Since Rakurou "Sunraku" Hizutome first logged into the virtual reality title Shangri‑La Frontier, he has become enamored. Sunraku earned renown by defeating two of the seven nearly invincible, distinctive beasts—an accomplishment most players find impossible. His ascent has attracted the attention of NPCs and rival adventurers alike, many of whom now seek his counsel. To advance the narrative, he ventures with Emul to retrieve a mystical operational device from a forge hidden deep within the game's forgotten ruins.
While Sunraku easily completes this mission with clanmates Towa "Arthur Pencilgon" Amane and Kei "OiKatzo" Uomi, there appears to be a hidden motive behind their willingness to assist him. They likely hope to gain access to the same powerful artifact or to leverage his influence. Still, Sunraku acquires knowledge and allies for his progression. By confronting formidable foes and uncovering the game's inner mechanics, Sunraku could ultimately reshape Shangri‑La Frontier forever.
