Miyabi always had dreams of being an architect, creating buildings that would inspire awe in others. And in the VMMORPG Yume Sekai, he was finally able to achieve that dream - even if his constructions were used entirely to house marriage proposals.

After confirming that he was spirited away, Miyabi discovers that all of his crafting skills from the game are intact here. No longer tethered to his job in the real world, Miyabi now has a real goal: to build his own house and family.
