Summary:
Bullied at school and home, Ash finds respite from his unhappy life in virtual reality games. One night, he spends his meager savings to help a homeless man, who thanks him with a copy of an old fantasy RPG called The Glass Realm. In this game, he meets a seemingly humble NPC named Ruby. She seems different than most game characters and they soon find out she's a sentient artificial intelligence who's been hidden inside the game itself.
