Shugo Gendo, a recently retired young man, is suddenly faced with a financial crisis due to urgent family circumstances. With nowhere else to turn, he enters a mysterious virtual game called “Melloworld”, which promises real-world cash rewards. 2m5v25

Inside the game, Shugo teams up with two unexpected allies: Ayana Himekawa, a wildly popular streamer, and Hikaru Morioka, a rich but eccentric gamer.

The trio starts making fast progress, taking on quests and gathering rewards. But soon, they begin to sense something is off. The enemies feel too real. The stakes—too high. And the world—eerily familiar.

As they dig deeper into the truth behind Melloworld, a shocking revelation emerges:

The desolate, post-apocalyptic game world is not fiction— it’s the future of Earth.

A god-like entity controlling the game has been steering humanity toward that dark destiny. Now, Shugo and his party must do the impossible: defeat the “god” behind the game, rewrite the future, and save the real world.
