When the world turns into a brutal game, one man is dropped into a tutorial no one is meant to survive — a trial that forges him into something far beyond human. Lee Ho-jae refuses to stay down, and the world that overlooked him is about to learn why.
The full story
Chapter 1: The First Step
Chapter 1 opens in a collapsing dungeon at the edge of the tutorial zone, where Lee Ho-jae can no longer ignore the storm gathering on the horizon. What begins as a quiet morning turns tense the moment word arrives that a masked envoy has crossed into forbidden ground.
Lee Ho-jae leans on a tutorial so lethal it hardens him past every other player, and for the first time the true scale of that edge becomes clear. Those who once dismissed Lee Ho-jae as ordinary are forced to reconsider — strength like this does not appear by accident, and everyone can feel that the balance has shifted.
Standing in the way is the system’s impossible trials and the monsters that guard them, whose grip has only tightened. Their clash is less about brute force and more about wills: two sides that understand exactly what the other is willing to sacrifice. By the final page a line has been drawn that cannot be uncrossed.
Beneath the action runs the thread that has driven Lee Ho-jae from the start — to clear a tutorial designed to be unbeatable. This chapter pushes that goal one hard step closer, but the cost is real: an alliance frays, a secret surfaces, and the next chapter is certain to change everything.
