Finally our third protagonist has her letter delivered by a cat. All three letters say the same thing; “This letter is for those of you with many troubles and extraordinary powers.

As Shiro tries to assess their situation a new monster takes him by surprise … It was barely a day earlier that Shiro first found himself literally inside the MMO Elder Tale.
