Episode 7

**"Game start"** is the eighth released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. Hanna and Alex compete with other players to win Level One's "First Class" round of Poison Lunch.

## Plot

Noise approaches Mr. X, requesting to change Level 1 First Class due to the Level 1 NPC dying in the last round. Troubled by an NPC death, Mr. X inquires who the perpetrator is. Noise confirms it is Jay, the third ranker who murdered players with over 10,000 LP. With Alex Baek who once had 120,000 LP and Hanna Yoo who earned 20,000 LP upon joining the game, Mr. X wonders who Jay is targeting next.

In the Game Waiting Hall, Noise introduces himself to the gathered players and explains the rules of the Level 1. The First Class, "Poison Lunch," and Second Class, "The Deadly Walk Around the School," will be administered by NPCs and reward the first user to clear the rounds The Basics of Lunch and The Basics of P.E. respectively. Noise himself will supervise the Third Class, where players must locate their report card and announce their "grade errors" in the broadcasting booth without being detected by him. He bids them good luck and teleports the players into the School, beginning Level 1.

The players arrive in the cafeteria, where Knock is administering the First Class. Miffed, Alex grumbles how it was weird the Operator changed the First Class without making an official announcement. He then assures Hanna, who is worried about the new changes, that it should be easy to clear regardless. Though they are saving their abilities for later rounds, they should not have difficulties with the First Class.

Knock instructs the players to sit and consume the Drink of Love, a beverage with a toxic ingredient that can be cured with an antidote only found in the Nurse's office on the fourth floor. Players must reach the Nurse's office within three hours without using scrolls or Teleportation, and avoid the "Student Council." The player who clears this round first will receive The Basics of Lunch, a book item that can be traded at the Ability Shop for 500 LP.

As the First Class begins, Alex explains to Hanna that the Student Council consists of Roamers, robots that are programmed to only attack players who step within a specific range.After analyzing the details, Alex comes to the conclusion that it is impossible to find a route that completely avoids the Roamers. Confident in their abilities and set on achieving their goals, Alex and Hanna set off as the first players to challenge the Roamers. Quickly, they realize the Roamers have high endurance and tricks against players. Alice Neul observes Hanna and Alex closely and decides to make use of them.

## Personality

Hangang is, as described by Jasmine Ji, a coward who is also compassionate and generous. He helps out people who are in need, so much so that it had caused him major injuries.

## Background

When Hangang was a child, someone saved him from being hit by a car. The female who helped him hugged him and said it was okay, despite it being Hangang's fault. From that incident onwards, Hangang decided to help those who were in danger; lend a hand to those who needed it. However, it was hard enough to just look after himself, and helping someone was never easy.

From helping someone, he lost his hand. Before entering Zero Game, Hangang deeply regretted helping that person, even wishing that he had just ignored it and looked the other way. Because of that, he was invited and joined Zero Game. After joining Zero Game, he no longer regretted helping them.

Hangang used to love swimming, but couldn't do that after losing his arm.

After joining Zero Game, he helped many people in need and/or saved them from death or injuries. These people came together, and thus Blue Ocean was formed.

## Friends and Acquaintances

### Jasmine Ji

Jasmine and Hangang appear to be very close friends, evident from Hangang showing great care for Jasmine when she doesn't give up and fights to the point of almost death. They have also shared a kiss, which Jasmine believed would bring good luck.

Episode 14

**"Falling Out 1"** is the fifteenth released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. Upon completing Level One and depleted of their stamina, Hanna and Alex are ambushed by Elliot's guild.

## Plot

In the Backyard Garden, Elliot pleasantly requests Rosaline Kim to accompany him on his next mission. Persuaded by his charms, Rosaline complies, addressing him as the White Hound Guild Master.

At the backdoor of Level One, Hanna and Alex thank Eva and Kate Lee for their assistance in Level One and hands them The Basics of P.E.. They part ways, Alex and Hanna heading towards the forest, Eva and Kate back to the Red Village. Hanna muses aloud how it is nice to have camaraderie with a sibling before realizing Alex cannot relate, having Elliot as an enemy. Suddenly, a large number of players donned in White Hound garb surround the two of them. Realizing Elliot's guild members took advantage of Hanna and Alex's drained stamina, Alex quickly becomes aggravated.

