Plot
A virtual reality massively multiplayer online racing game called Nitro Import Race is released. With the NitroGear, a VR glasses that stimulates the user's five senses via their eyes and their brain, players can experience and control their in-game characters with their minds. Both the game and the NitroGear were created by Ayrton Senna's fictional grandson.

This summer holidays, 1,000,000 players from around the world log into NIR 's mainframe cyberspace for the first time to achieve their dream to become the next racers. Senna appears and tells the players that they must win the race of all events, which is the setting of NIR if they wish to be the champion.

Dengeki Bunko All Stars are already buying the NitroGear, and wear theirs in their bedtime. Unlike their old game, Sword Art Online, they go to the virtual race in NIR to become the next champions.
