If people who turn into animals really existed in the modern world, how would they behave? This book gives some realistic, yet unexpected, answers. Nobody is a complete good guy or bad guy--every character is a complex figure, and even the bad guys have some very good reasons for what they do. Leo is an innocent caught in the midst of it all, but nothing like the "helpless killer" stereotype of American werewolf movies--he is a person in control of his own powers, trying to decide what to do with his life now that so much has changed.
The story is about how and why a guy goes from a worker at a dead-end job to becoming a boxer.
A story set in the near future, about a middle-aged loser whose only refuge is a virtual bishoujo game. Takurou, the main character, is a stereotyped, low self-esteem, adult male in a dead-end job. Because he feels he has nothing to live for, he let himself go, becoming fat, miserable, and lonely. The only shining thing he lives for is the occasional visit to a brothel where his savings will allow him to at least not be completely sexless. This is when, through a real-life friend of his, he is introduced to the virtual reality world of "The Unreal." Where, after spending $6000+ on equipment, you can purchase a virtual girlfriend who only thinks of you. Only the girl, Tsukiko, that Takurou purchases, seems to have come with a few defects.
The stage is set on an ocean oilfield base, Seraphix. A hell that tries to imitate the Holy Grail War of the Moon. A pleasure prison that you can never escape from unless you're the last one standing. There's not much time until it reaches the limit and collapses. What lurks within the depths of the "Ego" that desires to dance --- This is the adaptation of the Epic of Remnant Chapter 1.5 from the mobile game, Fate/Grand Order.
