[Scene: A teenager running on a sports field]
Diopha (voice-over):
— Hey there! Wondering who that handsome, athletic, super-charismatic guy is?
Yeah… that's me — Diopha Hitari!
Okay, not the guy sprinting up front… that's a damn monster.
I'm the one lagging behind, drenched in sweat, one breath away from collapsing.
(Slow-motion collapse. Dramatic fall.)
— Boom. KO.
Don't worry — it's just for laughs.

[Cut to: Infirmary]
— Name's Diopha Hitari. 17 years old. 1.80m. Athletic level: trash.
But in video games? I'm a god.
Top 1 VR player in Reality Kingdom Online.
They call me Artemis.
(Mental system interface pops up)

— Branch: Solo Player

Diopha (thinking):
I've inherited the powers of an overpowered manga character.
But my system has them sealed. Too unstable. Too deadly for me right now.

[Flashback — March 11, 3005]
(The sky cracks open. A dimensional rift appears. Monsters pour out.)
Diopha (voice-over):
— That day… everything changed.
No one saw it coming. No scientist, no genius.
They called it the Dungeon Break.
— Half of humanity was wiped out.
But those who survived… awakened powers.
Abilities tied to their deepest habits and true passions.
— Me? I was just a guy obsessed with games and manga.
(He stands alone before a monstrous horde. Freeze frame.)
— I took down 25 of them.
Alone.
Because of him…
(Blurry figure of Zenkai Shin behind him.)
