Human body modification prevails in 2050, and the global economic depression gives birth to a virtual reality game-the Mind Game. Since the game scene is too real and a player can win real money in the game, lots of people all over the world indulge in it in order to escape from the reality. The economy continues to fall, and the world collapses in the virtual economic bubbles. However, with a high degree of risk in this game, lots of players have been struck down in the over-real game scene. The physiological stimulation causes brain death or severe paralysis in many players in reality; hence, the boycott of Mind Game rises in different places. While the game servers are scattered, the cleaning operation (RWIB) does not have great effect.
Therefore, a civil organization-the GOBI team-is born. They are responsible for clearing up servers, cruel, but there is no other way. Of course, they also save some players who are forced into retention in the game. Most of the time they play the unlovable roles in the intricate relationship between the game organization and the labor union.
Black-8, whose real name is Frank Chambers, is the temporary captain of the GOBI team and a retired professional boxer. He has is complex feeling for the Mind Game because his brother has been lost in it for more than 2 years. Everyday his mother cries over the body of his brother, but there is no way to take him back from the virtual world. Chambers wants to find his long-gone brother in the Mind Game and bring him back to their mother at the same time he forces the game to stop.
Led by Chambers, the team comes to the YD wilderness, where players live underground in order to survive under the hot sun created by the senior players. It is simple while very difficult to search in the endless desert, but Frank Chambers has always been optimistic. He often mutters:” give me a pair of diesel engine-driven power fist, and I can break more cheekbones.”
