Get ready to login to the most successful online game ever! "The World" is now played by millions of people across the globe. Players can trade items, form parties, and go on quests.

He also has some rather unique abilities, including a monster that defeats his enemies for him. These unusual circumstances make Tsukasa curiosity to some, and a target to others.
During his wanderings, he meets a variety of people.He has no idea, however, that these chance encounters may become his only hope of being freed from the grip of The World.

From the same all-star team that created the video game: Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion), Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell), and Koichi Mashimo (Noir).
