Alfiria Saga
At 59 years old, John Leben had only one passion left in life: playing Alfiria Saga, a fantasy MMORPG he had devoted 25 years of his life to. After resigning from his job in his mid-thirties and living alone ever since, John found comfort and meaning in the game world he loved — even as its players slowly vanished over the years.
Now, with Alfiria Saga officially shutting down, John receives one final message from the developers: a mysterious reward for the last active player.
When he accepts it, he expects a figure, some merchandise, or perhaps just a nostalgic goodbye.
Instead…
He wakes up in the game world itself — younger, stronger, and completely naked in the middle of a dangerous forest.
Armed with only his knowledge of the game, John must now navigate the world of Alfiria Saga.
But in this world of magic, monsters, and secrets long forgotten by players, can an old man's regrets find new purpose?
Or will this second chance turn into his greatest trial yet?
Author’s Note:
This story was originally written in Filipino back in 2020 (Wattpad), and what you're reading now is its translated English version.
The original Filipino draft is currently unpublished, as I'm still revising and working on future chapters. I decided to release this English version first to reach more readers — especially those who enjoy nostalgic, emotional isekai stories set in a fantasy MMORPG world.
Thank you for reading. If you'd like to see the Filipino version in the future, feel free to let me know — your support means everything.
