Keira should've said no to the elf ears—or at least paid more attention to her character build.

Instead, she entered a high fantasy pop-up experience with no idea how immersive it would become.

Now, her costume elf ears are real and she's the newest—and least prepared—first level ranger in Qeth: a land of long-dead dragons and fading magic. To return to her reality, she must join a party of wannabe adventurers and level up. But starter quests won't last forever, and as Keira and her new party gradually grow their skills—and their bond—they discover a long-lost secret that could send this idyllic fantasy realm into chaos.

What you can expect:* A light-hearted comfortable feel as friends confront increasing stakes together* Kind heroes who are trying to do good things for the (mostly) right reasons * Soft LitRPG: a facilitating [System] in the background, but not a focal point* D&D style adventuring with building action & intensity as they level* Flawed, non-OP protagonist * Slow-burn romance * Queer representation
