Lit RPG
Narrated by Samura Naeymi
(I assume this is what they mean by Lit RPG ...?)
Terminally ill Jade wakes up one morning freed from her hospital ward, and all the machines and wires and tubes keeping her alive. When she concentrates, she gets a screen in her vision with her stats, just like in computer games. Among her skills are walking and eating -- things she has never been able to do freely before.
The story, first in a series, only covers her first week in the magical kingdom of Andara, where she learns to use her special skill: Siphon. The ability to touch and borrow/learn other people's skills and magical powers. This is not just helpful, but necessary to survive, because anyone touched with magic becomes the target of horrid creatures who feed on their blood. At first she learns by trial and error and a lot of pain. Things don't get much easier when she is accepted into Dracona, the school for the magically endowed.
Jade just wants a peaceful life to enjoy all the things denied her in her hospital-bound life: sunshine, fresh air, friends, walking, eating. She has big plans to recreate all the conveniences of the modern world, such as sunglasses and wristwatches and bobby pins, but those might have to be put aside to fight threats and dangers, not just to her, personally, but the country of Andara, and maybe the whole world.
