It's the year 2034, in almost two decades there was a scientific breakthrough enough to shake the world, it was to simulate a world so real, you could mistake it for real life. The first ever application of this proprietary technology, known as NR, was for the first ever, NR-RPG game, MARKIS.

After almost 25,000 people had logged on, it was then known that they wouldn't be able to exit out of the game. Essentially trapping them inside. Removing the headset will mean death.

It was then that Miyamoto Takezo, the creator of MARKIS and the NR technology showed himself in front of them.

He said "If you want to get back to your once happy and loved life, then you will need to finish this game. You who surpass all will be the ones to free the rest. For that is the mission that I have given you. Survive, survive and reach newer heights, reached by no one else."

This is the story of a boy and his friend, as they struggle through this world all to get back to their real lives.