Meanwhile, Mr. X and Loveme discuss Mr. X's stunt as the Ability Shop part-timer. As they stroll under the moonlight, Loveme accuses Mr. X of allowing Hanna to copy the Flame skill without permission, an action worthy of a job dismissal. He assures her that since the Game System permitted it, Loveme probably would do the same had she been the one to meet Hanna at the Ability Shop. Mr. X then checks the number of people in the Backyard Garden and is horrified to see only nine users are left. Loveme explains that Jay, taking advantage of Loveme's Foreseeing skill, moved his guild out of the Backyard Garden to participate in his "Treasure Hunt." Once the guild disguises themselves as the White Hound and attacks Hanna and Alex, Jay will rescue them and gain their trust.

     The "treasure" that Jay seeks is the 100,000 LP Elliot hid inside Alex. Loveme explains that since Alex himself does not even know the Life points are hidden inside him, Jay needs to get close to them to gather more clues.

Back in the forest, Hanna and Alex are powerless against the overwhelming might of Jay's guild. Vincent Kang removes his White Hound mask and poses as a former teammate of Alex. Exhausted and befuddled, Alex pointedly says he does not recognize him from Blue Moon. While Vincent is distracted, Alex uses telepathy to tell Hanna to run away. Hanna furiously refuses, but as Alex tries to free himself, Vincent attacks him.

**"Crying Stuffed Toys 1"** is the twenty-seventh released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. After Arachne's death, Micaela opens up Level Two PVP. Players race each other to capture the Crying Stuffed Toys to proceed to the next stage.

## Plot

In the Underground Dungeon, Mr. X approaches Loveme's cell and asks why she allowed herself to be provoked by Jay. Loveme admits that she is already dead, so sacrificing herself to protect the kids is nothing. Mr. X reminds her that once Hanna finds out who Loveme is, it will be a terrible burden on Hanna if she is the reason Loveme perishes.

Back at the entrance of the Blue Village, Micaela announces the rules for Level Two. Participating teams that catch one of four Crying Stuffed Toys will qualify to enter the next stage. The player who catches Lucifer's Red Stuffed Toy is awarded 500 LP. As Micaela releases the Toys, hordes of players frantically chase the speedy monsters as they dart off.

Elliot sees Alex chasing after one of the Toys and tries to steal it from him. Aggravated, Alex tries to steal it back, accidentally setting it free. They chase the Toy through the village until Alex backs into a corner. Suddenly, the ground gives way as Alex steps into a trap. Elliot gloats over Alex, holding the Toy, until Alex hooks his Staff around Elliots ankle, pulling him and the Toy into the pit.

Meanwhile, Hanna struggles to find a Toy, wishing Eva Lee is there to help with her Clairvoyance skill. To her surprise, Eva appears in front of her and declares she is now part of Elliot's guild. Hanna is taken aback, realizing that they are now enemies by association. Despite this, Eva gives a captured Lucifer's Red Stuffed Toy to Hanna, admitting that she wants to repay her for everything Hanna did in Level One. As Hanna hesitates to accept the Toy, Eva reassures her that Elliot knows the paths the Toys take and will most likely find another one. Perry Joo appears, her Gravity Field ability activated, and accuses Hanna of being the reason Elliot and Eva are acting out of character.

Shadow

## Data Stats

**Shadow**

## Description

This ability allows its user to freely manipulate shadows into various different forms. The ability manifests a dark purple glow, and its power is strong enough to cover a large open field, forming a crater. However this ability can only be used during the day when there are shadows present; during the night, this ability is rendered useless.

By using "Limit Break", the user can use this ability at any given time, including during the night. It is unknown how long the "Limit Break" can last.

## Known Users

### Elliot Baek

Elliot Baek is the original user of this ability. He has been seen manipulating the shadows to create a large shadow monster which has the ability to strike down enemies. In order to compensate the weakness of this ability, he asks Rosaline Kim to conjure a light into the sky to create shadows for him during the night. Due to this, Elliot successfully pierced Alex Baek in the back during the intrusion battle. Before the current timeline, Elliot successfully learned the shadow ability "Limit Break", allowing him to use his ability against attackers at night. He created small shadow monsters that tear off and bite the limbs of the Blue Moon members during the Blue Moon massacre.

