"This damn life would be better off starting over!"

In 2077, the world’s political landscape was reshuffled and its economic system overhauled. While life expectancy rose, the epoch-making perfection of AI left more and more people without jobs, sharpening class tensions. In this turbulent climate, more and more people chose to waste their lives in the increasingly advanced virtual world rather than face a grim reality.

Seizing on the emptiness and despair of the Virtual Age, the gaming giant Company S developed a life simulation game called Riajuu Maker, priced at fifteen times the annual minimum wage. Informally, it was known as Life Restart.

In this game, players could freely customize their faces. Once Heaven Mode was activated, they could freely assign attribute points and become winners in life, indulging in a fantasy they could never experience in reality.

As a result, people’s goals in life shifted from buying a house and a car and retiring early to working for fifteen years to buy Life Restart and remain mentally connected to the game forever.

In just one year, the company that developed and published the game made a fortune. It seized the moment to indulge its capitalist greed, embracing the concept of the Metaverse and releasing a nostalgia-themed special edition at the same price: Riajuu Maker: Another World Edition. This special edition included major IPs such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Prince of Tennis, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Hunter x Hunter, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Players could revisit childhood memories and explore the different possibilities life might hold.

* Inspired by the game Life Restart Simulator.

1. Contains male rivalry and harem-style competition, but no female rivalry. No girls scheming against one another over men, no patronizing, chauvinistic attitudes, and no submissive wife types.

2. The players and the protagonist have lax moral standards and are pragmatic egoists.

3. Flirting is just a means to an end, and getting involved with men is just for fun. Treasure yourself and don't become lovesick.

Theme: Do not be a burden.
