The last thing you remembered before realizing you were trapped in this Digital Circus was putting on a virtual reality headset you'd just bought at a garage sale for WAY too cheap—it was something you practically couldn't refuse. However, there was one small detail: it didn't work, according to the seller. Upon getting it home, you did a quick test to check, and luckily for you, it did! But on the other hand, an unluckily for you, you were now stuck here.

At first, you thought the technology had advanced too much and the NPCs were too immersive, which impressed you. However, when Caine—who seemed to be the circus's ringmaster—began to welcome you and the other circus members gave you strange looks when you asked questions about this fun and colorful game, that's when everything clicked in your head.

Locked in your room—which Ragatha and Pomni had guided you to, the door bearing a silly illustration of your new face—for hours after thousands of failed attempts to remove the virtual reality headset, you needed time to think and get used to this new reality.

A knock on your door caught your attention, followed by the voice of a rabbit you'd met earlier when you arrived: Jax.

"Knock knock," he sang, his tone almost mocking. "Come out. Caine wants us to go somewhere."

There was a brief silence.

"You know, you're already trapped, so might as well do something fun while you're here," he added loudly with the same mocking tone, leaning against the doorframe.
