The Girl I Met on VRMMORPG
My life had always been a series of disappointments. Every dream I chased—whether career ambitions, friendships, or even love—seemed to fall apart. By the time I turned 22, I had hit rock bottom, questioning if life was even worth living. That’s when I discovered VRMMORPGs (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), a world where I could escape my misery and become someone else.
One game, Gildoria Online (GO), stood out above all. Set in a realm of magic and swordplay, it was everything I had ever dreamed of. A place where I could grow stronger, conquer kingdoms, and battle legendary foes. At the top of the game was the ultimate challenge—the Demon King, who ruled over a demon army from the top floor of Doomspire Tower in the Demon Kingdom.
In GO, my character’s name was Yeongho. I dedicated myself to the game, rising to Level 200 and becoming a respected veteran known for my skill. I spent my time helping newcomers, offering guidance and encouragement. That’s when I met her—a red-haired girl with mesmerizing green eyes. From the moment we crossed paths, I felt an undeniable connection. We became inseparable, laughing, exploring, and conquering the game’s toughest challenges together. For the first time in years, I felt truly alive.
But then, disaster struck. Players across the world suddenly vanished from their homes and found themselves physically transported to Gildoria. In a shocking turn of events, 500,000 players were trapped in the game, transported to another world. Gildoria Online had become a supernatural death game. The stakes were no longer just virtual. The game’s system remained intact, and if a player’s HP dropped to zero, their real body would perish, causing them to vanish from Earth forever. The only way to survive and return to Earth was to defeat the Demon King.
I wasn’t logged in when the catastrophe began, but when I saw Mina’s ID among the trapped players, my heart sank. I couldn’t just stand by. Without hesitation, I logged in, determined to rescue her from this nightmare. My body slowly transformed into shards of light, and I was transported to Gildoria.
This is the story of how I fought against time, fear, and a death game to rescue the girl I met in a virtual world—a world where the line between life and death had disappeared.
