Hansu Lee is a twenty-nine-year-old game addict who has devoted almost a decade of his life to beating the notoriously difficult game Dungeon & Stone. When he finally reaches the boss monster, a status window appears with the message "Tutorial Complete," followed by a blinding light. Suddenly, Hansu is transformed into a barbarian named Bjorn Yandel inside the world of the game-but it's no longer just a game, it's actually real! With nothing but the weapon in his hand and his prior knowledge of the game, Bjorn must fight for his life in a world full of deadly monsters-and conceal his true identity to avoid execution-in a real-life battle for the survival of the fittest. WARNING: This story contains depictions of violence, gore, and/or graphic depictions of death, profanity, and strong language that may be upsetting for some readers.
