Once they are there, the Game Master asks them to embark on certain quests, which they have no choice but to complete.

They are horrified when they discover the truth about their new surroundings.

In the penultimate episode of season 1, Yotsuya learns that the world they are currently in is not imaginary. Instead, it’s a parallel world, making him realize that he has actually killed a man. The guilt follows him into the real world. In his every waking moment, he is reminded of what he has done. A young girl appears out of nowhere in his room. She reveals herself to be the Game Master and asks Yotsuya to accompany her as she goes to see a new player. Later in a restaurant, Yotsuya prevents the new player and his brother from killing someone, warning them that they will end up in prison if they do. Later, he speaks to the Game Master and admits that he only saved the siblings because it will make the quests easier for him and his friends.
