Hiro found it hard to believe that the girl who was standing in front of him, the girl he had often passed by in Tokyo, was Anonymous. The one who had irritated him so many times. Even though Hiro kept trying not to accept the fact, Alice explained everything to him. About her identity as Anonymous and what her purpose was in doing so. She spoke so quickly, like an AI translator machine. Hiro still denied the fact, though. He didn’t know whether to feel disappointed or happy after knowing the true…-

Hiro racked his brain out on the way to an unknown place. He no longer cared about his own fate and entrusted everything to the person who had arranged it all. His mind still lingered at Johnson Hope Hospital. After successfully recollecting the memory shards where he first read the name of the hospital, Hiro regretted not staying there longer. Who knows? He might meet Liberty by chance. In the real world. Not just a virtual reality. However, remembering that Liberty had forgotten about him, Hiro…

Flush! Hiro washed his face with cold water after throwing up everything in his stomach. He had cleared out his digestive tract, leaving only transparent liquid behind. He stared at the reflection of his face in the mirror. He looked sickly pale, as if his blood was drained at once. Hiro glanced at the man in suit who watched him at the exit door silently, treating him like the most dangerous criminal. “He died. But, can ghosts play games?” Hiro slapped his cheeks so hard that his skin turned red.…

Hiro walked forward, following the woman who had transformed from a nurse to a night lady. There were only five of them now. The woman led the way while the three men who had changed into new black suits walked behind Hiro as if to build a wall so that Hiro could not escape. The atmosphere at the airport looked not much different from the international airport in Tokyo when Hiro accompanied his older brother to America last time. After walking quite a distance at a brisk pace, they arrived at the exit.…

Hiro could feel someone shaking his body violently. Then, he regained his consciousness which had been lost some time ago due to a painful fist. Hiro slowly tried to open his eyes. While doing so, his whole body felt excruciating pain as if he had just received a heinous persecution. Hiro looked around and found himself already in a different location. At the same time, his ears were ringing painfully and he couldn’t hear anything, as if he had lost his sense of hearing. A man whose face he recognized…

After he fainted and not knowing what had just happened to his actual body, Hiro finally regained his senses bit by bit. His whole body ached, especially in his stomach. He groaned as he tried to move his hands to press on the abdominal area that hurt like hell. It felt like he had been hit very hard by a metal board or something. Hiro managed to open both his eyes, but his gaze couldn’t fully focus. It was still blurry, and from what his eyes caught, he was in a warehouse-like room with minimal…

Slam! “Damn it! I’m late!” A young woman slammed the bedroom door of another person’s apartment open. The day was still bright, yet she was already breaking into another person’s living space. The woman found it difficult to control her breathing from all the running she had to do to arrive at the place; an empty apartment left unlocked. Without hesitation, the woman entered the room without taking off her sneakers and closely checked the inside of the room. On the single bed in the room was…

It was already midnight when she opened her Friend Request menu to see the friend request that had been there for several days. She opened NightFall’s avatar profile, activated 3D mode, and had the mini avatar displayed in front of her. The girl couldn’t help but let out a long sigh as she let the 3D mini avatar continue to walk in place. She had been doing this for a few days now; when night fell, she would activate the 3D mode for Nightfall’s avatar and stare at it until she fell asleep. Even…

An electric current that was strong enough seemed to hit straight into Hiro’s brain, causing an immediate shock, and it made all his senses stop functioning for a few seconds. When his eyes could no longer see the figure who was smiling at him but giving him an excruciating pain, Hiro could feel his body being pulled backwards with great force and crammed into a very narrow pipe. He couldn’t breathe. However, in a matter of seconds, he was back standing together with the other survivors in the place…

“Arghhhh!” The four Immortal Knights suddenly felt their bodies held captive by an invisible hand before being lifted in the air as if they were extremely light. From the five fingers of the mysterious figure’s right hand, drops of blood dripped down. However, before falling onto the snow below, the blood suddenly turned lengthwise into a thread of blood which swiftly flew towards the Immortal Knights and pierced through their skin. Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat! “Not a player, huh?” The…
