It is the year 30XX... Or perhaps not. Maybe it's 20GX. It's certainly not 20XX, because that's long past. That is neither here nor there, however.

The city of Maebashi, however, in the island region of Japan, is host to an experimental Virtual Reality network, wherein the city is used as a mapping resource. This is used for city planning and the like, but it is also being used for the MMORPG known as Jiganshuku. With a formidable player base, the developers are looking to expand to other cities, thus expanding the world map.

There is... one problem, however. Recently, reports of overwhelmingly powerful enemies and excruciatingly hard dungeons appearing out of seemingly nowhere have popped up in the last month or so, with claims that they also inflict harm to the players in real life, as well. While the staff have been working hard to determine the source, they could not find anything to eliminate this, and have classified them as a... virus, of sorts.

An interesting phenomenon regarding these dungeons, known as Labyrinths, is that once a party clears them, they are deleted from the world, as are any surrounding "virus" enemies. Additionally, some players appear to be receiving in-game personal messages from a mysterious person about "granting them the power to overcome the Labyrinths, and a wish, as long as they can form a contract with them".

Are you prepared to risk it all to save Jiganshuku, and possibly the world, from a looming and growing threat?
