Chapter 0: Prologue
Occasionally, while living, don’t you ever have such thoughts?
The moments spent recklessly in youthful ignorance…
Or the meaningless times wasted wandering aimlessly, pushed by society—wishing you could turn them into something valuable.
[Hey, you.]
I, too, am someone who spent around 10,000 hours over 10 years playing a game.
If I were given the chance to make use of that time, I would obviously try to seize it.
[Who are you?]
[I’m the developer of the game you’re playing.]
Yeah, perhaps this moment is exactly that opportunity.
When I suddenly received an unexpected message, I couldn’t help but reply with a faint glimmer of hope.
[Could it be that?]
[Yeah.]
And just like that, I was dragged into the game, stripped of all hesitation.
