Series Synopsis
In the far distant future, the world is like a perfect utopia. Manual labor is a relic of the past. Major diseases have been wiped out. No one is content with the idea of being tied to a single location. For a thousand years, mankind has lived under the veil of a virtual reality system known as Fractale. The system’s main purpose is to ensure the prosperity of humanity.
Living in his tiny home on the coast of a small island is a boy named Clain Necran (voiced by Yu Kobayashi). Clain’s a quiet lad who finds great enjoyment out of the old technology of the 21st century. Up to this point, he has been happy with living a peaceful existence. Then one day he witnesses a most unusual sight.
A girl named Phryne (voiced by Minami Tsuda) is being chased by a rather eccentric trio. Drawn by her beauty, Clain offers his help. Though grateful, Phryne disappears into the night without a word. But before leaving, she leaves Clain a mysterious pendant.
Upon examination, Clain realizes the trinket is storing a massive amount of digital data. Despite being an unfamiliar strand of code, he is able to activate the pendant. To his surprise, a holographic avatar of a ten-year-old girl appears. Unlike any other virtual being, Clain is able to physically touch her.
