Room 404
In my dream, I saw room 404 of the Greenwood Hotel engulfed in flames, and lying collapsed in the middle of it, Haku. My unease sends me to the hotel I'd seen in my dream, but when I arrive, I'm told they have no room 404. Unable to erase the fear from my heart, I head up to the fourth floor to investigate and I find something that shouldn't exist - room 404.

Season 1:
Miracle Entertainment. The TV production company my late father left me. After taking over for him, as one of our producers I have struggled every day to regain the popularity of our show, "Miracle Finder." As I investigate the rumors spreading through Loveland city of mysterious "warping incidents" as material for our show, I learn of the existence of people known as "Evolvers" who possess strange powers...
LFG has declared they are withdrawing all investment in Miracle Entertainment. Unable to accept it, I went to talk to the CEO, Victor, in person and was presented with two conditions to the reinstatement of our funding. In order to meet Victor's conditions, I continue gathering information on the mysterious warping incidents. Between Lucien, who has become a consultant on the show, and a police officer who witnessed my involvement in the incident with the boy while I was out investigating, I manage to assemble some information, but...
A boost provided by super-popular idol Kiro posting about us on social media helps me to clear Victor's first condition, using the "mysterious warping incidents" as material for our show. Riding that momentum, I take my business plan to Victor, but he shoots it down, saying it lacks concrete specifics. While looking for an idea suitable for development among the ones we already have in-house, my gaze lands on a proposal concerning a restaurant with extremely mixed reviews - a restaurant called "Souvenir."
With financing from LFG reinstated, Miracle Entertainment is riding the momentum from Kiro's appearance on the show. Meanwhile, Evolvers appear one after another around me. Plus, there's the riddle of the mysterious organization "Black Swan." As my daily life slowly begins to change, I start investigating the topic of our next show, Key, a "hacker for justice" who's name was in my father's notebook.
Memories I can't recall... My father's death... and connected to everything, Black Swan. As I chase after the ever deepening mystery, I learn of a disappearance connected to my old high school. At the same time, after deciding to make the theme of our next show "letters" to tie in to a current hit movie, I head out to look into a ramen shop near my old high school. Along with research for the show, I feel I need to investigate the disappearance and head toward the high school, but...
I thought Lucien was taking me to do some research for "Miracle Finder," but the road we travel stretches on and on through peaceful countryside. Refusing to tell me what we're researching, Lucien proposes a picnic for a change of pace. Meanwhile, after hearing from Shaw, someone allied with Black Swan, that there are rumors of a darker side to the Task Force, Gavin starts investigating things on his own.
A request has come in from HBS, a big American broadcasting company, to work on a show together. Knowing we have to make the most of this chance, I manage to convince the first guest, LFG's CEO, Zen, to participate and we move toward filming. On the day of the shoot, I'm taken on a tour of the set to go over the content of the show. Somehow, I end up locked up alone in one of the set's jail rooms! In that moment, my memories begin to awaken...
In my dream, I saw room 404 of the Greenwood Hotel engulfed in flames, and lying collapsed in the middle of it, Haku. My unease sends me to the hotel I'd seen in my dream, but when I arrive, I'm told they have no room 404. Unable to erase the fear from my heart, I head up to the fourth floor to investigate and I find something that shouldn't exist - room 404.
With his evol gone out of control, Gavin takes himself away from me. Around the same time, as a result of his fans going berserk, Kira announces his retirement, and no one can get in touch with Victor, who has gone missing. Our company receives tips on incidents which might be caused by evols which have gone out of control. In search of a clue as to some way of stopping the evols from running wild, I head to the university where Lucien works.
I've learned a truth I don't want to believe, but I can't allow myself to stop now. I keep running. To block the electromagnetic waves causing evols to go out of control, I head to Loveland TV Tower. When I arrive, enforcement teams from Black Swan are already there. Left with no help, and no path left to take... behind me appears someone who was supposed to be missing.
Somehow, we managed to stop the triggering electromagnetic waves Black Swan had set up, but, after protecting me and remaining at Loveland TV Tower, Kiro has gone missing. Amidst all this, the general public has begun to feel uneasy about "sleeping syndrome" - incidents where people are falling asleep and not waking up. Could it be another of Black Swan's schemes...? To find the truth, I head to the Cognitive Psychology Association where they are investigating the sleeping syndrome.
"It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." Black Swan is using sleeping gas and electromagnetic waves to force people to become Evolvers. The success rate is 0.01%. To protect everyone's future, I head to the luxury liner where I'll find Hades. Will it be a future of destruction that I choose, or will it be...
