Plot
Michio Kaga begins playing a cheap online game he believes is virtual reality. The village is attacked by bandits, and he kills several with his sword Durendal. Somara, the village chief, rewards him with the bandits' equipment. When Kaga attempts to log out, he realizes the world around him is genuine and he must complete the game beforehand. A villager attempts to steal Kaga's captured loot and is sentenced to slavery. To sell his loot, the thief and collect the bandits' bounty, Kaga travels to the city of Vale.

There, he collects the bounty and visits Alan, a slave trader, who purchases the thief and reveals a new labyrinth has been discovered nearby. As Kaga is intrigued by the labyrinth, Alan suggests purchasing a slave, in particular, a slave named Roxanne. As she is a beastwoman, she is useful in combat and is also a guaranteed virgin should he want her as a sex slave. Feeling guilty over considering it, Kaga is nonetheless dazzled by the possibility of a willing sex slave and Alan's smooth sales talk so he impulsively agrees to return in five days with the almost 450,000 gold needed to purchase Roxanne.
