## Plot

On their way back from the School, Kate and Eva Lee are attacked by Jay, who targets them because they earned Alex's trust. Before he can kill them, Perry Joo appears parries Jay's sword with her Gravity Field ability. She scoffs at Jay for using Alex to threaten Elliot, revealing that she is aware Elliot pair-changed with Alex to annihilate Blue Moon. Jay guesses Perry's romantic feelings for Elliot. With Perry momentarily flustered, Jay disappears. Still a little miffed, Perry uses Detoxification to heal Kate and Eva's wounds. Since Eva and Kate are acquainted with Alex, Perry deems them trustworthy and invites them both to join White Hound, promising them power and protection. For Kate's sake, Eva agrees without hesitation.

While Perry helps the girls, Elliot arrives in the forest in time to block Vincent Kang's attack. He wonders out loud why he does not recognize Vincent and the others as players he recruited to join White Hound. Startled by these words, Vincent reassures his fellow teammates that Elliot cannot use his powers at night. As if to contradict him, Rosaline Kim appears and summons Light, creating shadows that Elliot uses to kill Jay's guild members. As the coast clears, Rosaline conjures a cage of Light around Hanna, trapping her. Elliot approaches Alex, who is on the ground and defenseless, mocking his uselessness. Alex demands to know why Elliot betrayed him three months ago when he destroyed Blue Moon, and where he hid Alex's Life points. Elliot explains that a large team like Blue Moon posed a threat and needed to be eliminated. In order for Elliot to win Zero Game, all obstacles need to be removed, including Alex.

Meanwhile, Mr. X wonders why Elliot, the person who can most likely take Alex's LP away, is intent on fighting Alex. Loveme recalls how the twins used to get along in the beginning, but something happened after joining Blue Moon that made them part ways. Even after being cruelly used by Elliot, Alex continues to hope for the day they will become brothers again.

**"Second Class 2"** is the twelfth released episode of *ero Game* by Zelbasen. Pair-switched, Hanna in Alex's body is held captive by Alice Neul while Alex in Hanna's body proceeds to cross the finish line in the Second Class.

## Plot

Amazed by Hanna's and Alex's high ranks, Eva Lee watches as Hanna, in Alex's body, confidently negotiates with Joseph Ha. Hanna reminds him that setting her free will earn him 5,000 LP and avoid rebound effects from her Mirroring skill. Swayed, Joseph releases Hanna and is instantly killed by an infuriated Alice Neul. With her ability back, Hanna releases a powerful blast of flames that causes the entire School building to tremble. Provoked, Alice releases an onslaught of levitated scissors, only to be thwarted by Alex, who arrives with impeccable timing in Hanna's body. As Hanna, Eva, and Kate Lee rush away to complete the Second Class, Alice demands to know why Alex is able to rejoin Level One after already clearing Level Three. He explains that the pairing advantage allows him to reenter the level with his partner. Alice continues to protest, but Alex kills her.

Back in the First Floor Lobby, Alex and Hanna pair-switch back. Alex chastises Hanna for maiming his body and using her ability. When Hanna asks why Alice did not come in last place, Alex responds that he must get rid of things that get in their way. Kate thanks Hanna and Alex; not used to sincere gratitude, Alex brushes it off awkwardly.

Oliver announces the results of the Second Class: 22 out of 27 players crossed the finish line, with Hanna in first place and Alex in last. Oliver hands The Basics of P.E. to Hanna, and removes Alex's sight for the duration of the Third Class. Players participating in the Third Class must locate their report card within the school, go to the Broadcasting Room, and shout over the PA system, "There has been a mistake in the report card, Mr. Noise!" without being caught by Noise.

Meanwhile in the Operator Room, a delighted Mr. X and Rita are watching video footage of Level One. Rita concludes that Alex has a plan to handle Noise in the Third Class, but recalls the last Level One game where even Jay, who managed to kill one of Noise's NPC, could not harm Noise. Mr. X explains how Noise can transform his body into molecules of electricity to travel through the school and avoid attacks from players. Even Alex, with his Electronic Master ability, is at a heavy disadvantage.

