Aiba is a young Japanese student. After receiving a message from a hacker, Aiba joins the physical-interaction cyberspace network EDEN, where they[c] meet Nia Shiramine and Arata Sanada. The hacker gives them "Digimon Capture" programs used to command Digimon scripts. Aiba is attacked by a mysterious creature and becomes a digital entity.

Aiba is rescued and recruited by detective Kyoko Kuremi. Aiba investigates a hospital ward overseen by Kamishiro Enterprises, which owns and manages EDEN, and finds it filled with patients of "EDEN Syndrome," where users of EDEN fall into comas. Aiba meets Yuuko Kamishiro, the daughter of Kamishiro's former president, and learns that her older brother is a victim of EDEN Syndrome from a failed beta test eight years ago covered up by Kamishiro.

Meanwhile, Aiba assists Arata in investigating "Digital Shifts" around Tokyo. They meet Akemi Suedou, who identifies the creature behind the Digital Shifts as an Eater: a digital entity that consumes users' mental data, causing EDEN Syndrome and Aiba's condition.

Aiba and their allies learn that the Eaters, which were created from negative human emotions, had attacked the Digital World; the Digital World's ruler, King Drasil, ordered the Royal Knights to stop the attacks, but some Knights advocated destroying humanity to wipe out the Eaters at their source. Rie, the current president of Kamishiro, reveals herself as the Royal Knight Crusadermon. Arata encounters Suedou, who reveals that he developed and distributed the Digimon Capture program.
