The one that, against her better judgment, she's falling for. She's prepared to pay for her freedom—but when the cost is her heart, the price may be more than she can bear.

These labyrinths, brimming with treacherous traps and fierce creatures, are the lifeblood of civilization's relentless machine. But for nature's crusader, these dungeons represent the very chains binding the world in a vice of exploitation. Determined to liberate nature from the clutches of this insatiable industry, they venture deep into the notorious Ditz Dungeon. With every step, they confront not only the dungeon's inherent dangers but also allies whose allegiances waver in the face of greed.

Not long ago, NSLICE-00P—short for Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer—performed her job with cold, calculated, merciless obedience. When she was ordered to destroy something, it got seriously destroyed. Unfortunately, that led her to take out her own creator before he created her, casting the cyborg out of her reality and into a world of magic, levels, and skills, with her very own dungeon core and no one to tell her what to do. As it turned out, fate put NSLICE-00P in the right place at the right time: she's become a legit heroine in this new existence.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them. And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

For a young mycologist raised in the city's bleakest corners, life offers scant opportunities and even less justice. But destiny has chosen them to navigate treacherous union politics, decipher the mysteries of their birthplace, and unravel the enigma of a god-like master. Their goal? To mend the fractured bond between man and nature. Yet, as shadows deepen and they discover the depths of the city's rot, they begin to wonder: Is the only true remedy to set the world aflame and rise from its ashes?

Nature is dying. Perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine, nature itself can play one final trump card to save itself.

Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good, but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box!
