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

Han Jihye narrated a riveting story about how much she was wronged when she first came to the Manipulator's Guild. Even though the other Undying received so many benefits, almost always, the former Guildmaster would exclude her.

She thought that it was just a coincidence, that her turn was coming soon, but her hopes were dashed when she realized that the Guildmaster was actively trying to mess with her progress, giving her the simplest jobs and Divine Trials and allocating the least amount of resources to her.

Since Jihye knew that her future wouldn't be bright if things went on like this, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

This and that happened, and she received the skillset of a human Manipulator.

She didn't speak about how exactly she took control over the three Guildmasters, but she allowed Lorn to reveal her skills.
