Ichigo-Strawberry: Otaku Ichise - Viewing Profile

In the year 2007, a computer virus called 'Socrates' completely shuts down and restricts the global internet network of the world. In 2009, after extensive rescinding of the network, they create and release an online Network Game (MMORPG) called 'The World'.

The story focuses mainly around Otase who obtains the power that damages the player in the real world. He suddenly awakens to find himself in 'The World', being able to feel, smell, touch, see and hear everything as if he was really there. He attempts to logout but fails to do so. Being unable to remember what has happened before he awoke, he wanders around aimlessly to find answers. While doing so, system moderators, the Hongfire Knights, suspect that he has been working with hackers, because of the tweaked character he was with. Otase finds a magical item, that grants him the power to use this fearful 'Mecha' that will protect him from harm.
