Synopsis:
In a near-future dominated by the immersive virtual world of OZ, society's reliance on digital simulation has reached an unprecedented level. Kenji Koiso, a gifted mathematics student and OZ moderator, finds his life unexpectedly intertwined with Natsuki Shinohara during a summer trip. Their seemingly innocent outing takes a turn when Kenji is thrust into a complex situation requiring him to assume the role of her fiancé.
While attending a family celebration, he deciphers an enigmatic coded message, inadvertently uncovering a hidden threat. This discovery reveals a deeper layer of reality within OZ and connects to a long-dormant project involving an asteroid explorer. The narrative explores themes of technological dependence, digital security, and the unexpected consequences of mathematical prowess in a world increasingly reliant on virtual spaces. The series presents a thoughtful examination of how our reliance on technology can reshape reality itself.
