Infinite Dendrogram

The search for the Treasurebeast Orbs scattered across Caldina leads Hugo and AR-I-CA to the great city of Cortana. This cosmopolitan center of commerce is no doubt a jewel of the desert, but few things in this city have as much value as the Orb said to have arrived here-one said to bestow the coveted power of immortality. With such rumors spreading far and wide, it would be foolish to think that Hugo and AR-I-CA would be the only ones in pursuit of this boon. A knight of ice, a soaring songstress, a bloodstained child, and a Master of death converge upon the poisoned oasis, heralding the coming of a brand new possibility.

Answering a request from Moneygold, King of Revelry, Hugo and Cyco sign on as bodyguards for a trip aboard the luxury sand liner Eltram. The two of them know all too well that any task coming from a Superior can't possibly be as simple as it seems, and their suspicions are soon justified when the sand-ship becomes a battleground for multiple rival factions. Just what plans do these organizations have for the sand liner-or is it the cargo they're all after instead? Numerous Superior Jobs converge upon this jewel of the desert-The Weapon, Murder Princess, King of Burglary, and Over Pilot among them-each with their own schemes in motion. Hugo has no choice but to face the ensuing carnage...but can he emerge victorious in this capriccio on the sands?

The Tournaments in Gideon are approaching their climax, and as the final day arrives, everyone anticipates Figaro will claim the ultimate prize... But the duel champion's certain victory is suddenly called into question by the unexpected appearance of a Superior who shouldn't even be in Altar! Meanwhile, Juliet wanders the city and stumbles upon a streamer by the name of "G." The two become fast friends, but it seems that this Legendarian content creator came to Gideon with a purpose Juliet may not be too happy about...

The [King of Plagues] is a disaster in human form that once roamed the world of Infinite Dendrogram, leaving only carnage in his wake. He destroyed an entire country and murdered [The Hero], the pinnacle of tian-kind...but not even that was enough to sate this walking catastrophe's hunger. He immediately moved on to the next tragedy, not knowing he'd left behind a single survivor-a young boy who would come to unleash a hell of his own in the name of vengeance. With Altar's Tournaments as the backdrop, the origins of the Superior Killer are finally revealed!
