Second-year high school student Rakuro Hizutome loves nothing more than finding so-called “trash games” and beating the crap out of them. When he decides to change things up by playing a new, “god-tier” VR game known as Shangri-La Frontier (a.k.a. SLF), he does what he does best: min-maxes, skips the prologue, and jumps straight into action! Rakuro may be a seasoned gamer, but a meeting with an old rival will change the fate of every SLF player forever.Clad in nothing but shorts and a bird mask, Rakuro (player name: Sunraku) launches into the world of SLF. Things are going well at first as he takes down a goblin, a bunny, and even a python. But then Sunraku comes up against a huge, hard-hitting wolf known as Lycagon the Nightslayer. Will Sunraku’s years of “trash game” experience be enough, or is he about to suffer a rude awakening just a few hours into his SLF adventure?
After being humiliated by Sylvie’s Metius, Sunraku discards his plan to stall for time and ignites his vorpal soul to fight to win! After handing Sylvie a shocking loss, a final round to decide the winner begins. Kei finally makes it to the arena to witness his arch nemesis going full throttle against Sunraku. While Kei’s greatest wish is to defeat Sylvie himself, he hands Sunraku a can of Riot Blood and wishes him the best in conquering the undefeated American pro-gamer. Can a trash game expert really take down one of the world's best pros?!
