Alvin Atwater - 2018
Yes, it exists, we just don't know it. There, he's declared the Stone, the main character. One day he must kill the Viper or else, goodbye Earth.

Yep, there's nothing like random anime girls falling in love with you...over anything, crazy Yanderes, or that girl with the absurd charisma. But hey, at least he's able to level up, just like the RPGs. Will he find the true purpose of this cruel game or will the anime tropes consume him? The final boss awaits. ~A lover of character development... Warning: Edited by new series editor, Adam Luopa as of September 2019This book contains sexual content, sex scenes, monster girl quest references, sexual humor fit for anime fans, as well as other ridiculous fictitious events found in anime (and ramps up a lot after chapter 7). You have been warned. Not for the faintest of hearts! One more time: it is a comedy not for average mary-joe or morally sound. You have been double-warned and now know what you're getting into!
