Synopsis

One day, thousands of adventuring players are suddenly trapped inside the popular game Elder Tale! In a world where monsters and magic exist, people are confused and the adventurers’ town of Akiba has lost its order.

Shiroe, a young man who has a hard time getting along with others, is one such adventurer trapped in this world. However, he decides to form a guild called Log Horizon together with allies Naotsugu, Akatsuki, and Nyanta. He also calls for the unity of all adventurers and uses his knowledge and wisdom to create the autonomous Round Table Alliance to restore peace and order to the city.

However, a year has passed since the “Apocalypse” that trapped the adventurers in this other world, and the city of Akiba, which had been enjoying a brief period of prosperity, continues to smolder from an attack by a new kind of monster, and disparity and differences of opinion among the adventurers has led to a power struggle between the nobility of the East and West.

And now, the Round Table, a symbol of unity among the adventurers, is threatened by a crisis.
