I've been overlooked by the Lawson family a hundred times over. On birthdays, they only ever get a cake for my sister, Jocelyn Lawson. When I'm sick, I lie alone in a hospital bed while they fuss around her. I tell myself to tough it out and be a good daughter, but no amount of my endurance ever earns me a drop of their favor. On my wedding day, I think I'll finally get my moment to shine, at least for once. But I'm wrong. My parents, my brother, and even my fiance—Felix Wright, the head of a mafia empire—abandon me to attend Jocelyn's graduation ceremony. They leave me standing alone at the altar, enduring the guests' whispers and pitying glances. But Felix just throws me a cold line. "It's just a wedding. We'll make it up another day." It's not the first time. At our engagement party, Jocelyn whimpers about a stomachache, and he rushes her to the hospital without a flicker of hesitation. I'm left to smile through gritted teeth, making excuses to a room full of guests. That's the moment it hits me. To them, I'll always be the spare. So, I walk away. I pack my bags and carry a secret with me—the child growing inside me. This time, I'm done waiting for their scraps of affection. I'm starting a new chapter in my life, for me and my baby.

Pada tahun 2280 dunia sudah memasuki era digitalisasi. Seluruh umat manusia memiliki avatar di metaverse. Populasi manusia yang meningkat tajam menyebabkan tempat tinggal manusia semakin menyempit. Kebutuhan akan tempat tinggal membuat umat manusia haus akan tanah. Tetapi kenyataannya berkata lain. Disinilah virtual realita menunjukkan taringnya. Arun adalah keturunan dari Sang Paraduta. Keturunan pendiri metaverse disebut Paraduta sebagai bentuk penghargaan untuk mereka, juga sebagai pembeda dari orang awam pada umumnya. Paraduta mempunyai saham yang besar pada saat pendirian metaverse, sehingga membuat tatanan pemerintahan berubah dengan tiba-tiba. Dunia metaverse dikendalikan oleh Paraduta, mengakibatkan dunia nyata juga masuk kedalam kendali mereka. Metaverse dipimpin oleh seorang Adhiraj. Osiris adalah Adhiraj pada masa Arun, ia juga adalah sepupunya Arun. Arun bisa dibilang termasuk kedalam elit bangsawan. Akan tetapi, Arun tidak suka itu semua. Arun memilih hidup bebas dibandingkan berbaur dengan elit-elit kaku tersebut. Arun suka bermain balapan liar di metaverse dan berteman dengan Gurem, julukan rakyat jelata di Metaverse. Kehipan Arun berjalan biasa saja, walaupun kadang ada naik turunnya tetapi secara keseluruhan, kehidupannya berada ditingkat yang hampir membosankan. Sampai suatu ketika, terjadi booming Bugs di Metaverse. Pasukan Penjaaga Keamanan Metaverse (PPKM) bekerja siang dan malam hampir tiada henti untuk memusnahkan Bugs yang mengganggu kehidupan di Metaverse. Kalau hanya itu saja kejadian yang menimpa Metaverse, pasti Arun akan tetap santai-santai seakan tidak terjadi apa-apa, soalnya hal seperti sudah biasa terjadi di Metaverse. Tapi kali ini berbeda, Arun dituduh bersekutu dengan dalang dibalik New Bugs ini. Arun yang hidupnya biasa saja tiba-tiba menjadi roller coaster, gali lubang tutup lubang untuk menutupi kebohongannya agar alibinya bisa dipercaya. Duduk perkaranya, Arun bersumpah dia tidak bersalah, tapi peliharaan barunya yang dia ambil dari daerah Gurem, memang agak mencurigakan. Apalagi ditambah Laksamana Bayanaka, orang nomor 1 yang sangat terpandang di Metaverse, mencurigai Arun dan selalu mengawasi gerak-geriknya. Gawat.
