Jeremy fell asleep in an apple forest owned by Virtual Guy, a tech-savvy eccentric, and was pulled into a simulation as punishment for eating all the apples. After surviving 18 simulations, he found an unfinished level with no exit flag, fell through a hole into the outer simulation layers, navigated a sewer system into a city, and discovered a nearby volcano about to erupt. A helpful inventor named Sir Croakington provided a heat-protection suit. Jeremy escaped through the volcano's conduit on a wave of lava — far away from Virtual Guy.
