A malevolent force known only as Lina is devouring data from a vast, interdimensional network of servers overseen by sentient computers called motes. In desperation, the motes summon heroes from a variety of parallel game worlds to face off against each other in one-on-one combat. The tournament victor has the potential to be awakened as the Blade Stranger - the savior who can vanquish Lina and protect the motes from further harm.
