The GGO Nexus Incident turned Gun Gale Online from a cutting-edge VR shooter into a digital prison. Millions of players logged in one fateful day, only to find themselves unable to log out. Death in the game no longer meant death in reality, but there was no escape either. Trapped indefinitely, they were forced to live within the game’s ruthless, lawless environment.

In this brutal world was Zairai, a nobody. He had no legendary feats, no rare weapons, and no notable skills to his name. Where players like Kirito and Asuna made headlines for their exploits, Zairai skulked in the background, scavenging and bartering to scrape by.

While others formed guilds, forged alliances, or fought for dominance, Zairai avoided conflict altogether. In a world filled with killers and glory-seekers, staying invisible was his survival strategy.

“Heroes die young,” he liked to mutter. “I plan to live long and useless.”
