Synopsis:

In "The World," a popular MMORPG, siblings Shugo and Rena find themselves unexpectedly immersed within the game's virtual landscape after winning a special event. Alongside a diverse group of new companions – Ouka, Mirelle, Hotaru, and Sanjuro – they navigate quests and challenges in this vibrant world. However, their initial excitement gives way to unease as strange creatures begin appearing, and those who succumb to their attacks enter a permanent coma in the real world. As Shugo and Rena investigate these unsettling occurrences, they uncover a growing mystery surrounding their own connection to the game and hidden truths within "The World" that threaten both the virtual and real realms. The series explores themes of identity, responsibility, and the blurred lines between reality and simulation through its blend of action and character-driven narrative.
