For most high school students, the biggest daily struggle is passing an exam or navigating social circles. For Jin, life in Seoul is just as routine—until a routine shortcut home leads him into a forgotten, mist-shrouded alleyway. Instead of the city streets he expects, Jin stumbles upon a hidden chamber housing an ancient, pulsating golden symbol. When his curiosity drives him to touch the relic, the world he knows fractures. His vision blurs with blinding golden light, and in a heartbeat, the concrete alley is replaced by the silent, imposing depths of a forest abandoned by human civilization. But he isn't just lost; he’s been chosen. As a mysterious system interface flickers into his field of vision—displaying status windows and cryptic, corrupted code—Jin realizes that the ancient symbol hasn't just transported him; it has rewritten his reality. Now, trapped in a world governed by laws he doesn’t understand and powers he is only beginning to awaken, Jin must learn to navigate his new "class" to survive. He is no longer just a high schooler. He is the Divine Proxy—the bridge between an ancient, digital godhood and a dying world.
