Where Legends Become Reality
In 2024, sacred domains known as VARZ emerged across Tokyo. Gods, urban legends, and ancient spirits became visible — and a secret police division was formed to fight back.
The Setting
In 2024, sacred domains known as VARZ — Virtual Augmented Reality Zones — began appearing across modern Tokyo. The barrier between the living world and the spirit realm dissolved, making gods, urban legends, and spirits of ancient mythology visible for the first time.
To protect the city, the government secretly established Public Safety Section 0: a special police division whose members undergo Soul Injection to become VSyncers — warriors who wield spirit cards to fight what ordinary people cannot see.
The Factions
Three forces shape Tokyo's supernatural landscape.
Public Safety Section 0

Spirits of the Modern Age
The spirits of modern Tokyo are not only ancient — urban legends born from contemporary fears have manifested with terrifying power in the VARZ zones.
