In a world of gates, monsters, and hunters galore, Soo-Ho Sung is…well, he’s just an ordinary college student. Sure, his parents went missing right before the gates started appearing three years ago, and he occasionally had a weird dream where he could beat up monsters and level up like a video game, but other than that?

So when a sudden monster outbreak occurs on his campus, he must fight back every instinct screaming at him to run away as he takes a page out of his dad’s book and rushes to save his classmate. The chances of making it alive are looking bleak, until—PING! [Congratulations on becoming a Player.]
