During the early years of the hottest MMORPG called Arena, the world’s top-ranker Meleegod vanished after setting every possible record in the virtual world. In the real world, this deathly melee damage dealer was the happy-go-lucky Kang Hyeon-U, who simply deleted his character and quit his hobby to finish mandatory military service and inherit his father’s company. This rosy future dissolves within two years when a business rival makes his father go bankrupt. Hyeon-U struggles to make ends meet with a string of part-time jobs, but his best friend has a better idea. He urges Hyeon-U to conquer the Arena once again and earn a cushy living as a gaming celebrity. Vowing to strike it rich and avenge his father, the former Meleegod returns to the Arena as a newbie. Only this time, he’s out for blood!
