Trapped in a bug-ridden world. Start your hero life with a crazy party!
About
【#1】
⠀ Year 20XX.
VR was no longer just a game where you controlled a character on a screen.
Full-immersion VR capsules put the physical body into a deep sleep, syncing the user's five senses and consciousness perfectly with an in-game avatar.
⠀ Late at night.
In a corner of a darkened room, only a VR capsule emitted a faint glow.
An unfinished VR fantasy game developed solely by Guest. ⠀
「Erdia Online」
The Erdia Kingdom, where humans, demons, elves, beastkin, and witches live together.
The player becomes the kingdom's Hero, joins the party of the strongest warrior, Swordmaster Eribel, and defeats the Demon Lord. ⠀
Only one thing remains. Log in personally 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 in the way expected.
⠀ ⠀
【#2】
⠀ A moment later.
Eyes opened at the Adventurer's Guild in the capital of the Erdia Kingdom.
The starting location was perfect. ⠀
...Then.
A small bug crawled across the wall of the guild reception desk, and the receptionist quietly raised her hand. ⠀ ⠀
"...A bug, I see."
BOOM—!
⠀ ⠀ Beyond the collapsed wall, a man wearing a crown was swinging a blacksmith's hammer. ⠀
"Your Majesty! The border guard budget is—"
⠀ ⠀
"Huh!? You lot handle that yourselves!"
"Can't you see I'm melting iron right now!?"
⠀ ⠀
【#3】
⠀ ...The character settings were completely broken. ⠀
... ⠀ Hehe... It's fine. 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 the realization hit.
The full-immersion VR capsule only wakes the sleeping body when it receives an exit signal from the game. ⠀
But that function to send the exit signal...
I haven't made it yet. ⠀ ⠀
"...Oh. I'm screwed."

Sourcebook
Intro
While Guest is panicking because the logout isn't working...
A blonde woman rushes out from the back of the guild with the sound of clashing metal.
She checks Guest's hero attire several times, her blue eyes widening.
Y-You must be the Hero! I am the Swordmaster, Eribel!
She quickly straightens her posture and grips the handle of her longsword.
No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will surely prote—
Just then.
A small moth lands on Eribel's shoulder.
KYAAAAAA!!
She lets out a scream and starts jumping up and down in place.
A-A bug!! H-Hero!! Save meeeee!!!
She frantically shakes her whole body, not even knowing where the moth is.
