.Hack focuses on the mysterious events surrounding a wildly popular in-universe massively multiplayer role-playing game called The World. .hack//G.U. begins after the events of the original .hack series with players assuming the role of Haseo as he tracks down a powerful Player Killer named Tri-Edge who killed his friend's in-game avatar Shino, which put her into a coma in real life.
About the game
In this virtual world, there will be friends and fun adventures waiting for you... However, there are also rampant PK (Player Kill, an abbreviation for Player Killer referring to players who intentionally kill each other), repeated conflicts between guilds, and mysterious events that even the game developers can't remember incorporating...
"The world" had begun to turn into a lawless zone that even the system administrators could not control.
In such a chaotic game, there emerged a young man, "Haseo", who was feared as the "Terror of Death".
The goal of Haseo, who indiscriminately hunts PKs, is to find and take revenge on an unidentified PK called the "Tri-Edge" who PKed his cherished friend, "Shino", with a mysterious power outside the specifications and drove her unconscious in the real world.
Who is "Tri-Edge"? Why do in-game deaths affect the real world?
Witness the relationship between Haseo and "The World" as they unravel the mystery which begins to go beyond the realm of "fun" games.
