==Overview==
===The Apocalypse arc===
On May 3, 2018, thirty thousand Japanese players of the popular MMORPG Elder Tale found themselves trapped in -- or a world startlingly similar to -- the game. A reclusive yet well-known Enchanter, Shiroe, is among them. After quickly contacting his long-time in-game friend Naotsugu, a Guardian, the two of them wander about the streets of Akihabara, their player city. While assessing the situation, they are found by Shiroe's friends, a bubbly female Cleric named Maryelle and the relatively more composed Henrietta, whom they exchange information with. After some days of exploration, they meet yet another of Shiroe's companions, a stoic Assassin named Akatsuki. "He" turns out to be a "she," trapped in her initially-male avatar, saved from her plight thanks to Shiroe's possession of a rare appearance-changing potion. Because of this, she dedicates herself to him as her "ninja," and together, the three work on honing their fighting skills as they witness the deteriorating situation in the city.
