"nOW THEN, ENJOY rEALITY!" a voice dreaded by everyone in this world resounded.

"... the same dream..." muttered a certain girl while panting after waking from her nightmare.

The girl cloaked the blanket around herself. Lying on the bed, she buried herself underneath the pillow as if to protect herself.

The bed was by no means comfortable. The girl knew this was not her home. This was a cheap inn found in a certain city. The sheets and pillows, while not dirty, smelled from overuse. The bed creaked at every slight movement of the girl. The room was cramped and small. The walls were on the verge of falling apart. Yet the girl chose to stay in this room for one reason-what lay outside horrified her even more.

The girl spent the past two weeks shut in her room, afraid of the world outside. The girl passed each day reading at the Help System. From the Help System, she learned various information about the world she was in, but she was nevertheless too afraid to take action.

The girl glanced towards the upper right.

"It's been two week since I came here. When will this end?"

Tears fell from the girl's eyes as she hopes, "Someone save me..."

The sound of a message notification interrupted the girl's tears. The girl clicked on the notification that could be seen in front of her.

Note: June 15: Parent's Wedding Anniversary

The moment the girl saw the note, her tears stopped.

"What am I doing?" the girl chuckled at her own incompetence. "Father and Mother never taught me to be dependent on others. If there was something I wished to achieve, I have to do all in my power to reach it. Whether I succeed or fail, it matters. It's better to try and regret than regret not trying."

The girl smiled at herself as light refilled her previously lifeless eyes.

A mere notification leftover from her phone began everything. Something so simple gave the girl the resolve to shed her cocoon and take action.

Here begins the adventure of Dove Rinslet.
