Story Synopsis

Heihachi Okura is an avid mobile gamer who has spent a small fortune on gacha rolls. One day, a pull sends him tumbling into another world entirely. Cornered by monsters and out of options, he falls back on what he knows best — rolling gacha — only to watch his summoned unit materialize right before his eyes. His quest to assemble a squad of overpowered ultra-rare cuties begins.
