Updates Daily Monday - Friday, Patreon 15 chapters aheadClick here to start reading Iris Orion is a naive young woman who has always dreamed of becoming an adventurer. With an imagination fueled by the storybooks of her youth and the tall tales told by her mother, Iris passes the days of her monotonous life with fantasies of the great world beyond her village. When the day finally comes -- when she finally finds the magic she always hoped to -- she's soon sucked away to the far reaches of her world, to the very frontier of the empire's exploration. As a level 1 adventurer in a strange and dangerous land, armed with only a teleport power and a bottomless bag that leads to the void behind reality, Iris must lean on the help of her newfound friends and fight to level up as quickly as she can if she hopes to survive.  What to expect:- Stats shown, but are used sparingly- MC does not min/max, and is not an experienced adventurer or gamer- Not a true isekai, but MC is teleported to the far side of her planet to an unexplored continent- Interpersonal dynamics between party members, occasional very short POV changes No review swaps -- all reviews are organic and unsolicited.
