At the start of the global game, NPCs happily roamed in instances, completely unalert.
"We can't possibly encounter danger in the game," everyone thought.
Then, a man whose gender was listed as "?" appeared.
He immediately destroyed the first instance he was matched with. Although this attracted the NPCs' attention, not many paid it much mind.
Everyone considered it reasonable for the game to have flaws. That instance must have had design defects, which was why it collapsed.
But then, the second instance crashed.
Coincidentally, this man of indeterminate gender was also in this instance.
Some began to grow wary, while others still believed it was mere coincidence.
Clever supermarket manufacturers immediately seized the business opportunity, urgently launching a type of tag they anticipated people might need. Subsequent instances collapsed one after another, proving their decision savvy; these tags eventually sold out.
