As a last resort, his doctor recommends a unique treatment—Athenae, a VR game where one can eat as much as they want without consequence. Crispy fried chicken! Scrumptious samgyetang! Inside Athenae, all food tastes real, but earning it is no cakewalk. In order to live, Min-Hyuk must go on the ultimate fantasy gourmet adventure!
