In the gritty, tech-driven city of Neo-Osaka, Akai Ito ekes out a living as a delivery courier, his days an endless cycle of data drops and drudgery. Akai's world revolves around his ailing grandmother, the sole bright spot in his otherwise mundane existence. However, a chance encounter with Ryota Hashimoto, a charismatic researcher at the powerful Hayato Technologies, sparks a strange attraction and hints at a world of privilege far beyond Akai's reach. To escape his unremarkable routine, Akai immerses himself in Gaia Chronicles, a vibrant virtual world. Here, he becomes Kamichi, a Blue Mage with the unique ability to steal the powers of his enemies. Guided by his feline companion, Kage, Kamichi battles cunning goblins and explores hidden corners of the digital realm. As the lines between his two worlds begin to blur, newfound spells and unexpected alliances offer Akai a chance to fight for something more, both in the virtual realm and the unforgiving streets of Neo-Osaka.
