But an old acquaintance from the net, "Mordred", contacts him and suggests they meet. Mordred turns out to be Niki who looks astonishingly like Juri. Juri sees a web address tattooed on Niki's arm and types it on his computer. He starts a game that gives him the user name RAT KING. Now friends, Niki promises to help Juri finish a dangerous game.
