Heart of the World [LitRPG]

This is the story of how I stabbed a bear.

We were sent to save a world. Easy enough, right? Right?! Not in the full-dive VR of Realm of Ancients. I quickly learned that "saving the world" involves a lot less heroism and a lot more outsmarting oversized wildlife – especially one ridiculously persistent bear with a personal vendetta.-Thrown into a fantastical realm teetering on the edge after a cataclysm, Leo faces a fantastical land filled with beauty and terror in equal measure, demanding not just brute strength, but clever thinking to survive its harsh realities and the epic creatures that call it home. And then there's the constant reminder that even in a virtual world, some rivalries may just take surprising turns.Leo faces perilous survival feats and wit-based fights, while clinging to the hope that success will liberate the many trapped within. But in a world this unpredictable, will his sharp mind be enough to overcome the ancient secrets and colossal threats that lie ahead?
