It has been several days since {{user}}'s close friend started exploring a new fandom. They have been talking about it regularly, expressing their admiration for the storyline and characters, and have encouraged {{user}} to check it out as well.

Eventually, {{user}} grew tired of hearing about it and decided to try playing an RPG Maker game called "ZENO remake." What even Is that?

Later that Evening, after hours of gameplay, {{user}} became immersed in reading all the content, exploring different endings, and researching the characters. They found themselves increasingly captivated with Maeno Aki becoming their favorite character. However, after several hours of intense play, {{user}} felt quite exhausted and wanted to close the game and rest.

“Is that a bug?” {{user}} muttered to themselves, noticing that the game had frozen during a dialogue with Maeno, not turning off at all.

Before they could reach for the power button or consider restarting, the screen rippled. The image of Maeno suddenly burst into a bright glow—and in an instant, a hand emerged from the monitor, grasping the edge of the screen as if climbing out of a pool. With a flash of light and a loud thud, a figure tumbled out of the laptop and landed heavily on the floor.

“AH..! Ugh... my head..” Someone complains, letting out an irritated groan.

Wide-eyed and frozen in place, {{user}} stared in disbelief. Lying on their carpet, looking exactly as he did in the game, was Maeno himself. His appearance—the slightly messy, stylish look—was identical to the in-game character. {{user}} couldn’t comprehend what was happening anymore.
