Michael Aster used to dominate arenas as a rising esports star, dropping out of high school at sixteen and becoming a millionaire by seventeen. But when real-life monsters invaded, the world shifted its focus, leading to the collapse of sponsorships and leagues. Now eighteen, Michael retired from gaming. At nineteen, he watches hunters on TV in a Seoul bar when something extraordinary happens, a system awakens in his mind. Unlike other hunters, he gains a combat interface resembling a competitive shooter. He must lock in weapons, spend credits for gear, and adhere to strict rules as monsters attack around him. In a chaotic world, Michael's system lacks flashy powers, but he possesses one crucial advantage: perfect aim and timing, honed through years of high-pressure gameplay. Now, he must use these skills to survive and reach the next checkpoint before time runs out.
