Synopsis

Nathan Kim is ripped from his world and dropped into another, trapped inside someone else’s body. He inherits that man’s violent reputation and a mercenary band who call him Boss. To survive, he must bluff his way through dungeon threats, dangerous encounters, and fragile alliances while under the scrutiny of Kieran, a guild commander who has openly sworn revenge on the man Nathan is now forced to impersonate.

Powerless and with no clear path home, Nathan navigates a world built on magic, suspicion, and shifting loyalties. Every step is shaped by the danger of being seen as someone he is not and by the enemies he never meant to inherit.

A progression fantasy isekai with a body-swap twist and BL-flavor slow-burn romantic tension. The story blends identity conflict, emotional depth, and a layered, evolving world. The M/M relationship unfolds gradually and naturally over time.

This is not a romance-focused or smut-forward story.

Updates Thursdays and Sundays!
