Eternal Art Online：Phantom Swordsman

By 2038, the Neural Link Technology will have revolutionized human perception. *Eternal Art Online* (EAO) – a groundbreaking full-dive VRMMORPG. With just the "Mind Gear" helmet, one’s consciousness can roam freely through the epic world of swords and sorcery. Here, every strike stems from a soul-driven force. Hidden Classes embody untold power, and in-game currency can even be exchanged for real-world wealth. Kiriya Noir, codenamed "The Reaper in Black," is a top-tier player and a Lone Ranger. On a rainy night, an impulsive act of intervention leads him to save Lina, a mysterious white-haired, crimson-eyed girl. Little does he know, this kindness would instantly shatter the barrier between reality and virtuality. For she is the first successfully digitized human consciousness – an AI entity capable of moving from the game into the real world. Hunted by Hollow, a transnational tech organization, she holds the key to "the Cage of Immortality." When Lina gifts him a cryptic code, Kiriya steps into the Pure White Trial Grounds within EAO. The moment he defeats his reflection, the system booms: "[Hidden Class: Phantom Swordsman activated!]" Phantom clones, sword following the heart’s will. From that moment on, the lone warrior embarks on an unparalleled journey.
