    Five years after the System's arrival, Oakhaven is a town defined by the ruthless pursuit of levels and experience. Kai, a Level 5 Trainee, appears to be one of the many struggling to survive in this new reality. However, his displayed weakness is a carefully crafted illusion. Beneath the surface lies a True Synchronization Level far surpassing those around him, along with a host of hidden skills and abilities.

He prepares for a coming storm hinted at by System anomalies and powerful entities, knowing that his hidden strength is the only thing that can save him and possibly others.