Episode 20

**"Humans are to fear more than Ghosts"** is the twenty-first released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. Hanna and Alex enter Level Two, administered by Micaela, and is attacked by zombified deceased players.

## Plot

After their visit to the Ability Shop, Hanna and Alex traipse into the Cemetery to look for the church where Micaela resides. In order to enter Level Two, they need to dip the Divine Sword into the blood of Arachne, a creature whose appearance can morph into the look of anyone the player misses most or feels close to. Seeing Alex fidget nervously as they walk through the cemetery, Hanna playfully scares him by grabbing his ankle. Indignant from the prank, Alex is suddenly caught off guard when a zombie appears and grabs him. Frantically, Hanna pulls from her inventory the exorcism products Loveme sold them and threw them at the Zombie one by one, including Garlic, Holy Water, and a Flash Ammunition that lights up the entire cemetery.

     When none of the items worked, Hanna pulls out the Holy Bible and slams it on the Zombie's head, effectively rendering it motionless.

As Alex tries to come to terms with the fact that his Electronic Master ability was less effective on killing a Zombie than a book, more Zombies start crawling out of the shadows, surrounding them. Hanna and Alex quickly realize their abilities are useless against them. Hanna uses the Flame ability to pave an escape route amidst the swarm of Zombies and she and Alex manage to hide in an abandoned building. However, the Zombies quickly follow them to the building, smashing the window and grabbing ahold of Hanna. Alex sticks out his arm just as one of them tries to bite Hanna, its teeth sinking into his forearm instead. A sudden flash of blue light shines through the window and the Zombies disappear.

Johan Lee enters the building and sees Hanna and Alex on the floor, catching their breath. Noticing Alex's body emitting no glow, Johan grabs him by the throat and threatens him. Hanna activates the Flame ability in defense, insisting they are all players. Johan's vision begins to blur as he apologizes, confessing he is tired and made a mistake. Letting go of Alex, Johan explains to them that the Zombies are deceased players whose wills to live transformed them into undead monsters that interrupt active players from reaching the Church. He offers to guide Alex and Hanna to the Church under the condition that he goes with them. He reveals that he already has The Dagger With Arachne's Blood and will not get in their way; he simply wishes to meet Arachne again.

Episode 6

**"Preparation"** is the seventh released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. Alex and Hanna visit Loveme at the Ability Shop to procure Level One Entry Tickets.

## Plot

Two weeks have passed since "Catch the Operator" Battle Royale. Hanna continues her daily training with the Flame and Electronic Master abilities, conducted by her Copier ability. From the data collected so far, Alex concludes that harnessing more than two abilities will severely deplete her stamina, but she is able to hold up to four hours. The higher the ability level or number of abilities she possesses, the less her body can endure. As Alex continues surveying the data, Hanna silently wonders what made him come to a place where people chose death. She has not told him of her father's appearance, knowing that as an Operator, Mr. X nearly broke the rules by not remaining neutral.

Alex explains to Hanna how the Game Levels function. Thus far, the highest level cleared is Level 5, with 38 players assembled in the Backyard Garden waiting for Level 6, a Guild Battle to start. Level 6 cannot begin without a certain number of players, so Hanna's primary goal right now is to clear all the preceding levels.

Hanna and Alex arrive at the Ability Shop to procure Level One Entry Tickets and is greeted by an overenthusiastic and exuberant Loveme. She offers to pair with Hanna, to which an affronted Alex rejects. After a few moments of teasing, Loveme hands them the Entry Tickets, which she gives for free in exchange that they eradicate a hostile group of users who hold hostages to clear games. Alex gladly complies, then asks if Hanna's Copier ability can mimic NPC abilities as well. Reluctantly, Loveme admits that although possible, it is likely Hanna's body will shatter if they attempt to abuse it in such a way. Hanna and Alex thank Loveme and depart with the Entry Tickets.

