Synopsis:
It’s summertime, and that means convention season. And no convention is more beloved by its attendees than the Midwest Fan Fair in the city of Fusco, Indiana – a utopian fan event that’s managed to keep Hollywood largely at bay and is focused on getting fans together to celebrate what they love. It’s nineteen year old Kendra Price‘s first time attending the massive convention, but she couldn’t miss this event for all the world – because this year’s Fan Fair is sponsoring a special contest – a chance to win the very first look at the final installment in her favorite console RPG series.
The Legendary Ballad series is not the most popular or longest-lived game franchise of its genre, but it arguably has the most die-hard fanbase. The brainchild of two men – one an American, one Japanese – its notable trait is a complex, generations-spanning tale that unites every single installment, spin-off, and piece of related merchandise. And this year, the story is coming to a close – though whether that’s because of the audience moving away from RPGs, or because of the story’s natural conclusion isn’t entirely clear.
Kendra and her friends in “The White Table” – an online discussion forum for discussing all things Ballad-related – are to compete in the ultimate cosplay competition with people from all over the world, with only a single winner chosen to view the final version of a game that even the press and reviewers have yet to see.
As our story opens, it is the convention’s “preview night,” and Kendra is waking up after a night of partying with her friends, many of whom she has only just met in person for the first time.
Pre-registration for the following day’s contest will begin soon, and aside from some lingering thoughts of her life back home – a rudderless life that she is not anxious to return to – her only concern is that she is running late, and needs desperately to get ready for the show.
In a few hours, everything will go wrong.
Soon, she and two boys that she barely knows will be battling for their lives in the world that they know from their favorite games, and their friends back home will be racing to uncover a generations-old conspiracy, and the truth behind the relationship between the two worlds – with only days left on an apocalyptic countdown that could mark the end of both the world they know, and the world that they’d been envisioning all of their lives.
