Synopsis:

Returning to his childhood home in Kaminohara, Ren Homura is met with fragmented memories and an unsettling discovery. A mysterious game called "Monster Strike" has appeared on his repaired cell phone, triggering an immediate and dangerous confrontation. Suddenly stranded on the rooftop of his school, Ren witnesses a bizarre display as his attacker summons creatures seemingly ripped from the game's world.

Forced to defend himself, Ren is guided by Oragon, a diminutive dragon who promises to vanquish the threats. However, Oragon’s diminutive size presents a significant obstacle. The series explores themes of identity and belonging as Ren navigates this strange new reality, grappling with forgotten pasts and an unpredictable world where digital fantasy bleeds into tangible danger. The narrative blends action with elements of mystery, examining how ordinary individuals cope when confronted with extraordinary circumstances.
