Tormented by loan sharks, Lorn had lived the life of an 'ascetic'. He would willingly become homeless and live the life of a beggar (and only sometimes a pickpocket), so his hard-earned money wouldn't fall into his debtors' hands. Hopefully, they would finally leave him alone after realizing he's worth nothing anymore.

But realizing his plans, the debtors decide to sell him as a guinea pig! 

The One Country's grand experiment attempting to copy a human's consciousness and put it inside the digital space! The only catch is, 80% of the test subjects are expected to receive lasting damages to their brain. 

However, Lorn finds a once-in-a-lifetime chance. The researchers were creating a virtual world using the digital space. And to create profits from it, instead of simply creating boring-old Virtual Earth (and calling it the Metaverse), they were making a game out of it!

The first fully immersive VRMMORPG in the world!

As the first tester of this game, Lorn would be a disgrace if he couldn't make money off of it!

"Let is then continue our training," Lucas said. "I've also thought of your next task."


Lorn's spirit was almost refilled, but he felt somewhat reluctant to get up. Since the last task was so difficult to achieve, he couldn't imagine what the next one would be like.


"Your next task is to use Four-strike Counter on me."


"What?" Lorn thought he was hearing wrong.


"Use Graceful Cuts on me four times and activate Four-strike Counter."


"How do you expect me to do that? At this point, I wouldn't even be able to use Graceful Cuts on you."


At the start of the sparring session, Lorn took Lucas by surprise by immediately using Graceful Cuts. That bought him an extra 0.5. Graceful Cuts took 15 seconds to activate, while Lucas's Effect and Cause needed 15.2 seconds to manifest on Lorn.
