The Western VRMMO 『Demondal』was known for its extraordinarily harsh game system. There were no levels. There were no skills. There were no guilds. There was no inventory. There were no convenient messaging or map functions of any kind. It was so unnecessarily realistic that it was basically a virtual-reality simulator of life in a medieval setting.

The only game-like elements were proficiencies gained from wielding weapons and enhancing one’s physical strength. Since it was a fantasy game, magic did exist, although making a contract with a spirit was exceedingly difficult; only one percent of the player population were magicians.

One day Kei, known for his mastery of horseback archery in 『Demondal』, and his Russian friend were transported to a parallel world. The original, severe game had just become even more severe--and absolutely real.
