| Flashback to earlier, university student Karen Kohiruimaki has a bit of a complex about her height. Often standing a full head over most other people she meets, she turns to playing Virtual Reality games as a means of momentary escapism. After trying a huge amount of games in which the player's avatar is randomly generated, Karen finally lucks out when she tries Gun Gale Online and finds herself as the diminutive Llenn. Not exactly the kind of game she is used to, Karen puts up with the intense atmosphere and eventually grows to love the world inside the game. She even eventually gains the reputation and name of the "Pink Devil" for her frequent player killings out in the Wasteland. This also leads her to meeting her first in game friend, Pito, an experienced player who was intrigued by the rumors of a terrifying player who was feared throughout the wastes. |

| Their randomly generated starting positions unfortunately put Llenn and Pito on opposite sides of the battlefield. To make matters worse, Fukaziroh is incapacitated by an enemy trap but soon gets to see that Llenn is a force to be reckoned with when she holds off the attacking squad all on her own. As they hunker down waiting for Fukaziroh's legs to regenerate, the other squads continue to stalk each other out.
