The Frail Girl Doesn't Die in Another World's Loot-and-Extract Runs

The immersive VR game Infinite quietly entered open beta. Using a non-invasive brain-computer interface, players could connect their consciousness to perilous worlds, complete missions, and evacuate with supplies. In an era flooded with VR games, Infinite initially went unnoticed, until a shocking truth set the world ablaze on the day of its open beta: items obtained by successfully evacuating from the game could actually be brought into the real world! The mini supercomputers that every player owned upended the global computing landscape. An experimental injection brought out by one lucky player granted them a lifespan beyond that of an ordinary human... As the wonders of the virtual world began seeping into reality, the game took the world by storm. Countless people rushed in, hoping to seize treasures that could change their fate. It had become a second life in every sense of the word. But greed spread, panic took root, and one item after another with unbelievable powers appeared in the real world, striking at the foundations of civilized society. The old order teetered, and an unprecedented collapse loomed. Now turn back to the day Infinite entered open beta. In a hospital bed somewhere, a terminally ill girl quietly downloaded the game on the VR equipment provided by the hospital for end-of-life care. The gears of fate began to turn.
