Ep. 1: Rakuro tackles glitch-free Shangri-La Frontier after burning out on trash games

1

In a future where full-dive VR dominates, Rakuro, known as Sunraku, is a hunter of low-quality "trash games" plagued by glitches. Despite his classmate Rei’s unspoken affection, Rakuro suffers mental burnout after weeks of completing these flawed titles. Persuaded by shop owner Mana, he switches to Shangri-La Frontier, a mainstream title with 30 million players and no glitches. Adopting a unique Wanderer build featuring twin blades, high luck, minimal armor, and a bird head mask, he skips the tutorial. Rakuro rapidly levels up while fighting monsters en route to Firstia, but ultimately bypasses the starting town to reach Secondil. There, he recklessly engages the area snake boss blocking the bridge, amazed by the smooth gameplay.
