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?
Heed the howl of battles to come—the Wolf Wars are on the horizon! Sunraku’s team has defeated Ctarnidd, their second Colossus takedown, and it isn’t long before the entire player base finds out. And with a certain famed swordsman reaching out to Pencilgon, the Schwarz Vulf clan is now facing deep internal divisions. Will things be brought over the brink by the Wolf-Gang, or by a certain new menace shrieking from the faraway new land? A new chapter kicks off in the saga!
