The Playboy's Halo

A man crosses into a world that runs like a game, and a bright halo marks him as the interloper everyone desires and nobody should trust. The joke is the power. Charm opens doors that skill did not earn, and a growing company of admirers treats the mark as fate. He enjoys the misunderstanding more than is wise. / The halo can be a blessing, a target, or a rule the game will eventually collect on. Allies won by glitter are not the same as allies who will stay when the light fails. The next stage will show whether he can win anything once the halo stops doing the talking.
