In a fantasy world called Eldoria, a young man named Kael lived as an ordinary NPC (Non-Player Character) in the small town of Arindale. However, everything changed when he suddenly realized that his world was nothing but a broken simulation. Every 100 years, this world would reset, and the memories of all its inhabitants would be erased. Kael, who had miraculously gained awareness, discovered that he could collect Memory Fragments—pieces of memories from previous resets. With this ability, he began to uncover the horrifying truth behind Eldoria.

But Kael was not alone. The Debug Knights, an antivirus program tasked with maintaining the stability of the simulation, started hunting him down, considering him an anomaly. Together with a group of heroines, each harboring their own secrets and motivations, Kael must find a way to stop the reset cycle before their world is erased forever.

The Last Save Point

The name sent ripples through Kael's recovered memories. The Last Save Point - a place that existed outside the normal bounds of Eldoria's simulation, a sanctuary created before the first reset. Images flashed through his mind: a towering structure of pure light, walls made of crystallized code, and something else... something important that remained just out of reach.

"It's real?" he asked, gripping the memory fragment tighter as the Seekers' presence distorted the cabin's reality around them.

Lira nodded, her silver hair catching the light of disintegrating code. "It's more than real - it's where everything began. And ended. The place where The Architect made their last modification to Eldoria's base code before implementing the reset system."

The cabin's walls began to dissolve into streams of data as the Seekers' influence grew stronger. Through gaps in reality, Kael could see their dark forms moving with predatory grace, their armor absorbing glitches like black holes in the fabric of the simulation.

"But reaching it won't be easy," Lira continued, retrieving a small crystal from a drawer that kept shifting between different states of existence. "The path there runs through the most corrupted parts of Eldoria - places where the simulation's rules break down completely. Most who try don't survive the journey."

A massive tremor shook the cabin, making the furniture phase in and out of existence. The Seekers were close now, their presence eroding the sanctuary's protective algorithms.

"We don't have a choice," Kael said, new memories surfacing with urgent clarity. "The fragment... it's showing me something. The Last Save Point isn't just a sanctuary - it's a key. To understanding why the resets began. To stopping them."

Lira's eyes widened. "You remember? But that's impossible. Those memories were purged in the first reset."

"Not purged," Kael corrected, understanding flowing through him like electricity. "Fragmented. Scattered across Eldoria in pieces, waiting to be found. And now they're coming back."

The cabin's final wall began to dissolve just as the first Seeker's blade pierced through reality itself. Lira grabbed Kael's hand, pulling him toward a section of floor that rippled like water.

"Then we run," she said, her voice carrying both determination and fear. "We run, we survive, and we find the truth. Together."

They plunged through the floor just as the cabin collapsed into streams of corrupted data behind them, falling into the space between realities where the rules of Eldoria held no power. Above them, the Seekers' haunting cry echoed through layers of broken code, promising that the hunt was far from over.
