A veteran player had spent ten years using Neris, his cute alchemist alt, as little more than a place to store his items.

Then Aetherna Online shut down.

Instead of logging out, he woke up in Neris's small body, complete with an unusually old-fashioned way of speaking. Worse, he was trapped inside her personal house, with no apparent way to leave.

At least he still had his inventory. He didn't need to eat, either. With nothing else to do, he could simply wait.

That is, until a bleeding stranger suddenly showed up at his door.

It seems this abandoned warehouse character's quiet retirement isn't going to be so quiet after all.
