Her name was Luna-Belle, and she was hopelessly addicted to Zenless Zone Zero. In her quest for the ultimate immersive experience, she had scouted a flea market and purchased a complete set of vintage VCR playback equipment. Unfortunately, the "second-hand" gear turned out to be a disaster, costing her everything.

When she finally regained consciousness, she wasn’t staring at a sterile hospital ceiling. Instead, she found herself staring into the gaping maw of a wolf monster—a creature she had only ever seen in fantasy works.

Luna-Belle closed her eyes, bracing for the end. But instead of death, the very device that had caused her accident appeared before her, hovering in the air. Its screen flickered with a faint, ghostly light, displaying a prompt:

"Dear Proxy, we have detected that you have one unused Encrypted Master Tape. Would you like to start Tuning?"

I apologize for not being able to update yesterday, an important family problem came up and I was away at the time.


But to make up for it, I'll be updating double the amounts of chapters tonight.
