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

Gwen stood before her operating table, making sure everything was in order.

She was in the middle of paying homage to the creators of the first chimera, the mix between a lion, a goat, and a scaly reptilian tail. Except this time, all the parts were from the elite C-rank monsters.

Gwen did not do the goat's head like how history usually depicted it, with its neck. Instead, she merged their skulls together, so in the end the Chimera had one long skull and two faces, the lion's face unchanged and the goat's face upside down.

It was a necessary placement, as that was the most practical and comfortable way to grant it two heads. And it didn't even look that bad, since the lion's fur covered most of the goat's head and most of the time, only its face was visible.
