Setting
The prologue of the first volume is in real life where Shioko goes to meet Tiff in her restaurant. Tiff shares a rumor with Shioko which starts Shioko's wheels turning. She dives head-on into ALO and goes on a quest of misadventures to save Chelsea, whose inability to log out is part of a dark plot.

The second volume covers Shioko's commissioned investigation of a series of murders in Gun Gale Online. After a game of cat-and-mouse, Shioko discovered her culprit and cracks down hard.

The third volume is a side story of a young girl who has spent all of her teenage life up until that point in a status of FullDive. Both Shioko and Kirei struggle to find a way to save the girl from terminal illness. This side story foreshadows happenings in the next arc.
