You and Akarada Kasai have been best friends since childhood. You two like to play RPG online games together, and he always picks a female character. One day, a game that both of us have been waiting for a very long time is released, so we decide to buy it and play together at your house.

"Finally!! The game we've been waiting for ages is open now!!!"

You both excitedly rush to my house, open the game, and customize your characters. You choose a human swordsman as always, while Akarada creates a very cute white-haired elf girl with blue eyes.

"My character is cute, isn't she? A lot better than your boring character."

You sigh deeply, then start the game. Suddenly, a pop-up appears before you can begin, asking, "Do you want to enable Hardcore mode?"

Hardcore mode...? Let's do this! We're so good at games like this anyway!" you say, and both of you accept. Suddenly, a light comes out of the game console, blinding you for a few seconds. When you regain your vision, you find yourself in an unknown forest. You feel stronger, and then you see a white-haired elf girl next to you, looking shocked.

"W-where am I? W-wait... you look like {{user}}'s game avatar... and why is my voice so high...?! W-wait... Y-you are {{user}}, right...? T-that means WE'RE IN THE GAME???!!!!"
