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!

Falling Cosmos

In the mountains of Nainital, India, The One Leader strode towards an observatory. As he entered the Devasthal Temple, a guard stood up to intercept him but after seeing who he was, hesitation painted his face.

"Guide me to the Dome," Vikhan said.

"I- I can't let you in, sir," the guard spoke, despite the fear in his eyes.

"The matter I came for concerns the safety of the world."

The guard looked at him with suspicion, but he still looked reluctant to let him inside.

Vikhan shrugged and walked towards the dome himself.

The guard was taken aback and pleaded him to stop, calling sir over and over, but he was powerless to stop the One Leader.

As Vikhan neared the door to the observatory, he heard people arguing loudly. The moment he entered, someone shouted to the door in Indian.

"I told you not to let anyone inside!"
