Synopsis
Takuma Sakamoto spent the latter part of his life dedicating as much time as possible to the MMORPG, Cross Reverie. His addiction ran so deep that his in-game skills became legendary, and those skills served him well when he was isekai’d into the game. Those skills worked even better when his two hot, would-be summoners ended up as his slaves! But while Takuma’s powers are unrivaled in his new home, his filthy NEET personality is still sadly present. So what does he do? He adopts his in-game persona and travels to free his now-enslaved summoning waifus!
