Plot
Shirochi Hikari is a socially isolated obsessed with fighting games and PC modding. Academically average and physically weak, he suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, often forcing him into the school infirmary. Ostracized by peers, he escapes into building and modifying computers—until a static shock violently ejects his consciousness into his PC, granting him the ability to travel through electrical currents. Now, he must choose to use his power for good, or take revenge on his tormentors.Publication
