Infinite Dendrogram Vol. 4

The year is 2043, and the world’s first full-dive VRMMORPG Infinite Dendrogram has just been released. A landmark title that pushes what is possible in gaming to new heights, it features a perfect simulation of the five senses along with lifelike NPCs and gives players a vast, hyper-realistic world to discover and explore full of infinite possibilities. Reiji Mukudori is an incoming college freshman who is finally able to buy a copy of the game nearly two years after its initial release. Taking on the name Ray Starling, he starts playing and is soon joined by his brother Shu, who is a veteran player, and Nemesis, his partner Embryo. Together, Ray begins his adventure as he learns to make a life for himself in the game and meets a variety of friends and foes alike along the way.
In Vol. 4, after defeating the giant miasma Galdranda, Ray and friends arrive in the dueling city of Gideon, where they take a well-deserved break. However, it ends up being cut short when they discover a woman being attacked in a back alley. When they try to save her, they come across a mysterious player who runs off before them, leaving them wondering who it could be.
