Immortal NPC
When Ethan died, he expected either an afterlife or nothing at all. What he didn’t expect was waking up in Eternal Dominion, the most popular VRMMO in the world, but not as a player. Instead, he’s stuck as a nameless NPC in a medieval high-fantasy world filled with dungeons, guilds, and legendary heroes.
That would’ve been weird enough, but there’s one problem.
The game hasn’t even launched yet.
Even worse, he hasn’t just woken up a few years before launch, he’s thousands of years in the past, back when the events of the game’s lore were still unfolding.
He’s in the age of legendary wars, fallen empires, and forgotten gods—an era players were only supposed to read about in history books. At first, Ethan thinks it’s just an elaborate backstory running on AI scripts… until he realizes something terrifying.
The NPCs aren’t just scripted, they’re alive.
They have real thoughts, real emotions, and real fears. And the world itself? It’s not just code. It bleeds, it evolves, and it remembers.
As an unkillable anomaly in this living, breathing world, Ethan has all the time in existence to do whatever he wants. Whether it’s trolling ancient heroes, gambling on wars that haven’t been written yet, or taking naps in dungeons before they become raid bosses.
But as history approaches the era players will one day enter, Ethan starts to notice things that shouldn’t be happening. Events are shifting. Unwritten dangers are emerging. And something, or someone, knows he doesn’t belong.
Gods, developers, and power-hungry rulers alike demand answers:
Who is he?
Why can’t he die?
And why does he know the future of a world that was never supposed to be real?
Unfortunately for them, Ethan has only one goal in mind—
Live as lazily as possible, forever.
