The Dark Herbalist

Timothy, a talented gamer, initially accepts a peculiar offer: to work as a plotline tester for a cutting-edge fantasy MMORPG called Boundless Realm, with the promise of future, mysterious perks instead of immediate pay. What begins as a dream job quickly morphs into a complex entanglement, as he delves deeper into the game's intricate mechanics and hidden lore.

Timothy is an exceptionally skilled and dedicated gamer, initially driven by a need to prove himself and a deep connection to the virtual world. He possesses a keen intellect and a pragmatic approach, navigating challenges with calculated cunning rather than brute force.

His journey transcends mere character progression, evolving from a seemingly ordinary herbalist into a figure of significant, often villainous, power within the virtual landscape. Readers follow his transformation as he unravels deep-seated mysteries, builds complex relationships—including romantic entanglements and a harem—and confronts the blurred lines between his virtual and real lives.
