Ep. 1: Hiro enters an old VR game and accidentally kills an NPC, ruining his hero status.
Aired on April 7, 2021
In Japan, VRMMORPGs offer five-sense immersion with human-like NPCs. Hiroshi Yūki, lacking funds for a new title, visits a shop where manager Reona Kisaragi sells him a decade-old game with high difficulty. As his avatar Hiro, he finds the world remarkably realistic. His initial quest to reach Flora Castle is blocked by childhood friend NPCs Alicia and Martin, who warn that leaving the city is illegal. When Martin attacks him, Hiro feels the pain and accidentally kills him during the struggle. Disturbed by the realism, Hiro flees into the city and encounters Reona in-game as a support fairy. She reveals that by killing Martin, he has earned the title "Best Friend Killer," thereby destroying his opportunity to become the Hero.