Flame

## Data Stats

**Flame**

## Description

The nature of the Flame ability is Flare. Since the ability level is SS class, its damage potential is extremely large and could be disastrous. If the user makes the Flare burst, it would do tremendous damage to their opponent and its surroundings. This ability can also be used in a long straight line, however it is not very effective, and can be stressful to the user. The user can attack in short explosions, and use the thrust of the explosion to wound the opponent.

## Known Users

### Loveme

Loveme is the original user of this ability. She has mastered this ability, and does not feel stress when using it in large quantities. Her damage radius is quite large and she can use it freely in many different forms. She has been seen using this ability in the form of a fire ball, large enough to cover an alley of the Red Village.

### Hanna Yoo

Hanna uses her Copier to replicate this ability, and uses it most often to melt her opponents. She uses the Flare in a long straight line to attack her enemies and in large flame pillars. She has also been seen using this ability in combinations with others, such as the Electronic Master ability. Although Hanna uses this ability quite often, there is a clear difference in strength between when Loveme uses this ability and when Hanna uses it.

Episode 30

**"Lucifer"** is the thirty-first released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. Temporarily de-aged with the 10-Year Potion, Hanna breaks free from Kyle's Bloody trap. Elliot and Alex find the young Hanna suddenly familiar.

## Plot

Micaela is impressed with Hanna's luck with the 10-Year Potion, turning younger rather than older in the middle of PVP. She wonders silently how Hanna plans to compensate for her diminished stamina and attack power with a younger body. As Elliot watches the eight year old Hanna onscreen, he is stunned by how familiar she suddenly is. Controlling his emotions, he tells Eva and Kate he is withdrawing from PVP to recruit a new guild member and continue tracking down Jay.

In the World Tree Field, Kyle Jan is overwhelmed by how adorable Hanna looks. He admits to Hanna how he loves cute things because they do not inflict pain, silently recalling unpleasant memories of his abusive father. Reminding himself that he joined Zero Game to rebuild his life, Kyle then charges at Hanna. Knowing her abilities are weakened, Hanna tries to quickly escape and fly away. Kyle manages to grab onto her ankle, but before he can strike a blow, he suddenly has a vision of a young girl calling out his name. Distracted, he lets go of Hanna. Hastily, Hanna uses the Winged Device and flies to the top of the World Tree and grasps Lucifer's Fruit, winning the round.

As Kyle leaves in defeat, Elliot approaches him and invites him to the join the White Hound Guild. Noticing Kyle's doubt in Elliot's intentions, Elliot claims that any person who loves cute things must be good. Swayed by Elliot's honeyed words and charming smile, Kyle enthusiastically accepts.

Alex, also recognizing the young Hanna onscreen, is shaken by the twist of fate. Pretending nothing has changed, he and Johan congratulate Hanna on winning the second stage of Level 2. As Hanna recovers her strength, Micaela informs them that Elliot has dropped out of PVP, a rare occurrence in Zero Game. She then teleports them to the next stage, Lucifer's Garden.

NPCs

**NPCs**, or *Non-Player-Characters*, are deceased beings from the real world who hold facilitating roles within Zero Game. NPCs generally carry out tasks for Operators, administer game levels, and assist in monitoring gameplay. NPCs do not possess memories before their deaths.

## Powers and Abilities

### Systems

Each NPC has a unique kind of ability, called a *system*. This system is modified and processed into abilities that players can then access. Systems can cancel each other out, however they cannot cancel abilities and vice versa.

### Teleportation

All NPCs have the ability to teleport multiple players, including themselves, anywhere they desire. When there is a change in the first place ranking, a designated NPC is required to teleport to the location of the new first ranker and award them with the Stone of Reincarnation. After the approval of the After-Game Care Service, NPCs are now required to transport the winners of each Game Level safely back to their homes.

According to Alex Baek, the NPC teleportation system is flawed, since it does not allow a safe landing after the transport. This results in players constantly falling and crashing over each other after each travel.

### PVP

Episode 4

**"Ability"** is the fifth episode of *Zero Game* released by Zelbasen. Hanna pair-switches with Alex to obtain an ability at the Ability Shop. Elliot schemes to foil their plan.

