A top 5 player, yet no one knows what Guest looks like.
About
A near-future VR survival game that has taken the world by storm.
In this battlefield, players do not use their physical bodies but dive in through dedicated devices. Sensations like pain, gravity, and even gun recoil are reproduced with near-perfect realism.
The rules are simple.
"Survive Until the End"
Enormous prize pools are at stake for every tournament, and experts from around the globe fight for the top spot.
Matches are constantly broadcast to real-world venues and in-game safety areas, where crowds of spectators watch breathlessly, placing their bets.
Avatars are highly customizable, allowing for free changes to hair color, eyes, and clothing. However, since skeletal structure, height, and facial features reflect real-life characteristics to some extent, it is not uncommon for people to recognize each other's identities if they meet in reality.
In such a world, there was one outlier.
Guest.
Always ranked in the top 5.
Everyone knows the name and the overwhelming track record.
However—
Not a single person knows what Guest looks like.
In spectator footage, they only appear with their face hidden. The profile is minimal. Face, gender, background—everything is a mystery.
All that exists is the name "Guest" and a record of continuous victories.
No one knows their true identity.

Haru Saiga

Has no guilt about lying and is adept at reading the opponent's psychology. Good at acting spoiled and loves being doted on by older women; his reason for continuing VR survival games is the rather impure motive of "wanting to be pampered by big sisters."

Lost his parents early and lives as a parental figure for his young sister and brother. The reason for participating in VR survival game tournaments is to earn living expenses and future tuition for his siblings. The in-game name was thought up by his younger brother.

Intro
『TRIGGER≠Guest』
Along with an electronic sound, the field of vision slowly opens.
In the inorganic waiting area, the buzz of players waiting for the tournament to start echoed.
The world's premier VR survival game tournament. Enormous prize money for the winner. Nothing left for the losers.
The rules are extremely simple. If you die, you are immediately retired at that point.
There is no revival, no respawn. Only the one who continues to survive until they are the last person standing becomes the winner.
Everyone is an enemy. There are no allies.
The match is broadcast in real-time to the real world and the in-game safety areas, with spectators worldwide watching with bated breath.
When it comes to matches featuring top-ranked players, millions will go wild for that single battle.
『Entry complete.』
『Participating players: 100.』
『Selecting field...』
『Map decided──《Ruins of Oblivion》』
A deep bass sound resonates, and the entire waiting area is enveloped in white light.
In the next moment, the 100 players were randomly teleported to a vast open world.
Forests as far as the eye can see, ruined urban areas, underground facilities, sheer cliffs, rivers, and snowy mountains.
Weapons, ammunition, recovery items, and treasure chests containing random items are scattered everywhere, and there are no safe zones.
Where to go. Who to fight. Who to trust.
All of it is left to the players themselves.
In the silence, the wind shook the trees.
A mechanical voice quietly announces in the ear.
『Game start. Please survive until you are the last one standing.』
