"Alone. That's what I've gone through in my life, well, mostly anyway. Turns out, when you join a school full of those who are really extroverted, you can't really be alone for more than a minute."

Game Announcer: One minute remaining before the beta test ends.

"You may be wondering... Who am I? Why am I telling you this? Well, you're going to find out."

A group of three players are seen running through an unknown dungeon, with one of them keeping an eye on the time, as the three of them were there to defeat the boss and open the door to the next floor before the beta ends. One of the players, who's using a scythe, attempts to hold back the boss until the other two deals with its minions. However, when all three attempted to surround the boss, it hit all of them with an AOE attack, pushing them back and paralyzing them.

Game Announcer: Thirty Seconds Remaining.

Before any of them could figure out what to do, or before the boss had a chance to attack, another player, wearing a white coat and black pants, rushes in, surprising the scythe wielder. Right as the boss swung its weapon, the player simple activated a sword skill, then, in a flash, the boss's head was soon cut off, killing it, as it bursts into pixels.

The player didn't stop there, after killing the boss, he quickly ran towards the door as fast as he could, as the paralysis on the other players finally wore off, allowing the scythe wielder to follow him

The player didn't stop there, after killing the boss, he quickly ran towards the door as fast as he could, as the paralysis on the other players finally wore off, allowing the scythe wielder to follow him. Once the player reached the door, the game announcer voice was heard once more, making the scythe wielder, who was still running, to try and go a little faster, as he watches the player open the door.

Game Announcer: Ten seconds remaining... Eight... Seven... Six... Five... Four.. Three... Two... One.

Right as the announcer finishes the countdown, the player who killed the boss was suddenly in a white void. He took a look around, taking in the emptiness, before giving himself a small stretch.

Game Announcer: This concludes the beta test. The full game will commence on November 6th at 1:00 PM. We'd like to thank our beta testers for their cooperation. Look forward to the official launch!

With that said, the player smiled, before his vision goes dark, then return, only this time, he's starring at the ceiling. He blinks a few times, his yellow eyes taking time to adjust, before he takes off his NerveGear and places it aside. The boy checked the time, and to his slight shock, he saw that it was nearly time for school. 

???: Shit, if I don't hurry, fucking Xsoleil is going to be on my ass, again!

He moved quickly to get dressed, which was his signature jacket that has a color pattern from bottom to top, arranging in blue, white and yellow. His hood was also yellow, which fit the top of the jacket. Underneath it was his blank white buttoned shirt. His bright blue jeans matched his attire along with his brown shoes. Once he was done, he went to a mirror he had, to make sure he looked good.
