After you used up your quota of safe death, your character will be deleted.
There was no body that is immune to damage, always working properly even in death’s door.
There was no eternal youth, there was no undying immortal avatar.
You won’t be able to learn endless skills to prepare for the endless occasions you might have encountered.

In the age where all kinds of distinct and popular games had countless varieties of clones, being such a hard and demanding game was not a pro. Even the game banking on a sense of accomplishment doing a hard to achieve task as an attractive factor – where even the trash mob could kill unaware veteran player – was already so cliche. This is the time where putting an advertisement of “this game is a hyper-realistic VR game, 99.9 % indistinguishable from reality.” won’t cut it anymore.

Among the copious amounts of the game with similar genre, such a game with ridiculous rule and high difficulty is the kind of a game Finn wouldn’t bother to check up. But it was free to play; he could check it for a while and delete it when it doesn’t pass his standard. After all, what’s the use of a game if it was not fun and engaging? <<less

Story about a girl named Sam, who was just another fellow ordinary human.

One day, she suddenly got invited to join a survival game using the virtual reality technology. The game was called Seraphi InVerse, where the gamers are transported into a futuristic neon city.

The game wasn't too complicated but the gamers are having a hard time.

Why? Since their enemies are aliens and their weapons are random and not conventional.

Most had drones, fans, pans, and whips. But the most unluckiest of them all was Sam, who had gotten a huge amount of toothpicks.

Watch as how Sam uses her weapon to overcome it's limit
and win the game! Nothing is impossible if you do your best, okay?
