### Summary
Rakurou Hizutome, a high school student and expert "shitty game" connoisseur, is convinced to try the wildly popular VRMMO, Shangri-La Frontier. True to his nature, he creates an avatar named Sunraku, skips the prologue, and min-maxes his character by forgoing armor in favor of a simple bird mask. His unconventional approach and elite skills, honed by years of beating broken games, immediately lead him off the beaten path and into an encounter with a powerful Unique Monster far beyond the scope of a starting player. Elsewhere, another top player, the heavily armored Psyger-0, makes their presence known, hinting at the high-level competition awaiting Sunraku.
