The Protagonist Squad, but the Ghost King, Pillar, Crown Prince, and Pig

During the game's closed beta, I, Agatsuma Zenitsu, grinded my way to the highest Thunder Breathing swordsman achievement and became a marked, Transparent World, red-blade Thunder Hashira.

On the second beta test day, full of confidence, I brought along my classmates who had also gotten invitation codes, planning to carry them with my Thunder Hashira stats.

But after logging in, I looked at my title in the party list: [Marked Thunder Hashira]. Then I looked at Kamado Tanjiro's [Ultimate Demon King], and at Hashibira Inosuke's [Paradise Faith Leader 2.0 (Demon Edition)].

Agatsuma Zenitsu slowly typed a question mark.

We're all playing the same game. How come you guys all turned into demons?

Demon King Tan: Huh? Isn't this the xxx Simulator for Frieren? You can play from the Heian period all the way to the Taisho period.

Prince Pig: Huh? Some weird-eyed old guy gave me this account. What are all these skills? They're so hard to use.

Zenitsu, forced to team up with demons and unable to return to the Demon Slayer Corps (screaming in despair): Enough, you two stat monsters!!! Play properly! Why am I the only one carrying? Do some damage! You idiots, do some damage!!!

Eek, why is Master Tomioka in the Demon Slayer Corps?! Eek, eek, why are Master Shinazugawa and Master Iguro here too?! Wait, the Demon King has the same face as the councilman. Isn't there a portrait rights issue? What is going on with this game? Everyone's someone I know!

Theme: I don't get it. They shouted about friendship and bonds, then charged right in
