Synopsis

One day, thousands of adventure players suddenly find themselves trapped inside the popular game Tale of the Ancients. In a world where monsters and magic exist, people are confused and the adventure town of Akiba has lost its order.

Shiroe, a young man who struggles to get along with others, is one of the adventurers trapped in this world. However, he decides to form a guild called Log Horizon with his allies Naotsugu, Akatsuki, and Nyanta. He also calls for unity among all adventurers and uses his knowledge and wisdom to create the autonomous Round Table Alliance to restore peace and order to the city.

However, a year has passed since the "Apocalypse" that trapped the adventurers in this other world, and the town of Akiba, which had enjoyed a brief period of prosperity, continues to smolder due to an attack from a new type of monster, and the disparities and differences of opinion among the adventurers have led to a power struggle between the nobility of the East and West.

And now the Round Table, a symbol of unity among adventurers, is threatened by crisis.
