“Dream World” is the most popular realistic VR (virtual reality) game that caters to more than half of the people on a futuristic Earth. An ordinary teenager who sets his game name to Scott Wayland enters the virtual world as a beginner player near the city of Lucis.
The story starts when, a few years later, his mentor dies and gives him an ultimate quest which Scott has no choice but to strive to complete. In the middle of his mission, he encounters a high-level Sorceress who helps him on his quest by recruiting five other players to raid the fortress of the man who killed his mentor in cold blood.
