Since the introduction of smartphones in society, phone apps have become a part of our modern lives. They each have different uses like taking a picture, streaming a video, or taking care of finances. These examples are ordinary uses, but what about a more fantastic application. A [[Metaphysical App]] is a smartphone app that has a supernatural function that can affect a person or the world. They're usually found in [[Urban Fantasy]], where they can be a major part of the plot or just another aspect of the setting.
Whether those apps are [[Magic From Technology]] or the newest version of [[Magitek]] may vary according to the setting. Be careful that a [[Technopath]] doesn't put their hand on a phone that contains one of these.

In the game, she can equip different weapons and outfits that can augment her abilities. These weapons and outfits are gained through a gacha, which usually needs to be paid with real-world money. When the main character uses the app, it summons the female warrior into the real world while deploying a 'Quest Area' where a monster will appear that she must defeat. Others who use the app get possessed by a monster that only Yurina can kill. There is an exception where if a person is a friend of the protagonist on the app, they can equip outfits and weapons, much like Yurina.
* ''[[Dragon Collection - Ryuu o Suberumono]]'' has the game, ''Dragon Collection'', presented as a game where you collect treasure and Monster Cards to summon monsters for battle. Another version of the app has been released to 100 people that can connect the world of Dragon Collection to the real one. The app can be used to summon real monsters and treasures from this other world.
