One of them is Alan Rhodes, a young man that very excited to be a beta tester of the game. Unfortunately, his life is in a downward spiral because he lost his job. He decides to sell his VR device to make ends meet.

Before that, he decided to get a small taste of that game by becoming a mage. He went on a little adventure in the sky and met new friends. Sadly, he had to leave the game forever in the end.

But something strange happened. Alan and the other players couldn't log out. 

Is that fantasy realm going to be Alan's new life?
Can he survive? Can he uncover why he and the others are trapped there?

Would his life be any better in that world?

Grand Azure Online

"I was quite surprised to see that she quickly became friends with Brunch," Celia muttered while looking at them. She crouched in front of a mound where she had planted the seed from Slylrieth. "I guess that's going to take a while."


"Perhaps her subconscious still remembers that Brunch is good." Alan is connecting a chunk of ground to his land. They need quite a vast land to plant crops, after all. "By the way, Celia. Have you been feeling like we're still in a game lately?"


The female fighter fell silent. Then, her chin dropped little by little. "Oh, my god. Yeah, we should still be in the game."
