A sudden meteor shower strikes worldwide and spawns a Null World: nearby witnesses glimpse the truth of reality but have their memories wiped. In an apartment, a man who lost his job numbs himself with games and is distracted by loud play next door. A player brags about finally beating a succubus; moments later someone registers "Condition Met for Closed Beta Awakened Player" — he realizes he awakened mid-masturbation. The succubus turns aggressive, the host's game ability maxes out and is upgraded to god-tier with a Concept-level Ability. The episode ends as the system flashes: "Activate?"
An attack leaves a woman motionless as a system prompt activates and asks the present host to bind one of five soul abilities. The host scans bizarre options—from cockroach survival to Super Makeup—and, pressured, selects Option 5, Almighty Me, described as consuming spirit to form a special link with unpredictable effects. Immediately afterward an assailant realizes the host is still alive, grabs and chokes them to silence. The host forces the new skill to activate; its power begins to surface but the immediate effect is unclear, leaving attacker and host poised for a sudden, unpredictable shift.
Exhausted after using a mysterious, energy-draining skill that nearly killed someone, the host regains consciousness amid insults and a woman who calls him 'my lord' and demands he 'satisfy me tonight.' He recoils as others treat him like a slave and mock the money offered. Repeated shifts in perception leave him confused and pleading for help. A system message labels him a beta player and unlocks Null World vision. Activating it, he sees the current world is a false space and the real world on the verge of collapse, leaving him drained and forced to decide what to do next.
While showering, a rookie realizes the Abyss 'can actually see' him when a sudden tremor interrupts, his vision reveals hidden truths but also exposes his location. An ally warns that in the Null World the strong rule and tells him to level up or become a corpse. When an aggressive woman taunts, 'Boy toy,' she mocks and departs, prompting insults and a dare to return. Her threat to make him succumb if he comes back raises the stakes. Exposed and targeted, the rookie must confront immediate danger and the choice to re-enter the Null World.
After a month in the Null World, I learn it's made of many real worlds where witnesses lose memories and other players, not bosses, are the main threat. Testing a reality-command skill, I force my boss who owed wages to surrender—"My lord, the company is yours!"—then correct public offenders (a subway harasser, a smoking neighbor, litterers), causing a streetwide backlash that forces me to move out even as the phrase becomes a catchphrase. I train, befriend neighbor Sienna Lane, and finally level the skill before a mission, leaving my next move uncertain.
Entering the Dark Deity Ritual dungeon, players are split into Rescue and Allegiance factions; our narrator joined Rescue and grudgingly paid 1,000 Null coins for info. While hunting monsters she’s ambushed by an Allegiance player who chases her into a dead end. He boasts that Allegiance can kill and devour to gain abilities and then uses a hypnosis skill to seize talents. She realizes, "It's a hypnosis skill," but is immobilized as he declares, "I'm taking that skill for myself." Teammates promise backup any second, but she’s cornered and her skill is about to be stolen, leaving her fate uncertain.
During a kill-focused mission, renowned A-rank player Liam Zink appears and other players panic, trying to flee. Liam confronts them and suddenly one attacker finds his legs frozen. Liam moves in, dominating the scene and ordering, "Get on your knees now!" The frightened players immediately beg forgiveness, pledge loyalty, or offer to protect him as he accepts or rebuffs them. Observers note his overwhelming strength and even background music follows him. The episode ends with survivors stunned and the mission's power balance broken, forcing the group to face an immediate, dangerous decision.
An introduction goes wrong when Aunt Sienna presents her nephew Ian Hardy, an S-rank Awakener, to neighbor Matt Gray and onlookers mock Matt’s stare. Taunts escalate into a pinch and demands for apology, clashing with pride. A nearby conversation warns that conceptual powers are flashy but weak early on and that being outnumbered is fatal. They move into a Null World shop without QR codes where only Null currency works. After a confused payment exchange, the clerk snaps, 'You owe me 10 Null coins!' The episode ends on that unpaid debt.
Players learn the Corrupted Heart is held by the director of Peace Hospital, so they hurry to seize it before the Allegiance Faction. Null World rules are stressed: wrong Null coins can turn beings into trolls or wraiths. The hospital is crawling with wraiths and players farming EXP; Rescue Faction members warn dozens have already died. Inside, a hospital gatekeeper blocks access and asks, 'do you pay first or get treated first?' The group's reply is shouted 'Wrong answer!' and a sudden threat is triggered, leaving them facing immediate consequences before reaching the Corrupted Heart.
