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 bir...

Despair reigns supreme within the fangs of the serpent god! Sunraku has joined the front lines in Rabituza's struggle against its reptilian nemesis, but Goldhuneenay the Inexhaustible has just revealed her true form…and then the real assault begins! The hatred she exudes at all times has a literal corrosion effect on the vorpal bunnies fending her off-and it isn't long before this Colossus and her overwhelming force throws the adventurers into one serious crisis! Later, the fated clan batt...

After settling matters with Rust over in Nephilim Hollow, Sunraku's back in Shangri-La Frontier, searching for a new unique monster-Ctarnidd of the Abyss! Psyger-0 lends him a hand as he hacks his way through a dungeon…but then SF-Zoo, a clan he thought they had an alliance with, blocks his way! And as the players bicker with each other, a silent shadow looms over them-as the Emperor of the Night reappears!

It's time for the final confrontation with Ctarnidd of the Abyss, one of the Seven Colossi! As they take on his ultimate form, Sunraku's party prepares to unleash their most powerful finisher-the killer move Armageddon, as provided by Psyger-0! “The true essence of life lies in conflict”…and now its shine is about to reach the god in his abyss!

The serpent of hate must be resisted, as the game shifts toward a curse-hunting quest! Having acquired the necessary items for a Unique Scenario, Sunraku rushes over to Vysache. The vorpal boss not only “ascends” his twin Moonblades, but informs him of a way to get Lycagon's Contusion off his body! The key lies in a curse aimed at humans, bunnies, and the world itself...and it all leads to Goldhuneenay the Inexhaustible, one of the Seven Colossi! Just as things are heating up with Schwarz ...

It's time to charge into the ever-unyielding battlefield, as the game sends Sunraku into a den of giant snakes! He's defending Rabituza against the almighty Goldhuneenay, seeing to obtain the “curse” possessed by that monster. Once Aydward takes him to the front line, though, he witnesses a death zone populated by bunny warriors resolved never to return home. The only way to purge the poison consuming them is to defeat Goldhuneenay's swarms of minions…but the threats run even deeper for Su...

With the four blocker bosses defeated, Sunraku's party is ready to storm the royal palace! It's an eerily quiet place at first, but it isn't long before they finally encounter their next Colossus-Ctarnidd of the Deep. It's time for reason to be flipped on its head, as the ancient despot encounters the heavens once again! Do our explorers have the strength to defy the gods themselves?

Having survived a fierce attack by one of the Shangri-La Frontier PK clans, Sunraku goes into the fighting ring against ten powerful monsters as part of a unique scenario. He barely escapes with his life, only to then receive an invitation from his gamer friend Pencilgon to help her take down a unique monster known as Wethermon the Tombguard. With Wethermon still undefeated by any of the game's 30 million players, Sunraku may have bitten off more than he can chew!

May the secret behind the brilliant grails be shattered! The battle against Ctarnidd, one of the Seven Colossi, has reached its third stage. The effects of the Ruler of the Deep's chalices have “inverted” all kinds of things for Sunraku's party…including their genders! It's up to the team to switch up their roles, defeat Ctarnidd's trial, and dive deeper into the age of Divinity this mighty Colossus speaks to them about!

The fight against Wethermon has been a brutal battle of attrition. Entering the final phase of the boss fight, Pencilgon's team is battered, but not broken. While Sunraku goes one-on-one with Wethermon, Pencilgon and OiKatzo team up against Wethermon's mecha-steed. Most of Pencilgon's items have been depleted so the prudent course of action would be to play it safe and try to survive the theorized ten minute phase. However, Sunraku is built different and decides to challenge Wethermon head...

After diving into the god-tier VR game Shangri-La Frontier, Sunraku (a.k.a. Rakuro Hizutome) suffers a crushing defeat by the unique monster Lycagon the Nightslayer. Sunraku comes away from the encounter with a mark that prevents him from equipping anything on his legs or torso. But don't count him out yet! Joined by Emul, the gregarious vorpal bunny, he presses on along a path that will bring him face to face with terrifying new foes, and even some familiar names from the gaming world.

After meeting up with three rival clans-Schwarz Vulf, SF-Zoo, and the Library-Sunraku is back in the crystal grotto in search of weapon materials when he encounters the all-powerful Golden Scorpion! Plus, now that Bilac?s a Master Craftsman, she can activate the Legacy Weapon he earned from Wethermon. What will Sunraku do with this long-anticipated windfall?
