What makes you game? For every 100 amazing games, there are a thousand that are not good. This is the story of Rakuro Hizutome, a man who loves, and is loved by, crappy video games, and his journey in the world of Shangri-La Frontier, one of the greatest video games of all time. The ultimate "Game x Fantasy" story, about a "crappy game hunter" who challenges one of the greatest games ever made!

Rakuro fights the Ravenous Python, arrives in the game's second town, and explores its weapons crafting system before venturing out at night.

The battle with Lycagon the Nightslayer leaves Sunraku in an unexpected situation. Soon after, he's barreling down the rabbit hole to a new adventure!

Sunraku agrees to train under Vysache and he's saddled with the Vorpal Soul Collar which decreases his EXP gain but increases stat point rewards upon leveling up. Afterward Emul offers to join Sunraku's party and they set off for Thirdrema.

On their way to Thirdrema, Sunraku an Emul encounter the area boss Mud Digger in the middle of a swamp which greatly reduces their movement. Being at a disadvantage Sunraku needs figure out how his newly evolved skills work so he can take Mud Digger down.

Sunraku encounters Arthur Pencilgon, whom he knows as Pencil Knight from another game called "Unite Rounds". She brings with her a message that he either publish what he knows about the unique scenario or wear a target on his back.

Sunraku manages to stave off his attackers and reach Thirdrema, where he and Emul then travel back to Rabituza. Emul then takes Sunraku to the Vorpal Colosseum where he's pitted against 10 opponents to further his training.

The 10th opponent in the Rabituza arena is the Aberrant Woodmage, a powerful foe combining fast attacks with magic. Underleveled and understatted, Sunraku only needs to survive five minutes to win... but can he make it happen?!

Sunraku has to make it out of town so he can move on to the Prismatic Forest Grotto, but Ashura Kai and Psyger-0 stand in his way. Once he reaches the grotto itself, a dazzling array of sights await him!

Sunraku continues his way through the Prismatic Forest Grotto where he encounters the area boss Clown Spider. He tells Emul to stay back as he wants to solo it first try with a no-hit run.

Sunraku speaks with Vysache about their plans to defeat Wethermon the Tombguard. After their discussion Vysache decides to help Sunraku in his endeavor by ascending his weapons.

Pencilgon sends Sunraku and Oikatzo to the Iron Ruins of the Divinity to grind their levels to at least level 50. While there they encounter the Lifestide Lake Serpent monster.

Pencilgon, Sunraku, and Oikatzo make their way to find the NPC Setsuna of Bygone Days, Wethermon's former lover. She presents to them the Unique Scenario "From the Living World, With Love" which they accept.

Sunraku has encountered a new player named Dragonfly in "BERP". The two engage in a series of matches with bug exploits allowed. Afterwards Sunrakru heads to Rabituza to link his skills at the Skill Garden.

On the night of the new moon, the members of Ashura Kai are ambushed by a group of allied clans including Psyger-0. Meanwhile, Sunraku, Oikatzo, and Pencilgon confront Wethermon the Tombguard at the Hidden Garden.

Sunraku and the others are engaged in a battle against Wethermon the Tombguard, and making full use of resurrection items. Ten minutes have passed since the battle began and Wethermon summons his tactical mount "Kirin".

The battle with Wethermon the Tombguard moves to its next phase. Pencilgon and Oikatzo, exploiting rare items, focus on Kirin who has transformed into a suit of armor. Meanwhile Sunraku goes on the offensive to defeat Wethermon before he crumbles away.

Items are depleted, weapons and gear are on the verge of breaking, and Wethermon continues his Clear Sky Conquest barrage on Sunraku while Pencilgon and Oikatzo continue their efforts to dismantle Kirin Armor. Sunraku goes all-in to finish the fight.

Wethermon falls into a slumber and Setsuna of Bygone Days leaves behind a hint that will lead to the truth about SLF. Wethermon's subjugation is reported to all players in game. Now, standing before the battle-weary trio are angry members of Ashura Kai...

Utopia, SLF's development company, is in a tizzy over the defeat of Wethermon the Tombguard. Sunraku is excited to kick off his bonus unique scenario Vorpal Epic. He then decides to check out the loot he received from defeating Wethermon.

"Unique monsters make money" Pencilgon suggests forming a clan with Sunraku and Oikatzo. After temporarily splitting, Sunraku returns to the Palace of Rabituza with the Non-Standard Ether Reactor he received from Oikatzo and comes up with a great idea."

Bilac accepts Sanraku's proposal and they head to the Canyon of Ancient Souls to obtain the magic operations unit necessary for becoming an Ancient Craftsman. Lycagon's Mark causes weak monsters to flee, then they encounter the rare Dullahan General.

Sunraku returns to the Canyon Ancient Souls, where he encounters a swarm of Crystal Scorpions that are over level 100. Struggling to acquire the rare materials he seeks, Sunraku watches the scorpions' movements and comes up with a secret plan...

Bilac finds jewelry among Sunraku's loot. In order to show them to a jeweler, she introduces Sunraku to Aramiys, the swordsman of Cazzeria, and vice captain of the Musketeers in Boots. Later they head to Eighthold where they encounter the Professor.
