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!

Gwen stood before the sensory deprivation tank, thinking. Reina was rapping away at her laptop, preparing to upload Gwen's consciousness into the One World.

'I wonder if I'll find my fated thing in the game?'

She smiled wryly. She did enjoy throwing herself into books, games and movies. But sadly, her investment for those things ended too quickly.

She needed to invest herself into something sustainable. She had the skills and smarts to work it out, so she just needed to find the thing that clicked.

Her hopes weren't so high after what happened recently.

After finishing her job with the treatment program, she joined the team that worked on the study of souls and skills. It was a study, not a development group, since most of it was managed by an AI. The control of souls and the creation of skills, it was all thanks to the transcendent processing power of that 'super AI'. Its code name was 'Fallen Comet'. For whatever reason.
