[Thousand Tales 01] • The Great Sage

Phoenix is an uploader : a once-dying kid who became a digital mind living inside the game world called Talespace. But everyone has to grow up sometime, and in this virtual land it's a stranger process than normal. When Phoenix and his friends get the chance to raid a fantasy island, they turn it into a small act of defiance in the name of privacy and independence. Will they complete their assigned quest, or go completely off the rails?

A slice-of-life story about an upbeat near-future world, with elements of the "LitRPG"/"GameLit" genre.
