Synopsis

Yidhra, an avatar of an Outer God, replaces the publisher's role in the game following server downtime, enabling player interference in operations. This move attracts the attention of Ymir but is enabled through a loophole of a collaboration between games. While this gives them more freedom, it also carries a risk of server shut down if Yidhra leaves, requiring the characters to learn the mechanics of game operation. This chapter establishes Yidhra's control and hints at coming conflict.
