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!

Lorn wanted to sigh. It turns out that the people of Belo had no idea either and were actually hoping for him to solve the problems.

In a situation like this, he rather wanted to put himself out of the picture and just see what was going on from afar. But he couldn't really do that now, considering his identity.

'I thought I would just be a fake hero, but who would've thought that I would be called out on the first day on the job?'

Lorn kept himself from frowning and spoke.

He left soon afterwards. He met the other Guildmasters in the city and the contents of the talk inevitably steered towards Han Jihye. Do you know anything? What are her skills? What was she like back on Earth?

Naturally, everyone was curious. The ones who had Status Check tried to use it on Jihye, but the three B-rank vice-masters of the Mage Guild were quick to dispel such attempts. They were all B-ranks, they had their methods.

Mounting curiosity
