In the year 2173, the world's first Full-World Virtual MMORPG game 'Astral Online' changed the face of the blue planet Asteria. With its revolutionary Digital Capture System, players could scan themselves into the game with up to 20% beautification, and millions flocked to play it.

The game's popularity skyrocketed with the introduction of the Real Money Trading (RMT) system, and professional players formed guilds and factions to increase their profits. 

But this prosperity was short-lived, as players began to fuse with their avatars, gaining powerful abilities in the real world that tipped the balance of power and caused chaos.

Two years later, demons and monsters from inside the game invaded the real world, decimating over 90% of humanity.

The remaining survivors were left hiding in fear, unable to fight back against the invaders.

Zell was an average player who spent most of his life working overtime to make ends meet; although he inherited a wonderful house thanks to his parents, most of his wages went to the property tax and food bill. 

He found solace in collecting beasts in the game and evolving them into humanoids, primarily females. 

When the end came, he was powerless and alone, with only his pets and Rika, his cherished Flame Rabbit, as his companions.

In a final act of bravery, Zell saves the life of a strange girl with white wings, sacrificing himself. 

But instead of dying, he awoke in an empty white room with a single computer and a game-like screen that allowed him to edit his IRL avatar and persona.

Zell's second chance at life came with a mission: survive. But who gave him this second chance, and for what reason? Could he meet Rika again, or was she lost forever? 

As Zell navigates this dark new world, he must confront the harsh realities of survival, facing danger at every turn and making difficult choices to determine his fate.

Zell discovered that after he evolved his race, the quality of his blood and fluids increased greatly, and any humanoid or beast that took in his fluids would have a high chance of surrendering to him. Thus, he planned to use these to slowly create a powerful guild of non-humans and NPCs.

'I wonder if my thinking is wrong; let's consider helping people like that boy and his sister. They should probably be quite strong by now. Let's have Cynthia look for them...'

His reason for choosing NPCs over players was simple; the players had ambitions and hopes, and they were yet to experience the true horror of the world after merging.

The NPCs have all already lost their homes; knowing the terror of demons, would they truly act as arrogant as humans? Plus, his way was much gentler than the so-called gods.
