The obsession began a few years ago, and now Warcross followers are scattered all over the world, some eager to escape reality, and others, hoping to make some money. Emika Chen, a young hacker, works as a bounty hunter, tracking down Warcross players who make illegal bets. But the world of bounty hunters is very competitive, and surviving in it becomes a real feat. Emika needs money and takes the risk of illegally entering the inaugural game of the International Warcross Championship… and, due to a technical glitch, she ends up getting into the action and becoming an overnight sensation. Convinced she'll be arrested, Emika can't believe it when she gets a call from Hideo Tanaka, the game's creator, with an irresistible offer: he needs a spy inside the tournament to unravel a security problem, and he wants her to do it. She's quickly sent to Tokyo, where she's immersed in a world of fame and money. Soon her investigation becomes darker and darker, and she realizes that the person violating the game's security could bring terrible consequences to the Warcross empire.