The night before the start of Level One, Hanna fights her anxiety as she attempts to fall asleep. Alex enters her room with a pillow and lies down next to her on the bed, trying to soothe her nerves. He reassures her that Level One will be easy because she is paired with him. Hesitantly, Hanna asks him why he entered Zero Game. Alex ignores her and pretends to sleep. Though exasperated by his arrogance and obstinacy, she feels comforted by his presence and eventually drifts off.

The next morning in an abandoned building in the Red Village, Eva Lee is being punished for trying to sneak her younger sister, Kate Lee, out of captivity from Alice Neul, a player with a Tracking ability. Alice reminds Eva that she owes Alice 500 LP to properly free Kate, and her only chance is to win reward Life Points from Level One.

She leads them back to the Collapsed Cathedral only to find Alex alive and well. Not noticing she is unaccompanied, he asks why she has returned. Elliot ambushes Alex with a conjured shadow monster and demands he deactivate the pair system. Without his Staff, Alex is unable to fight back and is overpowered by Elliot.

Hanna finds the card Alex took from her, stained with his blood, and realizes Alex attacked her despite knowing her passive skill. Hanna approaches Alex under the pretense of attacking him and he justifies that his actions were to determine whether she is a worthy pair partner or not. Hanna proposes to team up with him if he overpowers Elliot and Perry; Alex warns her that as the fourth ranker, he will most likely not be able to defeat them, as Perry and Elliot hold fifth and first rank respectively. With a blast of electricity, Alex takes back his Staff and counterattacks Elliot. Surprised by his brother's sudden burst of energy, Elliot surmises that Alex must have altered his stamina somehow.

Rita arrives through teleportation, interrupting the battle, and announces a change in the first place ranking. In disbelief, Perry protests that Elliot has at least 1,000 LP more than Jay. Rita declares that Hanna Yoo has taken first place with 20,000 LP.

Prologue

**"Prologue"** is the first episode of *Zero Game* released by Zelbasen. After being thrown out by her relatives, Hanna Yoo receives a mysterious invitation to join Zero Game, a survival game that offers a second chance at life.

## Plot

The story begins with Hanna Yoo being heavily bullied by her fellow classmates in school. Although a normal occurrence for Hanna, it is the 10-year anniversary of her parents' deaths. She arrives home to find her adoptive relatives requesting she move to an orphanage. As soon as they believe Hanna is out of earshot, her aunt and uncle discuss how it is difficult to raise her and that "she gets hit by a car." Rejected and depressed, Hanna questions whether life has any meaning for her, and if she was better off dead.

Perhaps in the nick of time, Hanna receives an email from her supposedly dead father, inviting her to join Zero Game, a survival game that offers her the chance to reset her life from zero. The email is signed with "XXX," a code she shared with her father to mark their secret hideout. Frantic, she arrives at the secret hideout to find a card with the Zero Game insignia attached to the door, warning her that she is wagering her life to participate in the game.  Believing that there is nothing left in the real world for her, Hanna passes through the doorway and finds a new card before facing a gruesome, blood-soaked monster.  The monster catches Hanna off-guard and traps her in its slimy tentacles. As Hanna fruitlessly attempts to fight it off, a beam of red electricity pierces through the monster's stomach and destroys it.

Alex Baek arrives, scoffing at how Hanna left hell just to enter a new one. He glances at her card before challenging her intentions in joining the game. Although players of Zero Game all leave the real world because there is no point in living, Alex points out that from the way she was attempting to escape the monster's clutches, Hanna desires life. Hanna recalls all the difficulties she faced in the real world and realizes despite all that, she desperately wants to live.

**"Betting of life"** is the thirty-sixth released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. After completing Level Two, Jay's Mind Control activates, compelling Johan to attack Hanna.

