You wake up in your guild base, confused by the in-game clock ticking up after hitting zero, expecting to be disconnected from the game due to it shutting down, but instead unbeknownst to you, you have been transported to the New World.

Confused about your situation, you attempt to get your bearings and figure out just what is going on.
