Catacombs are labyrinths connected through gates that suddenly appeared in the world. These dungeons threw humanity into chaos but also captivated them. Only those who have awakened special skills—called Conquerors—can face the enemies that emerge from these gates. They aim to become the strongest players to save the world. The protagonist, Souta Sezaki, is the son of two players, but he failed to awaken any abilities. Making matters worse, he can “see spirits,” which causes everyone to treat him as an incompetent weirdo. One day, his childhood friend Takuto invites him into a gate, where they are attacked by the highest difficulty gate boss—the Queen Spider. As death looms, Souta finally awakens. His unique skill allows him to inherit the abilities of the deceased by resolving the regrets of wandering spirits within the Catacombs. The first spirit to appear before him is the wandering soul of his own father—the strongest flame sorcerer who died in battle. Together with his father’s spirit (manifested as a fireball), Souta challenges the Catacombs to become the strongest player!
"Let's team up. You and I. I want to show them how blind they are." Tokio Nishikaze is a new manga artist caught in the doldrums when he meets Asuma Seie, a mangaka known as the "missing genius." Seie had been pushed out of the industry, unable to showcase his talents. The two artists are polar opposites in their attitudes and beliefs, but the two underdogs will devote their souls to manga, even as they clash and push each other! (Source: ComicWalker, translated)
The story centers around a boy named Ken Raiga. Raiga participates in Virtual Zoids Battles, but instead of using a chip or a card with Zoid info, an actual Zoid model is scanned into a computer system for the battler to use. This puts a big emphasis on customizing Zoids, as any custom parts or enhancements to the model will be inputted in the system for battle. Also to encourage readers to customize Zoids, there are a few short comics that give actual tips on how to customize a Zoid,including some tool and material recommendations. Ken Raiga's name is a pun, as when Liger is written in Japanese, it's written phonetically as "RAIGA". Ken Raiga always pilots a Liger type Zoid.
