In a calm part of Korea, in a recluse mountain village a few hours away from Seoul, in the Gangwon-do province, lay the Jin household. And inside this household, in a locked room, lay a gaming pod.
Its occupant, Jin Sil Yeoja, known as player Athena Woodland, was in a deep sleep state, still inside the game, even as the sun rose outside of New Eden, and fell over the game.
Her mother, who had to calm the fuming temper of her husband after her daughter had threatened him, was currently standing outside the room, with a platter of food, presumably breakfast, waiting for an answer to her knock.
Seeing as there was not a peep from inside the room, she pulled out a key from her pockets and unlocked the door. Her husband didn't know she had this key, as her daughter had made her swear to keep it a secret.
