## Plot

Sergy winds up in a strange world after a man named Lance found him unconscious. Lance explains to him that he is an Adventurer, which is someone that helps people in need and protects them from monsters and villain attacks.

After finishing with the quest that Lance was doing before stumbling upon Sergy, the two arrive at Nexport, a town where Adventurers come and go to gear up, rest, train and find new quests. Lance tells Sergy that some Adventurers even join forces to create Rescue Teams. Seeing that he might need it, Sergy decides to become an official Adventurer and create a Rescue Team with Lance.

But they will not be alone, as other Adventurers will become interested in Sergy's team and join him. What adventures await Sergy's team? Will he find a way to return home?

### Synopsis

#### Season 1

1. Restart: A young adult named Sergy is found by a man of his same age named Lance. Sergy has little to no memory of his past prior that moment, except for a strange image of a humanoid character being dragged into a magic gate. Lance tells him that he's an Adventurer and that he was in the middle of a mission when he came across Sergy. Seeing that he doesn't have anywhere else to go, Sergy decides to come along. Soon enough, while Lance was being in the middle of a fight, he discovers that his speed and agility have somehow improved and, armed with a dagger that he borrows from Lance, becomes a capable Adventurer as well. Their journey leads to a monster that was attacking the passerbys. It is quickly defeated by Sergy and Lance, but before dying, the monster spits out a girl with brown hair and dark blue highlights. She thanks the duo but flees the place without saying anything else.
2. The Phantoms: The night after the adventure, Lance lets Sergy stay at his house. However, the latter can barely sleep thinking of what to do now. He eventually has a realization: He must find his purpose in this world and figure out what is the reason he was brought here. The morning after, Sergy tells Lance that he has decided to continue being an Adventurer. Lance is rejoiced to hear this and shows him around Nexport, which is a meeting point for a lot of Adventurers. He says that Adventurers usually create Rescue Teams as a symbol of their joined forces, so the two create a Rescue Team. While discussing a name, they hear a tree branch snapping and the girl they rescued yesterday falls on her feet right next to them. The girl introduces herself as Yvonne, all the while pulling dramatic poses and speaking in a high and mighty tone. Upon hearing that Sergy and Lance were talking about creating a Rescue Team, Yvonne quickly offers herself to be part of it, stating that she's a mage. Just then, a group of Adventurers pass by and pick on Yvonne and tell Sergy and Lance not to let her in. Yvonne tries to shrug it off by saying they are envious of her magical prowess, but in reality, nobody wants her in their team because they state that her theatrics can get overwhelming. Yvonne already admitted that Sergy and Lance weren't going to include her in the end so she's about to leave when Sergy tells her that he will ignore what they said of her and let her join the team, something that Yvonne really appreciates. Just then, they realize that they hadn't thought of a name for their team yet, to which Sergy suggests the name "Phantoms".
3. Our first big job: After the team was created, the Phantoms started to go every now and then to accept quests or at leasts the ones that were akin to their skill level. One day, they overhear from one of the armor vendors that the kid they had as an apprentice hadn't returned from gathering materials yet and was considering issuing a rescue request. Sergy's team decided to take the quest and traveled to a mountain nearby, which was known for being filled to the brim with resources like ore. At the bottom of the mine, they saw a boy named Tim that was being attacked by cave dwellers that were tired of people stealing their ore. The monsters were defeated and scurried off and Tim thanked the Phantoms for saving them. Back at Nexport, Tim brought the materials he had left to find, but told his mentor that, rather than working at the shop, he was going to be part of Sergy's team and become their personal blacksmith.
4. Fist of Justice: The Phantoms, now composed of four members, continued taking quests to save people and defeat monsters and, through this hard work, they earned the Bronze Tier, allowing them to take on slightly more dangerous quests. Meanwhile, the Police of Nexport had been receiving multiple reports of Rescue Teams going rogue and causing kidnappings and other crimes in purpose to later on take the job offer and earn the reward money. As a result, a law was created that Rescue Teams that had recently rose a rank had to be supervised. Since the Phantoms had just raised their rank, an officer named Mariko was tasked to keep an eye on them. Mariko approached the team and explained them the issue. She reassured them by saying that it'd be temporary and once she saw they were clean, she'd leave. Sergy then came up with an idea: He suggested that his team could help out exposing these rogue Rescue Teams by trying to take on the most recently added missions and see if they had been staged or not. After some time spying on the Quest Board, a new quest was eventually added which involved rescuing a merchant and his child in a forest area. Sergy's team took the offer and rushed off to the rescue. After finding the missing people tied in a corner, the team suddenly heard footsteps so they hid, then they saw another Rescue Team named "Doomers" arriving at the spot where they found the missing people. This team was boasting how this job would give them a juicy reward that would make them achieve the highest rank in no time. Team Phantoms jumped out of their hiding, something that surprised the other team, but rather than running away, they decided to take down the Phantoms to silence them. Mariko, disgusted by the Doomers' ideals and goals, became infuriated and took on them with the help of the Phantoms. The Doomers, exposed of their crimes, got their status revoked and were no longer considered as a Rescue Team. Mariko thanked the Phantoms for helping her in this investigation and stated that not only she saw that the Phantoms were legit Adventurers, but decided to join them as well. However, the Doomers were not very happy with all this and swore their revenge on the Phantoms.
