After his execution, Rinc wakes up inside a computer game.
He is a full-time villain in a multiplayer online game. His body is in a zero-gravity water tank in a haptic suit with a virtual reality helmet. His mind is in the post-apocalyptic world the game offers its players. The players fight to survive. Rinc fights with his life at stake.
Sumiko on the other hand is a player who bought the game to leave the boring reality.
For her, the game means freedom.
The game is Burnt, and their owners will do anything to keep the players playing.
And they sure don't want them to know that a real human being dies when a player kills a villain.
