Then, he goes to the main hall, and then he, much to his surprise, is greeted by everyone Nikki thought to be his enemies. And then, he shockingly finds out that he was actually part of a game called ‘Login 2 Life’ by Rags. Rags found out Nikki, a true gamer and used him to create a real-life game, so that all the hardcore gamers can get in touch with the real life.
