In the brutal virtual reality game Shangri-La Frontier, Rokuro Hizutome, a skilled “bug buster,” embarks on a dangerous adventure as his avatar, Sunraku. Facing formidable enemies and overcoming countless challenges, Sunraku forms a team with Emul, a mischievous rabbit, and other companions.

In season 1, Sunraku acquired the Mark of Lycagon. This curse, a direct result of his encounter with Lycagon, one of the game’s most powerful creatures, significantly altered his journey. It not only weakened Sunraku but also granted him unique abilities and potential.