5. Mission in the snow: Team Phantoms and other Rescue Teams are sent to the snowy lands by the Elite Rescue Team to form an investigation party. Reports indicate that the Frostfang Bear, a fearsome beast that used to terrorize the area, has escaped. As they investigate, Team Phantoms is ambushed by Team Doomers, who want their revenge and were also responsible for setting the Frostfang Bear free. The beast attacks the Phantoms and the situation looks dire, but an Adventurer named Maksim shows up and helps them tame the beast. After that, Maksim joins the Phantoms, who are praised for taming the Frostfang Bear.
6. The Blinded: Some time after the previous episode, Nexport celebrates a gunslinger competition where Adventurers especialized in long-ranged weapons compete. One of the participants is a girl named Kimi, who impresses the crowd with her skills. After the competition, Sergy and Kimi see each other for a split second, but enough to make Sergy get a glimpse of a similar looking girl in his memory. Thinking that she may have a connection with Sergy's past, the rest of the team convince him to suggest her joining the Phantoms. However, Kimi accepts without a doubt. Suddenly, a royal guard from the Boreal Kingdom arrives asking for help as he's looking for a Rescue Team that can save the princess Aura, who has been kidnapped by a group of brigands. The group travels to the brigands' keep to rescue Aura and discover that the brigands were hired by a cult named The Blinded to kill Aura. Sergy's team fight The Blinded with the help of the Elite Rescue Team, who also heard the news about Aura's kidnapping. After being saved, Aura thanks the Phantoms and the Elites for saving her and states that she will join the Phantoms in order to see the world and stop being cooped up in her castle. As a reward for taking down such a dangerous cult, the Team Phantoms is granted the Silver Tier.
7. Onwards to a greater goal - Part 1: After rescuing the princess of the Boreal Kingdom, the Rescue Team "Phantoms" continued on their goal to make their team reach the highest rank. In the meantime, the "Elites" have met with the Seer of the Grand Capital, who warns them of a dangerous threat about to be unleashed. Ace, suddenly, has an idea.
8. Onwards to a greater goal - Part 2: The "Elites" arrive at Nexport looking for the "Phantoms". They explain to Sergy that they see a great potential in him and his and invites them to meet the Seer at the Grand Capital. After a long journey, the team meets the Seer, who tells them the story of the Lord of the Core, an monstrous monarch that once tried to raze the entire continent, but was sealed with his volcano. Now, a group of individuals named the Obsidian Generals are trying to resurrect him. However, he also has another revelation: Sergy is not from this world and was brought here for the purpose of stopping the Lord of the Core. Once he's done, he can return to his previous world.
9. Cinder Dust: The "Phantoms" are now temporarily residing in a villa owned by Lance's family at the Great Capital while they are looking for the Obsidian Generals. After being revealed that Sergy came from another world and that he can return to it once he's defeated the Lord of the Core, our hero begins to hesitate. At first he wanted to fidn a way to return to his world, but he was so occupied doing missions and exploring with his new friends that he had stopped thinking about it, so now these thoughts have returned... He suddenly snaps out of his internal conflict when he and his team hear the reports of a forest fire suddenly taking place near the Grand Capital. The "Phantoms" enter the area to rescue any trapped civilians, only to find out a fairy with burning red wings and clothes. The fairy is introduced as Plume, one of the Obsidian Generals.
10. Change of Heart: The "Phantoms" fight Plume after finding her the cause of the forest fire. While she is a formidable fire user, she gets overwhelmed by the "Phantoms"' teamwork, so Plume decides to escape. The scenery in front of her makes her feel emotions she never thought she'd have ever in her life and, as such, she starts to wonder if it's the right thing to bring back the Lord of the Core.
11. Volcanic Uprising - Part 1: Some time after coming across Plume, the "Phantoms" being preparing a plan to catch her and the rest of the Obsidian Generals before they can resurrect the Lord of the Core. It's at that moment when an earthquake takes place not too far off from the forest that partially burned down. The group arrives to see a sinkhole that has appeared in the middle of the plains. Thinking it might be related to the Obsidian Generals, the group descends to investigate. Plume sees them descend and hurries to warn the Obsidian Generals.
12. Volcanic Uprising - Part 2: The Obsidian General, minus Plume, are at the bottom of the sinkhole. In front of them is a burning red crack, the place where the Lord of the Core was sealed into. Plume then arrives, still hesitant, to inform about the "Phantoms"' arrival. At the same time, she is not sure how they're going to resurrect the Lord of the Core, which one of her comrades reveals: They have to use themselves as sacrifice so that the crack opens, the Lord of the Core is released and its volcano rises. Plume completely rejects the idea and flees, much to the anger of her partners. The "Phantoms" soon come across Plume, who warns them about the situation, but the "Phantoms" decide to fight the Obsidian Generals to prevent the Lord of the Core from resurrecting. However, when the group arrives at the bottom, the remaining Obsidian Generals perform the ritual and lava starts filling the sinkhole. Luckily, the "Phantoms" manage to escape.
13. The Lord of the Core: The Lord of the Core is resurrected and the volcano where he resided is visible once again. Luckily, the "Phantoms" realize something: The resurrection required all the Obsidian Generals as sacrifice, but since Plume wasn't there, the Lord of the Core is not back to his full strength. With this advantage, the group fights the Lord of the Core and emerge victorious after a long and hard battle. With the Lord of the Core defeated, however, Sergy has fulfilled his purpose in this world and is given the chance to return to his world. The rest of the group has a tearful speech to bid farewell to Sergy, who thanks them for all this time as he walks to the portal, but then... He turns back to his group. After a long time thinking about it, he has decided to stay in this world as he feels that he'd feel lonely in his old world, to the rejoice of the rest of the "Phantoms". While the Grand Capital is celebrating the Lord of the Core's defeat, Sergy notices Plume stalking in the distance. She tells him that she turned against her partners because she felt this world was worth preserving and, even though she doesn't want to admit it, she's started to like him.

