Then, a soft voice:

"I love you… I need you…"

Zombie Avera appears—two horns, a ghostly elegance. Her attack comes swift with a deceptive Zombie Slash, bypassing Next's dodge and chipping his armor.

→ Next triggers Shadow Courage Combo + Multiple Slash, striking with sorrowful precision

→ The attack purifies her corrupted shell, revealing her true form

She collapses—then rises, no longer a monster, but a woman in tears.

"I was turned into a zombie by betrayal. You freed me."

The arena bends as Detrox emerges—a void-cloaked entity with satellite-linked corruption.

"I am Detrox, Level 20 Dark Void. Phase One has passed—but Phase Two begins now. I am fed by Satellite Viora, beyond this universe. You hold a similar power, do you not?"

Next steps forward, his aura pulsing with resolved memory.

"I am Next—the chosen Cyberverse Hero. The god of tech entrusted me with the Dimensional Train, and my mission is to purge the scarred satellites of the Jenkeo universe. You think I'm weak? I was an S-Class ranker in my past life. I clear games—no risks, no mercy."

Reward & Return

Next is ushered into the White Transition Zone. A shimmering train awaits—carrying him to Trail Edge Beta Server.

Scene: NPC Food Stalls, warm lanterns, aromas from game-world cuisine 🧑‍🍳 NPC Jake: "Welcome back, hero. Take off the suit. Eat. You cleared the first mission. You earned this."

Moments later, Avera, the beta conductor, arrives with a pass.

And from the glowing platform, Twinzee appears.

"Next, you gave us life. We're your companions now—your allies in every difficulty ahead."

Setting: Trail Edge Beta · NPC Food Zone

Tone: Reflective · Bittersweet · Heroic

Steam rises from warm bowls of soup. The trio—Next, Twinzee, and the enigmatic newcomer Silver—sit beneath paper lanterns, their shadows flickering across the digital hearth.

 Avera, the beta conductor, sets down her bowl softly. Her voice trembles:

"I once loved someone named Mkio. Trusted him in Castle Kyto. He used me… turned me into a zombie for gold, then vanished. That betrayal made me a monster." 🦇 Twinzee glances down, holding back haunted memories:

"I saw a note once. It said 'Don't touch.' I touched it anyway—to uncover a mystery. But it cursed me. Made me the Headless Dulhan. Pain without identity... Now, I feel light again."

From the quiet corner, Silver rises:

"I'm Silver. Not a ghost. Not just a soul—I'm a player now. I cannot log out."

His words cut through the silence. 🗡️ "Three years ago, I had power. I hunted criminals who defied justice. My guild turned on me—they feared me, called me cruel… and in their fear, they killed me." 🔥 "Revenge? No. I've buried it. But purpose? I have that. I'm now a Cyberverse Hero. And I'll protect this world. That's my vow."

Just then, a soft chime echoes—💌 New Mail Received:
