The deadly game is back! Once again, sixteen Magical Girls have been assembled for a high-stakes challenge. Every three days, their Magical Phone pulls them into an RPG-like simulation where they have to work together to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and earn Magical Candy to advance. A staggering ten billion yen reward awaits them at the end—but only for the players who land the finishing blow. With such a tantalizing prize on the line, it's only a matter of time before the girls turn on each other—and if their hit points drop to zero, a game over will be the least of their worries...

On his way back from a job, he finds a strange calling card with the word "Psyren" imprinted left behind in a phone booth and decides to keep it, unaware of its purpose. The very next day, Ageha discovers that his classmate Sakurako Amamiya has the exact same calling card in her possession.

Thus begins two teenagers' participation in a game of life or death within a strange world inhabited by monsters called Taboo. Granted the ability to use psychic powers known as PSI, the duo fight to return to the place they call home.

Taoist Cui accidentally released the treasure-gathering golden toad in order to read the heavenly book. The golden toad coveted the prosperity of the human world and reincarnated as a human, Dou Zhanlong. In order to avoid the heavenly calamity, the golden toad tore the three souls and seven spirits in Dou Zhanlong's spiritual cavity, creating nine clones, which fell into nine places respectively. The nine Dou Zhanlongs were in different parallel time and space, and each death gave rise to a new clone. They experienced "nine deaths and thirteen disasters" in total. Our story starts with the first Dou Zhanlong. (Source: iQIYI, translated)
