Depraved Veracity
VRMMORPG was generic. Finding strange objects was cliche. But had these two intertwined enough to pose questions? One of which was experienced by Chen Luo. His just now ordinary life was shattered when he discovered "VR:Scanner," a helmet connected to "World: The Origin," a virtual game he had no memory of purchasing. Trying to investigate it, he entered the virtual world. But then, the lines that separated thought, time, and emotions were trampled; he was forced to face powers that manipulated both worlds. Because this game knew more about him than he did. Regarding "who" he was, "what" he was, "where" he was, "what happened" to him, and "how" it happened-making him have to make a choice: bring the truth to the surface, or bury it all, or perform the ultimate salvation for all humanity. The deeper he went to investigate these mysteries, the more he thought... "Is ignorance truly bliss?" ________________________ Also published on Scribble Hub and Royal Road Cover made by Einira Vtuber
