Some secrets are too real to hide. Some connections are worth fighting for.

To the world, KazRage is a gaming legend—silent, deadly, and untouchable.

To Aiko_Aura, he’s more than a teammate; he’s the anchor of every raid, the quiet protector she trusts most.

But offline, Kazuki Tanaka is just a shy student with a hoodie and a hopeless crush on the bubbly barista at Pixel & Grind… who happens to be Aiko herself.

When the lines between real life and the virtual world begin to blur, Kazuki faces a choice he’s never prepared for: stay hidden behind the screen, or risk everything for the connection he’s always wanted.
