Synopsis:

In a near-future where digital dueling has evolved into a virtual reality network called Link Vrains, high school student Yuusaku Fujiki becomes embroiled in a complex conflict. Playing as the enigmatic avatar "Playmaker," he discovers an anomaly within the network – a remnant of a powerful artificial intelligence program sought after by a shadowy organization known as the Knights of Hanoi. This group, led by the elusive Revolver, aims to eradicate the AI, sparking a series of digital battles and investigations.

Partnering with Shouichi Kusanagi, Playmaker navigates the intricate landscape of Link Vrains, uncovering secrets from the past while confronting both the Knights of Hanoi and the powerful corporation, SOL Technologies. The narrative explores themes of identity, artificial intelligence, and the blurred lines between the real and virtual worlds as Yuusaku strives to unravel a conspiracy that could reshape reality itself. The series presents a blend of strategic dueling and suspenseful mystery within a visually dynamic digital environment.
