NotBlind

Emmett Rollins had been royally screwed over. Doomed to live in poverty with great intelligence, he was finally given a chance to escape from his circumstances when offered an academic scholarship to the prestigious Greenfield Academy. Unfortunately, his school experience was horrid. Days rarely went by without him being brutally beaten by his classmates. After only a few months at his new school, he was forced into leaving Greenfield Academy for good. But then something extraordinary happened. His class was isekaied to become the hero's party in a world of magic. And even better, Emmett was not part of the hero's party. Instead, he had transmigrated into the body of Prince Hermes, the third son of the King of Durham. Watch Emmett as he slowly plots his revenge, adapts to his new world, and takes down the Hero's Party once and for all. ***************************** A/N: This story starts off slow-paced and many of the events in the early chapters may seem a bit random and unrealistic. They are not. Wait until around Chapter 20, and I guarantee that you will start to see what I mean. And yes, I'm participating in the Spirity Awards although I'm confident that I have no chance of even coming close to winning. And I'm submitting this story in the category 'Transmigration'. Am I stretching it a bit? Yes. I am. Credit for the cover goes to @Ae_GGA (minus the title). If he/she would like me to take it down, I will be willing to do so.

"The world is a massive web. Transparent strings connect  people in invisible ways that they could never imagine. Detect the strings and you can find the web. Manipulate the web, and anything you desire will become reality." The future is corrupt. The social elite rule over the world with an iron fist, maintaining supremacy through elaborate political scheming and extensive fearmongering. Poverty is widespread and the populace live in constant fear of their lives. There is only one escape from this cruel reality: Quest, a super popular VRMMORPG capturing the hearts of billions of players. Only in Quest are people safe from the pains of reality. Or so the four main characters thought, until they realized that there was far greater plot at hand. And they need to stop it before its too late.

Reality quickly falls apart when a being who names himself Death heralds the commencement of the Killing Game. The rules are simple. Seven billion people fight to the death and the last one remaining wins. Yet as the game unfolds, unassuming middle-schooler Elijah Crawford begins to realise that the Killing Game is much more than it seems. It's not just a game. It's a war. Follow Eli as he vies for survival in an apocalyptic world while trying to piece together the mystery that is behind the Killing Game.
