Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

The good news is that Ember has transmigrated. The bad news is that he has arrived in the unforgiving world of Dark Souls III. Fortunately, he has access to a chat group for support, but something seems distinctly off about its membership. Kevin insists he is no savior, merely an ordinary worker who just moved into the Golden Courtyard. The Doctor is equally confused, lamenting the absence of a certain girl and questioning why a mysterious masked man is opening coffins instead; he demands to be recognized as a Reunion college student rather than the Doctor of Rhodes Island. Meanwhile, Star claims no knowledge of any Trailblazers, identifying herself only as a staff member at the Black Tower Space Station. Ember is left reeling at the realization that every member of his chat group appears to be a character from obscure side stories rather than main protagonists. Setting aside whether this eclectic group can even help him defeat Professor Gudari, they face a far more immediate and surreal crisis: a rainy night on an overpass, a Maybach, and a towering figure ahead riding a magnificent horse. Ember concludes that joining this chat group might have been a mistake, yet since he is already here, he may be their only hope.
