Synopsis
What does it mean to be alive?
Savior Online was the pinnacle of next-generation full-dive VRMMO entertainment. Or, it was, until a rogue employee and a hacker collective teamed up to trap all of its players in the game. Their only escape was the rogue employee's fail-safe: defeat the Demon King and clear the game. Easy enough - except now, after the hackers' meddling, death in the game meant death in real life.
After four years of grueling grinding, planning, and preparation, the best of the game’s high-level players - known as “The Vanguard” - assaulted the Demon King’s fortress at the edge of the world in a bid to free themselves - and lost. Now, five years on, the game’s disparate survivors have forged new lives in the game with the understanding that the Demon King will never fall, and they will never escape.
Lucas, one of the few surviving Vanguard members, idles his life away in solitude in his mountain hermitage. His dispassionate life is interrupted one day when a relic of his past returns with news of his old comrade’s passing - and possible proof of the system’s corruption. Now, the once-reckless warrior must confront his painful past and survive the system’s impatient AI that seems to be cleansing the world of the remaining players, all while coming to terms with his eternal entrapment within Savior Online.
