Shugo Kunisaki is a player who wins a special chibi version of Kite&#039;s avatar in a contest developed by Aura. He originally believes himself to have outgrown video games, but after winning the character along with his sister, Rena, who won a version of BlackRose&#039;s avatar, the two join the game. He lacks planning skills and is incapable of turning down the requests of others. He is given a version of Kite&#039;s Twilight Bracelet by Aura that does not harm humans. Aura&#039;s plan is to motivate Shugo by allowing him to be a hero, after meeting and talking to him using another player&#039;s character in the past.

Winning the legendary characters “Kite” and “Black Rose” from an event held by the creators of the MMORPG ‘The World,’ Shugo and his twin sister Rena steps into ‘The World’. Together they completed events and quests, along with their new friends Ouka, Mirelle, Hotaru and Sanjuro. Soon after, mysterious monsters appeared, and death by these monsters caused players to slip into a coma in the real world. Only Shugo and Rena can solve this problem, but why are they being targeted, and what secrets is the game hiding?<br><br>
