Throughout the ages, mankind stood undefeated, unwavering in the face of challenges... Until this unprecedented moment.
The global gaming landscape had never witnessed anything like 'CyberGrounds'. It wasn't just a game; it was a revolution, and Hiroshi Tanaka was its torchbearer. Rising from obscurity, battling formidable opponents, and outsmarting every challenge, Hiroshi was tantalizingly close to touching the revered Immortal rank when, in an unexpected twist, the game vanished from the scene.
When 'CyberGrounds' resurfaced years later, it wasn't just another game making a comeback. It had metamorphosed into the pioneering VRMMO Esport, drawing players from every corner of the world. Hiroshi, driven by nostalgia and ambition, plunged into this new realm, along with multitudes drawn by its seductive allure. But the grandeur was a facade. Hiroshi and millions of players soon found themselves ensnared in a treacherous digital labyrinth where the lines between the virtual and the real blurred. In this realm, in-game fatalities had harrowing real-world ramifications. And the ticket to salvation? Achieving the elusive Immortal Rank.
Entangled in this malevolent web, Hiroshi sets forth on a perilous odyssey to navigate the perils of Arc Sanctuary. But as he delves deeper, he realizes that the game's landscape isn't the only thing that has transformed. Relationships, allies, and even old adversaries - everything is cloaked in ambiguity, and trust becomes a luxury in a world where the old norms no longer apply.
