An Kai paused just as he was about to open [Side Story]...
The [Main Story], which he normally treated as decoration, had finally changed today.
"A single-player closed beta?"
An Kai muttered, recalling a few things from his gaming days in his previous life.
He had heard rumors that some games invited influential people to experience them before the official open beta.
First, these veteran gamers could help identify bugs or features that might drive players away.

A single player...
An Kai had never seen that before.

Was he a piece of code now, or a person who truly existed?
What exactly was this game, Divine Punishment?
Countless mysteries swirled through An Kai's mind.

At that moment, a new, vague idea formed in An Kai's mind.
