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

That was the conclusion that Lorn came to.

<Ugh. But what does he want to do himself? He's been with us for who knows how long, but he's constantly festering his hate for me… Why is he even here?>

It was weird. What was the point of staying with someone you hate to the core? Danton must've been trying to do something to Lorn, right?

At least there was one good news.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Pavel would feel something when he's constantly dragging the team to the ground.

<Alright. I guess you can lay it out to him when we reach Iaki city.>

<Okay, I'll contact you when we're separated.>
