Gray Fog Day

In 2037 AD, a full-sensory immersive game called "The World" was born. With an unprecedented real experience, it quickly swept the world, with more than one billion registered players. The game's slogan "Second Life, Infinite Possibilities" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and governments and large-scale chaebols have also invested huge sums of money in their plans. However, on the seventh day of the game's official open beta, "Grey Fog Day" arrived. Without any warning, all online players around the world were forcibly pulled into the game, and their consciousness and body disappeared together, leaving only the cold game cabin in reality. At the same time, the virtual realm of "The Strange World" began to merge with the real world, strange scenes eroded the city, and legendary monsters appeared in the fog. The order of human civilization collapsed overnight, and the survivors struggled to survive in the ruins. The surviving people who were not online discovered that only by entering the game can they gain the power to fight against the mutation. The world has new rules since then. The whispers of ancient gods, urban legends, alienated lives, and the laws of collapse have all become a game field for survival and hunting. Those who successfully explore and survive in "The World" are called "players". They hunted strange creatures, collected "strange cores", and awakened "powers", trying to find a way to survive in the cracks of collapse and the truth about the origin of "The Strange World".
