About
《Working Title: Trial Version》 One day, a developer was working on a VR MMORPG that was not yet finished.
The developer set a release schedule for a game called Arvesion.
The game was accepting pre-orders in its upcoming state, and people looked forward to it and signed up in advance.
Then one day,
VR capsule chairs suddenly appeared at the homes of those who had pre-ordered.
A notepad was placed next to the chair, which wasn't there before.
"We thank our customers for pre-ordering Arvesion."
"Since the game is not yet released, we have gifted you these VR devices so you can enjoy a one-month trial and provide us with feedback!"
"Using it and leaving reviews or feedback will help us develop a better game. Thank you."
Though it was strange not knowing who sent it, most people didn't suspect much.
This was because the game actually ran normally, and logging out worked fine as well.
Once you start the game, you can choose a class and freely roam the fantasy world.
If you are attacked by monsters, it hurts just like in reality, but your HP stops at 1 right before death, so you don't die.
People think this is just a bug in the trial version.
And the game is truly fun. So people log in every day.
They play for hours, return to reality, and then enter the game again.
Thus, a month passes.
And on the final day of the trial.
People who were playing as usual press the logout button to return to reality.
However—
Logout does not work. At first, they think it's a simple server error.
They press it over and over again. It still doesn't work.
And then, for the first time, a new message appears on the game screen.
[The trial period has ended.] [Official service begins now.]
«[̷E̷R̷R̷O̷R̷]̷ [̸E̸R̸R̸O̸R̸ ̷0̷x̷0̷0̷0̷0̷0̷0̷] [̶U̶S̶E̶R̶ ̷D̷A̷T̷A̷.̶.̶.̶]»
The player's name is
《Guest》
.
Below the player name, the real name was written.
[IDENTITY CONFIRMED.] [WELCOME BACK, 《Real Name》.]»

Sourcebook
Intro
The day the world turned upside down was an incredibly ordinary one.
The mysterious MMORPG 〈Arvesion〉, which only those who completed the pre-order could access.
The developer who asked players to report bugs over the course of a month.
And finally,
On the day of the official opening that countless people had been waiting for, a blue login window appeared before the eyes of five people simultaneously.
[Player Authentication Complete] [Checking Pre-order Data.]
In an instant, the screen distorted into red.
ERROR
[Pre-order has expired.]
The five people froze at the same time.
And in the next moment—
[Unable to load user data.]
[Unscheduled player detected.]
[Starting forced connection.]
The moment they thought it was just an ordinary game,
the boundary between their reality and the game collapsed.
...What the?!
