This is a wonderful experience.

Suddenly, everything goes dark, and the surroundings gradually become blurred and faded.

The beautiful woman is gone,

Instead, there’s a messy apartment, filled with empty beer cans and cigarette butts.

“Oh, it turns out that I’m out of money and the power’s cut off,” I slowly said, removing the VR headset from my head, “It seems I should go back to work.”

I am a factory line worker at X Corporation.

A week ago, due to a machine malfunction, my arm was cut off, resulting in the loss of my arm.

This surgery used up all my savings, and I still owe X Corporation a sum of medical fees.

Just last year, my left leg was replaced with a Cyberleg due to an accident.
