"Falling Out 1" is the fifteenth released episode of Zero Game by Zelbasen. Upon completing Level One and depleted of their stamina, Hanna and Alex are ambushed by Elliot's guild.
Plot
In the Backyard Garden, Elliot pleasantly requests Rosaline Kim to accompany him on his next mission. Persuaded by his charms, Rosaline complies, addressing him as the White Hound Guild Master.
At the backdoor of Level One, Hanna and Alex thank Eva and Kate Lee for their assistance in Level One and hands them The Basics of P.E.. They part ways, Alex and Hanna heading towards the forest, Eva and Kate back to the Red Village. Hanna muses aloud how it is nice to have camaraderie with a sibling before realizing Alex cannot relate, having Elliot as an enemy. Suddenly, a large number of players donned in White Hound garb surround the two of them. Realizing Elliot's guild members took advantage of Hanna and Alex's drained stamina, Alex quickly becomes aggravated.
Meanwhile, Mr. X and Loveme discuss Mr. X's stunt as the Ability Shop part-timer. As they stroll under the moonlight, Loveme accuses Mr. X of allowing Hanna to copy the Flame skill without permission, an action worthy of a job dismissal. He assures her that since the Game System permitted it, Loveme probably would do the same had she been the one to meet Hanna at the Ability Shop. Mr. X then checks the number of people in the Backyard Garden and is horrified to see only nine users are left. Loveme explains that Jay, taking advantage of Loveme's Foreseeing skill, moved his guild out of the Backyard Garden to participate in his "Treasure Hunt." Once the guild disguises themselves as the White Hound and attacks Hanna and Alex, Jay will rescue them and gain their trust.
The "treasure" that Jay seeks is the 100,000 LP Elliot hid inside Alex. Loveme explains that since Alex himself does not even know the Life points are hidden inside him, Jay needs to get close to them to gather more clues.
Back in the forest, Hanna and Alex are powerless against the overwhelming might of Jay's guild. Vincent Kang removes his White Hound mask and poses as a former teammate of Alex. Exhausted and befuddled, Alex pointedly says he does not recognize him from Blue Moon. While Vincent is distracted, Alex uses telepathy to tell Hanna to run away. Hanna furiously refuses, but as Alex tries to free himself, Vincent attacks him.
