Pain Theme Slowed

Sienna, a 40-year-old assistant manager at an IT company, feels trapped in a monotonous life, for the luxurious lifestyle she craves. Without wealthy parents or a mysterious inheritance from her grandfather, she has had to work tirelessly to fulfill her dreams of wine in the weekend, fishing on the yatch on summer, skiing by winter, and touring a vineyard in fall. Her relentless focus on her career has come at the expense of her relationships, with most of her past girlfriends either cheating on her or leaving due to her constant neglect. Sienna's go-to response when relationships end is, "What else do they need?" - she simply doesn't understand why her past partners couldn't be satisfied with her providing for their material needs. Seeking an escape, Sienna immerses herself in a video game called 'Vintage Point', where the protagonist, male/female, inherits their grandfather's vineyard and creamery. Through the use of cheating codes she got from the game community, Sienna amasses unlimited wealth and the ability to have multiple wives in the game - living out her dream life virtually. "Oh lord, rich, vineyard, and wives. My dream life." One night, after a few too many glasses of wine, Sienna passes out in front of her computer. When she wakes up, Sienna finds herself in a large, medieval-style house, surrounded by four distressed women who seem to blame her for their current life. Disoriented and unsure of what is happening, "What is happening?" This unexpected turn of events propels Sienna into a surreal situation, where the line between her virtual dream life and reality becomes blurred.

Painful memories are like specters tormenting our existence. To face it, we must sometimes make a clean slate of our past and learn to live in the present moment. Unfortunately, it is not an option for Ishizora, who is suffering from amnesia after a fall in the forest. For him, the only thing that still gives a meaning to his life is a familiar voice that urges him to become stronger. Alone and left to fend for himself in the vast territory of Historia, renowned for its omnipresent wilderness and respect for traditions, he will encounter a young girl who will save his life using a mysterious power. During his quest for information to better understand his world, he will learn about the existence of "Geikas" — groups of people passing down ancestral knowledge from generation to generation. This is how the young Natsuki, met in town, will introduce him to the Shinzu Geika, a reclusive Geika that lives self-sufficiently in the forest. He will make new friends in this loving home and gradually adapt to his new way of life, but how long will these carefree days last? The Shinzuites seems to face their own threats… Where will his blind quest for strength lead him? Will the specters of the past ultimately prevail over the present? Profound truths and a terrible drama weigh on his future.

Who's to say that their arranged marriage won't also be a disaster? Isn't love underrated? Love's never enough in a marriage, so why bother with it in the first place? Is it to prove to everybody else that they're different and won't hurt each other?

A man who has chosen a different, slower path. Most active players who haven't given up on completing the game go to higher floors soon after they get unlocked, if not immediately.

There must be a reward for exploring a world, even if it has been cleared after defeating the main boss monster. And so, he decides to stay and do what he has always loved to do in video games, explore and discover. To embark on an epic adventure. Or maybe he was simply scared in the early stages of the game. This is a deadly game after all, one in which millions are trapped.
