Synopsis:

Akira Oono, a game developer nearing retirement, unexpectedly finds himself inhabiting the body of Hakuto Kunai, the Demon Lord within his long-abandoned MMORPG, Infinity Game. Thrust into a vibrant fantasy world he designed, Oono grapples with amnesia and the unsettling reality that his creation is far from dormant. Guided by a mysterious young girl named Aku, Hakuto embarks on a quest to unravel the circumstances of his arrival and the origins of the world's inhabitants – including a powerful demon currently hunting Aku. The narrative explores themes of responsibility, unintended consequences, and the blurred lines between creator and creation as Oono navigates a landscape teeming with both wonder and destruction, questioning his role within a world he no longer fully remembers shaping.
