In
the near future of 2005, the online world is corrupted by
a internal virus called Pluto's Kiss. Two years later, after
people access the Internet once again virus free, CC Company
releases its latest product, a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer
Online Role Playing Game) that over 20 million people world
wide found most interesting to play. You even got to wear
a cool visor headset, login with your very own player character,
and even have your own attack class. These included Wavemasters,
or in other words a sorcerer, and Heavy Bladers.
The setting of the game is a fantasy world made up of vast
fields and dungeons to fight in, and towns to shop in; you
can even join parties to gain exp quicker, and also chat
with other players while playing and trade items. This game
is called, The World. You travel place to place by going
to Chaos Gates, you battle with magic and might, and players
choose their online attitude that they wish to play as.
This game is called, The World. You travel place to place
by going to Chaos Gates, and players choose their online
attitude that they wish to play as. But what happens when
attitude reaches its limits, and when you suddenly can't
leave The world?
.Hack//Sign takes place mostly in The World. You don't get
to see very much from the real world, only small glimpses
at a time. In The World, the main character is Tsukasa,
a Wavemaster who finds himself in a dungeon having no memory
of how he got there or why. Not so long after, Mimiru a
young and perky Heavy Blader confronts Tsukasa while seeking
her treasure. Becoming concerned about Tsukasa's choice
of words and actions, Mimiru tries to understand Tsukasa
and why he wont be more friendly to her, and why he wont
accept her help.
Tsukasa begins to think more about the position that he
is in, and starts to realize that he cant remember anything
from the outside world. He also can't seem to log out of
The World, and doesn't know why he is in The World to begin
with. Progressing into the show, Tsukasa begins to realize
just how much The World smells, feels and even tastes like
the real world, he is also able to teleport to parts of
The world that are inaccessible to other players.
By heart, Tsukasa seems like a lost scared kid, but he doesn't
seem to mind the fact that he cant log out. In result of
Tsukasa's rash behavior, he attracts a lot of wanted, and
unwanted attention, such as the Crimson Knights who are
moderators of The World, and do not tolerate any odd behavior
within the system. The Crimson Knights first encounter Tsukasa
only to know more information about a cat-like PC called
Maha, the reason for its feline appearance is for the fact
that its owner hacked the character codes.
Tsukasa gets persuaded by other characters such as Mimiru
and Bear, a strong Blademaster, BT a beautiful and powerful
Wavemaster, Subaru a optimistic and watchful Heavy Axer,
Sora a ruthless and annoying Twin Blader and Krim a kind
and loyal Long Arm. They all become involved in Tsukasa's
sad and wondering situation, and are all more then willing
to find out the reasons to why Tsukasa is here, and why
he cant log out.
