In the season opener, Akira finds himself at a crossroads, contemplating shutting down the servers for his beloved Infinity Game back in 2016. Unexpectedly, he gets pulled into the game world, reincarnating as the formidable Demon Lord Hakuto Kunai.

Flashbacks reveal Akira in 2007, staying with his friend XX while pouring his inheritance into Infinity Game, his brainchild. Although presented with a lucrative offer from 42-OMG’s director, Mikkity, he opts to retain control of his creation—leading to a downturn in the game’s popularity as competition flourishes through social media.

As various events unfold, including a devastating explosion at his workplace and a three-headed monster’s emergence, episode 1 sets the stage for returning to Infinity Game. The viewers witness Akira’s battle against Greole, his alliance with Aku, and the acquisition of a crucial ring.

The episode culminates with Kunai experiencing a dream, hinting at the intricate narrative yet to unfold.
