In the 2030s, the immersive esports game Otherworld Battlefield, equipped with a “neural synchronization system,” becomes a global sensation. Players can awaken unique supernatural abilities, and their in-game performance directly affects their social status and wealth in the real world. Top players enjoy celebrity treatment. The System randomly pairs players as “fated partners,” forcing them to complete missions together. Failure means losing their abilities, making this the central mechanism that binds the protagonists together and brings them closer.
