The story revolves around a network game called “The World”. It takes place four years after the “Twilight” incident (from the PS2 game), which not only shook the game world, but also the real world.
CyberConnect Corporation (CC Corporation), the creator and operator of The World, held a “Limited Edition Character” campaign for The World players and participants. The prize of the campaign is the Limited Edition Character itself: the legendary “Kite” and “Black Rose” from the “.hackers” data that was prohibited since the Twilight incident.
