BACKGROUND
Future, year unknown. Technology has reached unexpected levels around the world, starting from technologically advanced countries and spreading slowly on a large scale. Thanks to the most advanced mechanical and cyber programs, the most serious world pressing problems have been resolved in a short period of time.
The dependence on technology, however, has led people to deprive themselves of their deepest emotions, sacrificing humanity to order and discipline. In daily life, the expression of human feelings is undesirable to the point that has exploded the trend to permanently wear an augmented reality helmet. White, symbol of purity simplicity and elegance, is now dressed by people around the world who refuse also colors and feelings they could evoke in them.
The last bastion of the human instinct, where passions can run free and explode, is the tournament of Leap of Champions.
