The Twilight Brigade continues its search for the Virus Cores, mysterious items not included in the official game specs. They believe they need to collect them before they can find the coveted Key of the Twilight. Meanwhile, their rival Guild, TaN, pressures them even harder using their secret service led by a dangerous Player Killer Ender.

TaN is no more, Ovan is missing, and the Twilight Brigade is in disarray. As a result of their illegal activities, TaN has been forced to disband, the leaders of the guild prohibited from accessing the game. However, the mysterious disappearance of Ovan has left little time for the Twilight Brigade to rejoice. And as rumor concerning his possible location and motives spread dissent through the ranks, the Brigade finds itself facing its final days together.

The Twilight Brigade had dissolved and Shino has become a "Lost One" as the result of being eliminated by Tri-Edge. Even so, Tabby has settled on lingering around in "The World" after she comes to the aid of two novices trying to learn the ropes of this online game.

Enraged and drunk on the terrible strength gained from the Forest of Pain event, Haseo embarks on a ruthless search for information concerning the whereabouts of Tri-Edge. His brutal inquisition leaves a trail of killed Player Characters in its wake. Saddened by this, Tabby is inspired to create a guild dedicated to healing Haseo and his victims.

Haseo, in his monstrous new form christened "The Terror of Death," defends against simultaneous attacks from scores of vengeful Player Killers. Tabby, in her desire to help her resistant friend through these frantic battles, begins to lose members of her newly formed Paw Pad Squadron. Ovan returns to The World, leading Haseo into his long awaited confrontation with the invincible killer dubbed Tri-Edge.
