Akane Kinoshita, grappling with heartbreak after a painful breakup, seeks solace in the virtual world of Forest of Savior, an online multiplayer game shared with her former partner. Driven by a desire to confront her ex-boyfriend, she orchestrates a real-world event tied to the game. This leads her to Akito Yamada, a renowned figure within the gaming community and fellow guild member.

Initially seeking only practical assistance, Akane finds herself unexpectedly connecting with Yamada. Their contrasting personalities spark as they navigate both in-game challenges and personal vulnerabilities. The series explores themes of emotional healing, the complexities of online relationships, and the surprising connections forged through shared passions. As they work together, a nuanced bond begins to develop, challenging their preconceived notions about each other and themselves within the digital and real worlds.
