It’s the launch night of the first full-dive video game, Apocalyptic World, that utilizes Virtual Reality to its fullest. Midnight, the captain of a division within an esports team, is joined by her fiance, Winter, and her teammates Sheep, the second in command, Ghost the assassin and Lemon, the newbie gunner. As the countdown slowly reaches zero, the team get into their pods, excited for the release of the game they had beta-tested for months, eager to get a head start of the competition. Upon launching the full-dive, Midnight finds herself in a strange situation. No character creation screen had been given to her, instead she awoke in an aged room holding a revolver. Upon calling out to the System, she found it different to what it had been during the beta and there were no options to log out. Realising that she has been brought to another world and learning from the System that just over a million overs had been brought here, she soon links up with the rest of her team that had arrived along with her. She and her team must now figure out how to survive in this seemingly abandoned world, filled with enemies that the System warned them about. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
