[Discord Server: https://discord.gg/P6dVqACDz8] ==== Kyle was just an ordinary gamer until a truck-kun decided he was isekai material. Waking up in the world of Path of Transcendence—a novel he once read—he realizes he’s not the hero, the villain, or even a side character. He’s an extra, someone who was never mentioned in the story.

Blessed by the Roaming Storm, a mysterious and powerful force, he wields the rare ability to command lightning, wind, ice, and water.

All I know is this is just wrong. I was just reading the latest chapter of One Piece in my computer. And an annoying survey popped up asking me if I want to play One Piece new beginning. Thinking nothing of it I said yes. And selected 'Realistic' difficulty. There was a game loading screen. Loading gibberish, and warning me that the world has a lot of surprises in store for me. Not all things are same, because I had to choose the 'developer's time-line'. And then telling me to brace for Character Synchronization. And before I knew it, I was no longer your average Joe. And this wasn't earth either... no this was One Piece. And, I was Monkey D. Luffy. The future King of pirates. I mean what could go wrong? If Luffy could do it, so could I. But this wasn't the same One piece world I remember. Some changes are small like Kuina being Zoro's rival… who's alive. While others were huge. Like... did you know, Whitebeard had an actual beard?! Man looked like Santa Claus on steroids. Jaked and shit! Just what did I get myself into? But does it matter? No. Because I'm going to have the time of my life. This was going to be one heck of an adventure.
