Synopsis
In Japan, a VR-accessed multi-player online fantasy role-playing game named Leadale, which offers a very liberal customization system, has become immensely popular in recent years. A young girl named Keina Kagami, rendered permanently paralzyed and on constant life support, uses this game from her hospital bed to interact with the rest of the world. When she unexpectedly dies after her life support shuts down during a power outage, she finds herself reborn into the game world of Leadale, in the body of her personal avatar Cayna. To her surprise, she also finds out that 200 years have passed in Leadale since she last logged into the game, a period in which the seven nations she knew were devastated by war and re-organized into three new kingdoms.

As Cayna begins making her way in this new world and meeting the three NPC children she had adopted in the game, she finds out that her death ruined Leadale's reputation, causing the game's shutdown. However, several other players ended up trapped inside the game as well, some of them for years, and the kingdoms of Felskeilo, Helshper and Otaloquess are increasingly plagued by attacks from high-level monsters, all stemming from Leadale's abrupt cancellation, which made them go rogue inside this world. What's more, one of the trapped players - a powerful one - seems to have set his sights on Cayna herself as his future bride.

Character
"Well, I guess I'll get ready, then."

- Cayna Keina Kagami was a 15 year old human girl from Japan. She was born in a rich family, but lost her parents in a tragic accident that also left her paralyzed and only able to live on life support. To cope, she often played the VRMMORPG World of Leadale via neural link to her support A.I Kee. However, a freak power outage cut off her life support and resulted in her body's death. Somehow, her consciousness was transferred into her game avatar Cayna 200 years in Leadale's future. At first confused as to why she was unable to log out or contact the administrators, Kee, who had also been transferred to Leadale with her, informed her of her situation and the fate of her physical body.

In the game, she is a rare 1100 level high elf and the Third Skill Master, giving her the ability to grant skills to players. Due to being a Skill Master and players constantly begging for skills, Cayna went to live in the remote frontier. She is a powerhouse on both the front lines and as a rear guard, but her specialty is using her endless supply of MP to wipe out enemies with magic. Her Guardian Tower sits in a vast forest and stretches high into the heavens; it can only be cleared if a player climbs to the top for twenty-four hours without stopping, which is considered the easiest of the thirteen trials. Her country server was the Black Kingdom of Lypras.

In the game, she was known and feared by her two sobriquets: The Silver Ring Witch and Ferocious Firepower. As a high-ranking player, she belonged to a guild called "Cream Cheese". Due to her characteristics as a high elf, she can hear "plant screams" when walking in green places, such as a forest, stepping on flowers, collecting medicinal herbs and cutting down wood.
