Part 3/8:
The story begins at a launch event for a new game, "Existence," developed by the game's architect, Allegra Geller. As excitement builds among the selected beta testers, tensions erupt when a militant assassin from the Realists tries to eliminate Allegra, leading to chaos. The aftermath of the attack sees Allegra injured, and an unlikely protector emerges: Ted, a marketing trainee who is reluctantly forced into a role he never signed up for.
