From birth, citizens in Japan are implanted with the Dominion chip—a miniaturized computer that uses augmented-reality to assist in daily life. Eighteen-year old Daichi Ayanami, a conspiracy theorist, distrusts the tech but has learned to live alongside it thanks to his wholesome friends.

One destined night, deep sleep overtakes him and he reawakens within the presence of a goddess called Dominion. Daichi's informed he'll partake in "Paradise"—an experiment designed to simulate an MMORPG. Behind Dominion's beauty, however, lies an aura of deceit. What does she gain from entrapping thousands of people? And when Daichi finally reawakens, what will he be reawakening to?

With the help of a stern but cute cleric, Sanae Tsubasa, acting as his teacher, Daichi just might be able to survive this fantastical new world.