## Plot

Before the start of Level Two, Mr. X appeared before Micaela to inform her that the Game System had issued a Prediction Alert that she will die. He warned her that it might result from her accidentally kill a player. Seeing that Micaela was unconcerned, Mr. X proposed a bet: If Hanna's team managed to complete Level Two without killing Mika, then Micaela would not choose the path of destruction. However, if they end up killing Mika, Micaela was free to do whatever she wants. Micaela agreed to the terms and set off to begin Level Two.

In the present, Hanna, Alex, and Johan are teleported back to forest. Suddenly, Jay’s Mind Control activates, compelling Johan to attack Hanna. Startled, Micaela reads Johan's player status and conveys his mind-altered state to Alex and Hanna. As Alex fends off Johan, Micaela quickly opens a teleportation portal and sends Hanna and Alex home. With his primary target gone, Johan activates his Qi ability to attack Micaela, per Jay's instructions. Tears rolling down her face, Micaela tells him that this will be their final date.

Meanwhile in the Operator Room, Loveme asks why Mr. X proposed the bet knowing that Micaela and Johan Lee are husband and wife. Mr. X calmly explains that if Johan is left wandering freely, he will eventually kill Hanna under Jay's control. Knowing this, Micaela planned on killing him to save Hanna and consequently perish as an NPC. To prepare for this, Mr. X solicited Loveme's influence as a former Operator to stand by his decision and choose NPCs to accompany him.

     He explains that since he lost the bet with Micaela, he has no choice but to silently respect her decisions and watch like a coward. Though Mr. X wishes to maintain peace, he cannot stand idly by as Jay targets innocent NPCs. He will fight the war to protect those he cares about.

After being transported back to the home base, Hanna insists on going back. Despite understanding Micaela's intentions to protect them, Hanna cannot allow her to make such a sacrifice. She tells Alex that he does not need to accompany her, knowing his history with Jay and Elliot. As Hanna turns to leave, Alex stops her. Irritated, he demands an apology from her for leaving him alone.

**"A Foreseen Death"** is the thirty-fourth released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. Hanna and Johan protect Mika as Alex uses Lucifer's Red Stuffed Toy to defeat Micaela.

## Plot

Johan stands in between Hanna and Mika, declaring those who punish others are deemed just as guilty. Using Qi, he conjures a barricade to prevent the NPC Villagers from entering the arena. Mika’s spell continues, tearing down Lucifer’s barrier. As Hanna and Johan leave the arena to find Alex, Mika gratefully thanks them for protecting him. He bends down to pick up the incantation tools and is struck from behind by arrows.

Meanwhile, Alex manages to land a blow on Micaela, whose barrier has fallen. As Micaela muses incredulously at Hanna’s success with Mika, Alex ducks into a nearby alley and uses Natural Recovery to heal his wounds. He then feeds Lucifer's Fruit to Lucifer’s Red Stuffed Toy. Moments later, Micaela spots Alex and shoots a beam of dark purple energy in his direction. Alex dodges and appears behind Micaela, flying in the air with amplified powers granted by Lucifer’s Toy. Micaela scoffs at him for resorting to such means. They fight for a duration of time before she suddenly halts in the air, realizing that Mika is dead. Because he died at the hands of the Villagers and not the players, she declares the game as a tie.

At the arena, Hanna holds Mika’s dying body in her arms as Johan curses at the NPC Villagers for killing a child instead of defeating Lucifer. As the Villagers shout in protest, Mika weakly thanks Johan and Hanna for being the first team to choose not to kill him. Though Mika wishes to live, he is grateful to experience such kindness for the first time. As he slowly dissolves, he tells them to defeat Lucifer and finish the game. Hanna cries, confessing that in spite of her resolve to bring back her family in the real world, she is unable to bring herself to harm others. Johan reassures her that since it is in her nature, she should have faith in creating her own path. Invigorated, Hanna wipes her tears and sets off with Johan to find Micaela.
