Falling Cosmos

Tormented by loan sharks, Lorn had lived the life of an 'ascetic'. He would willingly become homeless and live the life of a beggar (and only sometimes a pickpocket), so his hard-earned money wouldn't fall into his debtors' hands. Hopefully, they would finally leave him alone after realizing he's worth nothing anymore. But realizing his plans, the debtors decide to sell him as a guinea pig! The One Country's grand experiment attempting to copy a human's consciousness and put it inside the digital space! The only catch is, 80% of the test subjects are expected to receive lasting damages to their brain. However, Lorn finds a once-in-a-lifetime chance. The researchers were creating a virtual world using the digital space. And to create profits from it, instead of simply creating boring-old Virtual Earth (and calling it the Metaverse), they were making a game out of it! The first fully immersive VRMMORPG in the world! As the first tester of this game, Lorn would be a disgrace if he couldn't make money off of it!

Yun and Leshwi reached the halfway point of 21st Migrant Street. Yun loved this place, since there weren't any apartments in it. He only wished that every street was like this.

"I'll go ask that convenience store and those kids," Leshwi said.

"Sure, I'll go through the houses one by one."

Sighing, he walked up to another fence and rang the bell. A few minutes later, a grumpy-looking man appeared. 

"What?"

Trying to keep his face level, Yun pulled out a laminated copy of Lorn and Min's pictures. 

"Sorry for bothering you, but have you seen these two people? They might be a bit older now."

There were their names on the piece of paper and many pictures of them. Pics of when they were young, pics of them looking slightly older and pics of them with different hairstyles.

The man's eyes lingered on Min's pic for a few seconds before he shook his head and closed the door.

Yun sighed and walked towards the next door.
