A system suddenly transports humanity's consciousness into a simulated world mirroring its own, with its future unfolding as the story of the simulation. The simulation concludes upon the player's death, and ordinarily, they wouldn't recall anything. However, there's an exception: a bug allows Akira to remember everything, but he perceives it as a glimpse into his future, believing he has traveled back in time.

"Mhm! I am beat. Let's take a rest."

"But…but these are crystals I dug nonstop to get."
