Storyline:
Following the journey of the protagonist Haseo, a novice player who seems to wield a mysterious power as yet unknown to him, when he plays the game and gets embroiled in the in-game conflicts.

It is the year 2017, and the world's most popular online role-playing game is known as "The World R:2". This virtual borders on lawlessness as player killers - characters who roam the game solely to kill other characters - turn the virtual world into their private playground.

Amidst the chaos, rumours are rife of a merciless player killer named Tri-Edge. When Haseo is targeted for a player-kill shortly after joining the game, he decides to join the enigmatic Ovan, in the quest to find the "Key of the Twilight", a legendary item in the game.

However, as Haseo get drawn deeper into the game, he discovers secrets about the characters, including his friend, Ovan that reveal they are not what they initially appear to be. Also, unknown to Haseo, the quest will ultimately lead him to Tri-Edge and steer him towards the bitter path of revenge.

My End Verdict
This anime inspired me with it's twisted storyline, but they dragged too long which makes it tedious. Rather then feeling excited it actually cast boredom to fallow viewers. What a sabotage!

Rating: 2/5. Don't watch, unless you got nothing better to do! =/
