In the not-so-distant
future, mankind has
begun to live in
places other than just
the surface of the Earth.
However, human desire
knows no bounds. Not satisfied with the
real world, people have taken to living their lives in virtual
reality created by computers.
The virtual world of Nexus...
Conveniently accessible from anywhere in the world, via
network, Nexus has become a part of everyday life.
As time passed, unmanaged, neglected areas in the data
servers appeared. However, people continue to live even
here, in the forgotten corners of Nexus.
And then, there are those who access these forgotten areas,
and search for lost data. These explorers have come to be
known as "Treasure Hunters."
Acropolis – a man-made city
built atop the ocean. Its primary
purpose is for underwater
mining, but it finds itself
under continual pressure
from major corporations
eager to gain control of the
abundant energy resources.
But to carefree youngsters like Sei and
Hayami, that is a world apart from where they
spend their days. Sei is absorbed in an upcoming air
bike race he plans to enter, and his friend Hayami has now
urged him to try his hand at Treasure Hunting. With the
money they can make from collecting rare Data Chips, they
can buy all the parts they need to finish preparing the air bike.
When Sei's father Jen, a Nexus engineer, gave him a high
spec Hunter Glove for his birthday, Sei didn't really understand
what it was. Hayami assured him however that it was
capable of fantastic things!
So with that, Sei decided to give it a try as he excitedly
logged into the Nexus Server. Unbeknown to him, events
had transpired inside the Nexus, that would soon impact on
the real world outside.
