[If the world ended, who would you want to be?]Well... how about not dead? David is a painfully average teenager stuck in a painfully repetitive life. School, friends and family keep finding ways to kick him down and it sure looks like nothing will ever change... Then the whole world changed into a video game. NIRVANAAAH~~!! But instead of enjoying himself at the end o' the world, David needs to make sure his parents, his grandparents and one of his best friends are safe and sound... Oh, and he also needs to kill lots of Monsters, Raid Dungeons and make new enemies? Bummer... Will David do all of that? Or will he get incredibly sidetracked by the wackiness of it all?
