In the near future of Austin, TX, Jin is struggling to regain his former glory in the VR gaming arena. In the midst of a massive losing streak, Jin doesn't know what his future holds. As a middle school dropout, VR gaming is all that Jin has. Despite his efforts, he finds himself constantly falling short of his goals, and despite advice that he should quit, he can't bring himself to do so.

Will Jin even have the chance to face Magnus?
