Miko Kurono is a lesser-known streamer, "Necronomico," who plays video games for her small audience. She has been covering the hospital bills of her close friend and fellow streamer, Mayu Mayusaka, ever since she and other popular streamers mysteriously fell into a coma three months ago.
Desperate for money, Miko agrees to participate in a top-secret beta test for a cutting-edge VR game. After clearing the first level, she and six other streamers come face-to-face with the Old Ones—ancient, evil gods who have returned to take over the Earth but are currently trapped inside the VR world.
