It started with a game,

More specific, a mobile game,

Even more specific, a Virtual Hyper Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Mobile Role Playing Game.

It called Ambrosia

On the beginning of 2018, South Korea’s most well-known game developer company, Obsydian Co., had been developing a brand new technology for online mobile gaming. They invented the Virtual Hyper Reality Device or as they called it, VHR, to feel the new experience of mobile gaming where players could be experiencing a hyper reality adventure inside the games. The device’s similar to VR Glasses those gamers use nowadays, but with a special wireless technology they had planted in the game software it could give the players some sensation where they won’t be controlling their physical body anymore but they controlled the virtual body in the game instead.

Ambrosia itself had been their very first project where it start its story on an Alternate Universe called New Korea, a post-apocalyptic version of South Korea. Players could develop their self-made character through the quests and missions given in the game, and build their own path towards the main goal, to be the best Warrior in New Korea.

The game had just been released on Closed Beta Testing (CBT) server, which the access was only given for the game developer inner circles. Unfortunately, the secret download link had been uncontrollably leaked amongst the Idols in South Korea. 

Here’swhere the disaster starts.
