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

Lorn's party appeared before the swirling golden gate, carrying a variety of resources on their carriage. This was the entrance to the Town of Kot, the D-rank Divine Trial that they needed to conquer.

Adrian stood nearby, reviewing the plan once more with the rest.

The C-rank wasn't going to be participating in this raid, as that would make things too easy for the group. However, Lorn and the rest weren't so worried, as three members of their party were as powerful as D-ranks with Yara ranking up. Only Danton was as strong as an E-rank, but his job was mostly scouting and guiding.

"Remember, the better you do, the better the rewards in the end, but if you fail once, you lose everything," Adrian finished.
