In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Akihiko Kayaba, called NerveGear. It was the first full-dive system, and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs. In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is "Ordinal Scale" (OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma.

Asuka Empire—a long-living Japanese-style VRMMO game that started service in the midst of the SAO Incident. This game, where Yuuki, Ran and the others formed the Sleeping Knights guild, also had a hidden story―― The battle miko Nayuta and the ninja Koyomi. The two girls who met in Asuka Empire by chance and became friends encountered a strange priest in-game. The elderly priest wished to request help from a "detective" to "solve" a certain quest and he planned to pay 1,000,000 yen for the job. The two girls were shocked by the exorbitant payment, but the detective who accepted the strange request was an equally strange young man. All of his stat points were invested into luck―meaning that he was a tricky player who was absolutely weak in battle, but had an extremely high rare item drop rate... The solution of the mystery in a cutting-edge VRMMO world by the shady detective, along with the two girls, now begins. (Source: Dreadful Decoding)
