Story
The latest VRMMORPG, Actual Magic, has trapped an entire sixth-grade class in a deadly game with no way out. Eleven-year-old Yuuma and his friends face relentless dangers — a classmate transformed into a monster, colossal beasts at every turn — with their only ally being the demon Valac, who has possessed Yuuma’s twin sister. Guided by Valac, Yuuma’s party ventures out to rescue their missing friend Nagi, only to stumble upon an unexpected encounter.