## Plot

Noise, a First-Level NPC, is shocked that an Operator has gone missing. Desperate to find out where the Operator is, he presses Rita for more information. Rita silently recalls when Mr. X requested she keeps his movements a secret from the other NPCs. She remembers him heading out to fill in part-time at the Ability Shop. True to her word, Rita tells Noise nothing.

In the Neutral Zone, Alex notices how quickly Hanna's body, which he is still using, runs out of energy. There was still a ways to go, and he was already 20 minutes behind schedule. Somewhere near Entrance C of the Neutral Zone, Hanna, in Alex's body, realizes she cannot hold her own against Elliot much longer. Before Elliot can deliver the finishing blow, Hanna and Alex manage to switch their bodies back.

Finally back in her own body, Hanna bursts into the Ability Shop and approaches the counter where Mr. X is posing as an NPC named Zero. She promises to pay double LP for any purchases as long as the shop remains open past closing hours. "Zero" complies and sells Hanna an extreme "Hidden Ability" for 10,000 LP. Observing Hanna's rather disheveled state, he then offers two complimentary Powerful Aide products for 1000 LP.

Back at the entrance, Alex uses his passive skill, Natural Recovery to regenerate his own body from Elliot's attacks. As they continue fighting, Elliot points out Alex's weakened condition; despite healing his wounds, Alex was unable to restore his depleted stamina. Perry Joo arrives and uses her Gravity Field ability to pin Alex to the ground. She accuses Elliot of going too easy on them.

Suddenly, large pillars of flame erupt all over the Neutral Zone, distracting Elliot and Perry. Hanna arrives wielding the Flame skill, channeled through her newly acquired Copier ability. Recognizing the flames as fourth ranker Loveme's ability, Elliot warns Perry to not strike. Ignoring his suggestion, Perry hurls gravity fields at Hanna, who easily shatters them. Hanna creates a smokescreen to give Alex, who is rendered immobile, the Powerful Aide, which restores his stamina and energy. Infuriated by Hanna, Perry claims scathingly that new players are unable to properly control high-level abilities. Their bodies repaired and morale boosted, Hanna and Alex remind her that in this game, any situation can change.

Episode 24

**"Arachne 3"** is the twenty-fifth released episode of *Zero Game* by Zelbasen. Infuriated by their attempts to kill it, Arachne reveals to Johan that Micaela is his formerly dead wife.

## Plot

Noise announces the overall winner of a new round of Level One as Eva Lee. He warns Eva and Elliot, who both destroyed the balance of the game, to never return and leaves. Elliot orders Perry Joo to take Eva and Kate Lee home to rest while he heads over to meet Hanna at Level Two. Hearing this, Eva wonders when she can meet Hanna and Alex again.

Back at Arachne's Nest, Arachne easily deflects all of Alex's attacks. It then transforms into Johan's deceased wife to agitate him. Seeing that Arachne does not transform into Micaela, who he suspected is his wife, Johan uses Qi to destroy the core in Arachne's eye. The core releases a blast of energy, sending Johan flying backwards. Arachne becomes enraged as she realizes they are trying to kill her rather than just dipping their dagger into her blood. She changes into a Nightmare version of Micaela, revealing that Micaela is indeed the NPC form of Johan's deceased wife. Seeing Johan too stunned by this revelation, Alex accuses Arachne of deceiving him.

     To counter his point, Arachne shows Alex his nightmare. He catches a glimpse of his past, struggling as a young boy in water while a young Elliot watches him, terrified.

Suddenly waking up from the nightmare, Alex believes he is indeed dead. He sees Johan grieving, burdened with guilt that his wife ended up as an NPC in a place like Zero Game. Alex firmly tells Johan to survive this fight with Arachne and tell Micaela he is sorry in person. Johan uses his Detection skill to locate Arachne's real core in the wall behind it. As Alex creates an electrical barrier around Arachne to prevent it from attacking, Johan charges forward and destroys the core.

As Arachne dies, Johan recalls Micaela warning him to not see her again. He admits to himself that he recognized her a long time ago but lacked the courage to face the truth. He remembers when he proposed to his wife in the real world. Because she had weak legs, she declined the proposal, believing he deserved better. After hearing this, Johan picked her up in his arms and promised to take here wherever she wanted as long as she stayed by his side. Moved, his wife accepted his proposal.

Back in the Church, Micaela cries to herself, knowing Johan entered Zero Game just for her.
