The player Haseo is attacked right at the beginning of the game by player killers who kill inexperienced players. But he is saved by Ovan and soon joins his guild, the Twilight Brigade. This has the goal of finding the six virus cores before the opposing guild TAN succeeds. During her adventures, Haseo gets to know the other members of the guild, some of them in real life.
