Hashirama Chiyo is a famous programmer and game developer who successfully created the world's first VRMMORPG named "The Sky, The Moon, and The Earth". On the day of the VR game's first launching an unexpected thing happened— a news that the game is involved in a conspiracy is broadcasted throughout the world and the players of the game became hostages of an unknown threat. 

Blamed for being the mastermind of this cynical plot, Chiyo plans to clear his name and dive into the world he himself created with the hope of finding the true culprit of this world-wide charade.


The Sky, The Moon, and The Earth

It's been a few months since the Virtual Gaming Incident, and my community service is still far from over. I'm currently helping the National Security by creating an augmented security program [Zero Gate] that is capable of detecting and responding to natural and human-induced threats. 


Also, last week. I met with Brother Toujou and Yumi, although that meeting had been awkward. Anyway, she and I decided to go to the movies this afternoon. 


As I was contemplating on my chair. Someone called my attention. "Chiyo-kun! Come with me for a second," Yuki-san said in a panicked voice. 


I deliberately stretched my arms and asked, "What happened?" 


"You need to see this," She said and showed me an image. "They seem to be playing some kind of warfare game…" 


"Do you know <Soul Acre>?" Yuki-san asked. 


"It was Korea's newly developed Virtual Reality Game. I remembered it was designed by Cytogen. Why?"
