Maria—must navigate a deadly world filled with betrayal, monsters, and prophecy. With her memories of the game’s future and the intricate workings of the [Fractured] world, she sets out to survive, rewrite her fate, and avoid becoming a stepping stone for future players.With each chapter, Maria walks the tightrope between the innocence of her new form and the ruthlessness of her former self—caught in a story where gothic horror, dark fantasy, and MMO mechanics collide.Author's Note: Hi readers! This is a dark fantasy isekai inspired by games like Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and other FromSoft titles—but with some original lore, factions, world systems, and update patches that mirror MMO-style progression. Expect deep world-building, cryptic mechanics, cruel enemies, and a heroine who must learn to survive in a nightmare dressed in nobility. ||| As a casual writer, I'm really sorry if the chapter words were to little (ó﹏ò｡), Thanks for reading and consider supporting me through patreon because you can also get up to 15 chapters ahead, and I hope you’ll enjoy the descent into [Fractured]!– From your blood-soaked keyboard, a slightly sadistic author. 🩸
