Profile
"I’m going to rest"

- Yomiya

On the other side of the lake on the other side of the mountains, there is an enormous mansion; this place is far away from any sign of human life. By the lake near the mountains, the peaceful estate encircled by forest is indeed Yomiya’s home. Perhaps for him who is always in a languid state, expression using the setting of sleep can better reflect this place's importance; after all sleep is an important activity occupying an absolutely dominant position in his everyday planning. Most of the time, Yomiya will not step out of his own bedroom. It’s not that he doesn’t like connecting with people, just that in places where people gather it's very hard to find a suitable place to sleep at any time, so it’s hard for him to accept. However, because of some rather special fate, he still has a couple of friends outside the internet. In order to pass some tedious waking time, and simultaneously to fulfil his own desire to share his happiness with more people, when his occasional guest the good-natured gangster dog mentioned VirtuaReal to him, Yomiya immediately took interest and very quickly got his friends to join together.
