Description: [edit] [history]

Emie Mercer was one of several billion that survived the apocalypse. As far as world-changing events went, it had been remarkably tame. Unfortunately, the rest of her family hadn't been so lucky. More than a decade later, Emie manages to create a formation that relies on her Time and Space affinities to return her consciousness to the past. When she arrives nearly four years earlier than expected, Emie realizes that she has a unique opportunity to prepare and train for what is coming.

Join Emie as she explores the game 'Atlas Online' in the way it was meant to be used - as a primer for the coming apocalypse.

[Participant in the April 2023 Writathon]

NOTE: This story leans toward the 'slice of life' category (and is tagged as such) as Emie works through readjusting to life as a teenager while she uses the game as a training tool.

The MC is not crazy OP (though she has the potential to be), she does not know everything, she makes mistakes and becomes short-sighted occasionally... If you are looking for a returner story where the MC remembers every cheat and knows every important event that will happen... this one probably won't satisfy you. It's a bit of a slow-burn as she figures things out.

Please note the content warnings, though they are pretty minor aspects of the story and don't come up very often.
