In 2016, the virtual reality MMORPG 'The World R:2' launches, rebuilt after the original's destruction. A new player named Haseo joins, only to be immediately killed by other players for amusement. He is saved and revived by the enigmatic, one-armed player Ovan, who introduces him to the game and his friend, the Harvest character Shino. Haseo finds companionship and spends a peaceful first year exploring this digital world with them.

This tranquility is violently shattered when Shino is attacked and her character killed by a figure known as Tri-Edge, whose victims in the game fall into comas in reality. Consumed by grief and rage, Haseo vows to hunt down Tri-Edge and exact revenge. His quest for vengeance leads him to join Ovan's guild, the Twilight Brigade, which is itself searching for a legendary in-game artifact called the 'Key of the Twilight.'
