In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba, called NerveGear.

In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere.

It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market.

This game, where Yuuki, Ran and the others formed the Sleeping Knights guild, also had a hidden story―― The battle miko Nayuta and the ninja Koyomi. The two girls who met in Asuka Empire by chance and became friends encountered a strange priest in-game. The elderly priest wished to request help from a "detective" to "solve" a certain quest and he planned to pay 1,000,000 yen for the job. The two girls were shocked by the exorbitant payment, but the detective who accepted the strange request was an equally strange young man. All of his stat points were invested into luck―meaning that he was a tricky player who was absolutely weak in battle, but had an extremely high rare item drop rate...
