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 vividly remembered what he did just now, so he couldn't delude himself into thinking he was hallucinating. He somehow felt unfair about it all.

"You're not affected by these souls?"

"The bloodlust thing that Adrian was talking about?"

"Maybe I feel a bit woozy in the head? And I don't mind the smell of blood that much. It even smells kinda good. Maybe coz it's because these bodies aren't rotting yet."

Lorn decided that it was just him that was getting affected too much.

"I'll ask about it when I get back, I guess."

Yara looked over. Since she understood the cause, she looked much calmer.

They gathered the souls, but Lorn wasn't in a hurry to absorb them. He wrapped them around with his own misty soul and dragged them to the town. Since they already killed their quota, there was no need for them to linger around.
