A [MMORPG] popular with children that is actually a front for KIDS, a project to harness the collective psychic potential of children based on the research findings of Professor Hodgeson.
The gameplay mostly involves killing monsters and other players. During Layer 04, a man finds PHANTOMa and reality merging, resulting in him shooting a young girl with an in-game weapon. When Lain of the Wired asks Taro what is fun about the game, he responds with "Nobody knows what's fun and why."
