“When was the last time I played a game that wasn’t crap?” In this near-future world, only games that utilize display screens are considered retro. Anything that fails to match the cutting-edge VR technology gets tagged as a “crap game,” and the market is flooded with them. People who dedicate their lives to beating these lackluster games are known as “crap-game hunters.” One of the best in the business is Rakuro Hizutome, and his next challenge is Shangri-La Frontier—a “god-tier game” boasting a whopping thirty million players. Online friends… An expansive world… Encounters with rivals… These are changing Rakuro and all the other players’ fates!
