*Note: A revised version of this work is being posted at the following URL. http://ncode.syosetu.com/n4771ds/ As this will not be updated going forward, please follow the revised version from now on. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Since the age of 12, Furusora Shigure had been afflicted by an intractable disease that ravaged his body, forcing him into a life of hospitalization. The only activities he could engage in from his bed were reading and watching videos and listening to music through the medical auxiliary terminal 【Carrion】. One day, a staff member from Capinos Company, the developer of 【Carrion】, visited Shigure with a request—to participate as a monitor for the VR-MMO-RPG 〈Reverse Tale Online〉, which utilizes sleeping hours. A story unfolding in 〈Evelina〉, the world within the game, painted in color against the backdrop of the gray reality. Within a dream that, despite being a game, ceases to be "extraordinary," 〝Shigure〟 begins to walk a second life.