#### Season 2

The demon of the skies Hurriko has been resurrected and attacks the continent with his floating fortress. After hearing about the legend of an amulet, the "Phantoms" decide to find the pieces of that amulet, believing that this amulet will seal Hurriko again.

#### Season 3

A land of mechanical beings that fell into obscurity many years ago suddenly springs back to life, but its inhabitants are hostile to anyone they find. Their prince, Hermes, comes to the "Phantoms"' presence to help him stop his father from finding the Clockwork Heart.

#### Season 4

An underwater realm is suddenly attacked by a band of pirates who kidnap the Melodic Mermaids, mermaids with the most beautiful singing voices. A young mermaid named Delphina goes to the surface world to ask for the "Phantoms"' help. The team embarks on a journey across the seas to stop Captain Aphonia from weaponizing the Melodic Mermaids' voices.

#### Season 5

One day, Sergy begins suffering blackouts constantly. The rest of the "Phantoms" are worried he might be dying, so they ask for help to the "Elites". However, they neither can come up with a reason. It is then when a mysterious figure appears and reveals a horrible truth, since Sergy's stance in this world was extended on his own volition, the world is starting to reject him and might kill him soon if he doesn't return to his world soon. After all this time living together, the "Phantoms" still aren't prepared to say goodbye to their leader and friend. Sergy, in an awake moment, decides to find the reason why the world is "rejecting him" and embarks on a journey with his friends to the edges of the continent.
