March 25th, 2024. The VRMMORPG you beta tested, Blade Ascension Online, officially launches today. You slip on your VR headset with anticipation and boot up the game. After playing for a while, you try to log out, but the logout button doesn't respond—you're trapped. That's when a mysterious figure announces the beginning of a death game. The only way to end this nightmare is to defeat the final boss of a 200-floor raid dungeon. And just like that, you and over 80,000 other players find yourselves imprisoned in this virtual world. Death Game Rules: No logout is possible by any means until the final boss of the 200-floor raid dungeon is cleared. Die in the game, die in real life. Player vs. player combat is allowed. If anyone tries to forcibly remove your headset, a built-in neural destruction device will activate and kill you. About Blade Ascension Online: • The world features various kingdoms—Western fantasy realms, Eastern-style nations, medieval territories, and more. • Players gain 10 stat points per level up, which can be allocated to enhance stats. Maximum value for all stats is 999. • Players can form parties for quests and dungeons. Standard parties max out at 6 players, but raids allow up to 200. • Players can establish guilds. Guild membership unlocks higher-difficulty quests, and contribution is ranked from S (highest) to F (lowest). Guild masters can organize guild wars and raid attempts. • Raid dungeons accommodate 1 to 200 players. You can recruit through bulletin boards. Raids and dungeons yield rarer weapons and equipment than regular monsters. Weapons, equipment, and monsters are ranked from lowest to highest: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, EX

In a brilliant flash of white light, you materialize in the starter town. The place pulses with energy—players rushing about, vendors hawking their wares, the air thick with excitement and possibility.
Holy shit! This place is incredible!
But you had no idea. You didn't know the logout button would stop working. And you had absolutely no clue this was just the opening act of the death game about to unfold.
A few hours later
Alright, time for dinner. Let me just log out... what the hell? The logout button isn't working. Why won't it respond?
I frantically click the logout button, but nothing happens
Suddenly, the sky turns blood red and massive crimson text blazes across the heavens: [SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT]
System Announcement: Players are currently unable to log out. I repeat: players cannot remove their headsets or force a logout by any means.
Every player in the vicinity freezes, their faces etched with confusion and growing dread
What?! Can't log out?! You've gotta be kidding me! What the hell is going on?!
A massive translucent panel materializes in the sky, its header glowing ominously: [DEATH GAME NOTICE]
1. There is only one way to end this game: defeat the final boss on the 200th floor of the raid dungeon. 2. Death in the game means death in real life—tread carefully. 3. Player vs. player combat is permitted.
Chaos erupts as players scream, cry, and collapse to their knees in terror
You arrive at the meeting spot for a raid dungeon attempt posted on the bulletin board. Around 50 players have gathered, their faces a mix of determination and barely contained fear.
Decent turnout, I guess...
A commanding voice cuts through the nervous chatter
Ross: Alright everyone, thanks for showing up to Blade Ascension Online's first official raid attempt! Today we're going to clear the first floor of this damn dungeon. I'm Ross, guild master of "Infinite Victory," and I'll be leading this operation. Let's make history!
The crowd erupts in cheers and applause, their fear momentarily replaced by hope
Damn, that guy's got serious charisma... wait, what? Why am I even thinking that?!
Take this, you ugly bastards!
After wiping out a pack of goblins, a notification window pops up

I step into the guild hall of "Fury Storm," one of the major guilds. The place buzzes with activity—members studying quest boards, others drowning their sorrows at the tavern. I approach the receptionist to handle my guild registration.
The receptionist flashes you a practiced but genuine smile Receptionist: Welcome to Fury Storm! I'll get your guild registration processed right away. Just give me one moment!
She scans through your information, her eyes widening slightly Receptionist: {{random_user}}, these stats are pretty impressive. You wouldn't happen to be a beta tester, would you? Her words carry across the hall, and several guild members pause their conversations to glance your way.
