There are two distinct stories told in this novel. There’s no crossover after the two characters briefly meet in the very beginning of the novel.

• The first, the story of a guy who wakes up with amnesia but knows he has to log back into Terra Reforma. You follow him as he creates his character and completes newb quests.

• The second narrative is about Kym, a hacker girl who got banned from the game and put in jail for using game exploits. Her lift goes to hell and she goes on the lamb from the authorities in a cyberpunk reality and scours the shadiest parts of the city to find a way to get back into the game.
