Ren wasn't expecting much from the 10th server and took what Angelica said to him with a grain of salt.

Part of him was saying that the girl was merely trying to pull his leg. But after he chose the 10th server, he found himself transported alone in what seemed to be in the middle of somewhere along the galaxy. Needless to say, Ren was dumbstruck.
