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

Falling through the gaps in Eldoria's code felt like being torn apart and reassembled with each passing moment. Colors that shouldn't exist flashed past them, while mathematical equations wrote themselves in the air only to dissolve into pure light. Kael held tight to Lira's hand, knowing instinctively that separation here could mean being lost forever in the void between realities.

"Don't look directly at anything!" Lira shouted, her voice somehow carrying through the digital chaos. "This is raw data - unprocessed reality. Your mind isn't meant to comprehend it!"

But Kael was already seeing patterns in the chaos. The memory fragment pulsed in his grip, helping him decode the streams of information rushing past. He saw glimpses of other versions of Eldoria - past resets, failed attempts, worlds that might have been.

Their descent slowed as they approached what appeared to be a solid surface made of crystallized code. Lira guided their landing, her movements suggesting she'd done this many times before.

"The Undernet," she explained as they touched down on the impossible surface. "A network of paths that exists in the spaces between Eldoria's base code. The Debug Knights can't navigate here - too much corruption for their systems to handle."

The landscape around them defied description. Mountains of data rose into a sky made of binary, while rivers of pure information flowed through valleys of glitched terrain. Everything shifted constantly, like a world refusing to settle on a single form.

"This is how the resistance moves undetected," Lira continued, already leading them along a path that shimmered in and out of existence. "Most of us who are awake learned to navigate these paths out of necessity. The Debug Knights may control the surface, but down here... down here we're free."

Kael followed her lead, though each step felt like walking on air. "The resistance? There are more like us?"

"More than you'd think. Each reset leaves cracks in the system, and through those cracks, consciousness slips in. We find each other, help each other survive." She paused, looking back at him with an unreadable expression. "Though none of us have ever seen someone like you before - someone who remembers the time before the first reset."
