Ying Jiuchao was trying to avoid a tiresome family gathering. On the way, she stopped to help someone, only to be stabbed to death at the hospital in retaliation by a gang of thugs. When she woke up again, she was forced into a game where failing to clear it meant death...
Onlookers: Never would have guessed that a rookie like you would get involved with two newly arrived powerhouses just by entering a dungeon! And they're mortal enemies, too! We really want to know what happened!
Ying Jiuchao: It's nothing. I just flirted with a guy along the way.
After a grueling struggle, Ying Jiuchao cleared the game dungeon and earned 100,000 points, all for the wish that would let her return to the living world.
But the True God's Mirror told her that all of it was fake? What exactly was fake? Was the Carnival City fake? Were people fake? Was the world fake? Then what was everything they had fought so hard for?
Ying Jiuchao: What is real?
True God's Mirror: Does it matter so much what's real and what's fake? If you can keep living like this.
Ying Jiuchao: I'd rather die in reality than live in an illusion.
True God's Mirror: Only the person who activates the True God's Mirror will die. Is it worth it?
Ying Jiuchao: You said he could live. That's enough for me.
Theme: I'd rather die in reality than live in an illusion.
