For .hack fans all over the world, the time has finally come- for Kadokawa's new novel, "Epitaph of Twilight", comes out on the first of May in Japan (less than a month from now!) As a prequel to everything- every .hack game, anime, manga and novel out there- all of our questions to this mysterious tale will finally be answered. What is the Epitaph of Twilight, and what are its origins? We have encountered it numerous times, its pieces scattered throughout the series in fragments, which are always deeply interlinked with the plot. We could even say it is the center, the core of The World that we have become so enthralled with. Thus, it comes as a great pleasure and surprise when we may finally begin this journey to the origins of .hack...

He forgets to log off- thus, when she discovers his game during his absence, Lara finds herself immersed in a brilliant new world- that of the Epitaph of Twilight. A golden field spreads out in front of her, and the tale begins...
