Isekai Punishment Program

In a dystopian future ruled by a corporate-led regime, justice is entertainment—and death wears the mask of redemption. Criminals are no longer executed in the open; instead, they are sentenced to VirtuNet, a full-immersion neural simulation where they play out twisted fantasy narratives tailored to reflect their crimes. Branded as villains, traitors, or monsters, these prisoners are cast into elaborate digital worlds where pain is real, death is final, and the audience watches every moment unfold. Behind the guise of "rehabilitation through narrative," VirtuNet is the state’s most efficient form of public execution—masked by magic, myth, and ratings.

Rein Ashlin was a tech-savvy girl who helped design these simulations—until she was accused of murdering her father and younger sister, then sentenced to the very system she once helped build. Now trapped in the body of Liliane Viermont, the disgraced daughter of a powerful noble house in a magic-steeped kingdom called Solmiris, Rein faces a familiar story: the villainess destined to fall. Betrayed, disinherited, and fated to die in a blaze of divine glory for the Saint’s rise, Rein has six months before the scripted story is set to start. But she’s not here to play along. Armed with partial knowledge of the system and a bitter defiance that burns brighter than the revenge she wants on the one who sesntenced her to this death, Rein plans to fight fate, exploit the rules, and corrupt the story from within—if she can survive the betrayals, daemons, and other horrors long enough to rewrite her own ending.
