Child of Light
Synopsis
Io's rather smart when it comes to tinkering with electronics, or solving complex equations. Until her sudden and impromptu departure from her previous home, the barren planet creatively named Earth-3, she was multiple years ahead of her peers in all of her studies, though she was only average when it came to athletics. A mishap during her travels takes her to a magical world like that of one of her virtual reality games. Actually, she's pretty sure it is a video game, but everything feels so real she's not sure how it's possible. When she accidentally releases a dark god, that's when she really starts to wonder if there's any way she can log out. A sprinkle of chaos, a dash of delusion, one tablespoon of bad luck and two cups of an adventure the likes of which she never thought possible makes something that Io would like to call a disast—her life.
