My Favorite Game Followed Me! Novel

Anthony Saunders perished as a destitute orphan during a pandemic, only to awaken in a farming village as a boy named Anton. A mysterious tattoo of Diablo II adorns his wrists—his most cherished game from his former life. Remarkably, he can immerse himself in the game's world, with all spells and equipment stats manifesting in reality, though he cannot extract physical items from the digital realm. His inventory, however, remains accessible to him.

More unexpectedly, his Diablo II interface contains a functioning web browser connected to his original world. While he cannot reach out or communicate with anyone online, he can freely search, read, and consume content—a salvation against the crushing weight of isolation and monotony.

Armed with comprehensive knowledge from his past existence, Anton should easily accumulate wealth and power. Except nothing proves that simple.
