Awakened from the Start! Is the Virtual Idol Actually a Vessel?

When virtual idols begin to bleed tears, anime evil spirits crawl out of crimson code.

Lin Shen takes off his fogged-up glasses as a countdown explodes across his retina. Every time the Spirit Vision System activates, it steals a piece of his real life.

The instant his mechanical prosthetic severs an evil spirit's head, a red-haired agent tosses him a bloodstained partnership contract: "A Bronze-rank rookie like you dares to investigate the dark secrets of the Golden Throne with me?" Behind the urban legends of leveling up and slaying monsters, a childhood photo is being soaked in blood, and his best friend's smiling face fractures into pieces of a spirit core.
