[Horror monster, unhinged NPC male leads x pitiful heroine]
In 2066, full-dive games mutated. Unknown substances far beyond the mortal world possessed NPCs and grew wildly within them. In the secret lairs hidden inside the game, the mutated characters, "They," waited hungrily for the precious little darling they were about to devour.

Gu Xi is the top data shredder at the Full-Dive Virtual Machine Recovery Bureau. She specializes in resolving problems with NPCs in games that have broken through the fourth wall, completely reversing their mutations in games of every genre, or simply erasing them.
-
A popular, long-running realistic full-dive Cthulhu otome game, Paradise Lost, was flagged for a highly dangerous mutation. When it was handed to Gu Xi, its scripts were corrupted on a massive scale.
Even more strangely, several male characters beloved by players everywhere had vanished from the game. Their .chr character files remained, but they had completely disappeared from players' view.

Gu Xi completely deleted the mutated core male characters, then inserted clean, identical versions of them from the backup.
Just as she finished, a delivery arrived. Frowning, Gu Xi opened the elegant packaging, though she couldn't remember ordering anything. A corner of the Portrait of the Wilde Rose showed inside.
-
Hidden beneath the deliveryman's cap, the corners of his mouth lifted. His forked tongue, like a snake's, licked his lips, and slick scales could just be seen on his arm.
At the same time, Gu Xi failed to notice the static that had suddenly appeared on the monitor behind her desk, or the few tiny lines of text flickering rapidly across it.
