Hiroshi Shimazaki, a 35-year-old part-timer living aimlessly in Tokyo after chasing his dreams, suddenly finds his life transformed when he receives the "Gemios Gear," a futuristic device that lets him create and control a real-world avatar. Choosing a handsome man as his avatar, Shimazaki enjoys his altered reality until a global crisis pulls him into an unexpected battle. To confront the danger, he undergoes a two-stage transformation—from his attractive avatar to a full-fledged hero—taking on the challenge of saving the world.

Dragon Cry is a magical artifact of deadly power, formed into a staff by the fury and despair of dragons long gone. Now, this power has been stolen from the hands of the Fiore kingdom by the nefarious traitor Zash Caine, who flees with it to the small island nation of Stella. Frightened that the power has fallen into the wrong hands, the King of Fiore hastily sends Fairy Tail to retrieve the staff. But this task proves frightening as a shadowy secret lies in the heart of the kingdom of Stella. Dragon Cry follows their story as they muster up all their strength to recover the stolen staff and save both kingdoms.
