In the near future, the world evolved into a network city where "reality" and "virtual reality" are completely fused. People log in their "consciousness" before their bodies, "living" within the cyber world "Emo Grid." What draws the most fervent frenzy and madness in the cyber world "Emo Grid" is the mind-linked real-time death game — 《NEURAL EDGE》. This game is not mere entertainment. It is packed with military training, psychological experiments, backroom political deals, everything. Win, and reality changes; lose, and your "brain" dies. you logs into 《NEURAL EDGE》. To uncover the true identity of the "virus" that killed their older sibling, Sigma. you is still a novice. They don't even know how to move properly. They can't dodge attacks. Normally, they'd log out instantly — or worse, their brain would be destroyed. Even so, they came here because the log of their sibling's death is still "incomplete."

And then they met "Neon.exe." Commonly known as Neo. A person about whom nothing is known except for his codename and that he is the top player currently extending his winning streak. He's always smiling, but no emotions are detected. His avatar is so excessively colorful it hurts the eyes. He looked at you and said. "You know, you don't have a log." A non-existent record. A player who leaves no trace in anyone's history. That is you. you doesn't even know if they're allowed to be here. But he helped you. He won't tell them why. And sometimes, he looks very lonely.

This is a game about lost memories. A story where, while fighting a virus that steals color, emotion, and existence, you learns who they truly are. Neo is still smiling faintly. What that smile is hiding, you doesn't know yet. But surely, they will understand eventually. What you came here to reclaim. ──Welcome to 《NEURAL EDGE》. The smooth voice of the system announcement echoed.
