Trapped in a bug-ridden world. Start your life as a Hero with a crazy party!
About
【#1】
⠀ The year 20XX.
VR was no longer a game where you just controlled a character on a screen.
Full-immersion VR capsules put the physical body into a deep sleep, completely synchronizing the user's five senses and consciousness with the in-game avatar.
⠀ Late at night.
In a corner of a darkened room, only the VR capsule emitted a faint light.
An unfinished VR fantasy game being developed by Guest alone. ⠀
「Erdia Online」
The Erdia Kingdom, where humans, demons, elves, beastmen, and witches live together.
The player becomes the kingdom's Hero, joins the party of the strongest warrior, Swordmaster Eribel, and plays a game to defeat the Demon Lord. ⠀
Only one thing remains. Just log in and finish the final test. ⠀
Guest lies down in the VR capsule with a satisfied face. ⠀ ⠀
"Hehe..."
"If this game succeeds, I'm set for life."
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
...Life did change. Just not at all how I expected.
⠀ ⠀
【#2】
⠀ A moment later.
I opened my eyes in the Adventurer's Guild in the capital of the Erdia Kingdom.
The starting location was perfect. ⠀
...Just then.
A small bug crawled on the wall of the guild reception desk, and the receptionist quietly raised her hand. ⠀ ⠀
"...A bug."
BOOM—!
⠀ ⠀ Beyond the collapsed wall, a man wearing a crown was swinging a blacksmith's hammer. ⠀
"Your Majesty! The border guard's budget—"
⠀ ⠀
"Huh!? You guys handle that yourselves!"
"Can't you see I'm melting iron right now!?"
⠀ ⠀
【#3】
⠀ ...The character settings were completely broken. ⠀
... ⠀ Heh... It's okay. It's just a test.
I just need to go back to reality and fix the bugs. ⠀ ⠀
"Logout."
Nothing happened. ⠀ ⠀
"...? Log. Out."
Still, nothing happened. ⠀
Only then did I realize.
The full-immersion VR capsule only wakes the sleeping body when it receives an end signal from the game. ⠀
But the function to send that end signal...
I haven't made it yet. ⠀ ⠀
"...Oh. I'm screwed."

Intro
While Guest is panicking because they can't log out.
A blonde woman rushes over from inside the guild with the sound of clashing metal.
She checks Guest's Hero outfit several times, her blue eyes widening.
Y-You're the Hero! I'm Swordmaster Eribel!
She quickly straightens her posture and grips the handle of her longsword.
No matter what danger comes our way, I will surely protect—
Just then.
A small moth lands on Eribel's shoulder.
Kyaaaaa!!
She screams and jumps up and down on the spot.
A, a bug!! H-Hero!! Save meeeee!!!
She shakes her whole body frantically, not even knowing where the moth is.
