Wonders of Mundus, Part 1: Reborn on the Shores of Awakening

A closeted transgender woman is about to get way too into her favorite MMO.

It's 2047, and our protagonist wakes up face-down in the sands of the Shores of Awakening - a starter area of their favorite VRMMO, Another World Online: Mundane Phantasy Historia - as avatar Deedee Yeowoo, a foxgirl healer. Something's wrong - she can't log out, and as part of the late-game raiding guild Dungeon-Crawling And Chill, shouldn't be at first level. Moreover, she's not alone - at least some of her friends in the guild, as well as the innocent newbie and streamer Ace Striker, are along for the ride.

How can they survive such an adventure friendly - which is to say, violent and monster-filled - world? Why are they here? And why does this avatar feel more comfortable to Deedee Yeowoo's player than her real life body ever did?

Welcome to The Wonders of Mundus, a queer cyberpunk MMO isekai story about a journey of transgender discovery in the online realm of Mundus.
