The MC is the most skilled player in the game world, having played multiple games over the years. One day, his friends invite him to try a new game with them. Curious, he opens the app-and instantly finds himself inside the game.
Realizing he's truly in the game world, fear hits him hard. He knows the rules: if he dies even once here, there's no escaping alive.
He checks what power he has... and finds out he has none-except the ability to boost another person's superpower to the next level. But to do that, he must form a deep connection with the person first.
He begins to travel, eventually finding the two friends who invited him: one boy and one girl. Both are terrified, knowing the consequences of dying here. But the MC calms them, saying he'll help them discover their superpowers and boost them so they can fight anything without fear.
Together, they begin their journey, battling enemies, uncovering mysteries, and searching for an escape. With MC's help, his friends become incredibly strong and defeat every obstacle. But after some time, the two friends realize MC can't boost their powers anymore-their abilities have reached their maximum level.
That's when a dark idea forms between them: when the next enemy arrives, they plan to kill him, believing he's now useless.
But before they act, a new group of players finds them and asks about the world. The MC explains everything-the game, the enemies, the goal-and then shares a shocking truth: if even one person dies, no one can return to the real world.
His two friends freeze in shock. They feel betrayed-why didn't MC tell them sooner? But at the same time, they remember... they were planning to kill him.
When the new players ask if they can join the group, MC praises his friends, saying they are the strongest and have defeated everything so far. The new players cheer and celebrate the two, saying they're honored to join forces with such powerful people.
Ashamed, the two friends look at each other with guilt. That night, when the new group is asleep, they approach MC, who's preparing to sleep. They ask, "Can we talk?"
MC nods. "Sure, what's up?"
Both fall to their knees. "We're sorry," they say. "We were going to kill you when the next enemy showed up... until you told us that if someone dies, no one escapes."
MC looks at them with a calm smile. "After I boosted your powers, I figured I was useless anyway. So it didn't matter if I died."
They break down and hug him tightly, crying. "We were scared. We thought if you died here, you wouldn't die in real life. But now we know. We don't want to lose you."
MC hugs them back. "Then let's find the way home-together."
Both nod. "We won't ever think like that again."
MC chuckles. "Haha, now stop whining and go to sleep. We've got a journey ahead."
The next day, the team moves forward. After countless battles, they finally defeat the last enemy. Suddenly, they return to the real world.
The game developer appears in front of them and thanks them for winning the game.
The entire team points at MC. "He helped us escape and beat all the enemies."
The developer turns to him. "How did you do it?"
MC looks at his two friends and the new team. "We did it through teamwork. We fought together as one."
The developer smiles. "You've done something I always wanted people to do in this game-complete it as a team, not alone like I did."
He walks back into the game, and the system shuts down forever.
MC looks at the game's final message:
> "Teamwork is the true victory. Playing alone is never the answer. Asking for help or appreciating others' strengths doesn't make you weak-it makes you a great player."
Inside the game, the developer reflects, watching the enemies now standing still. He smiles and says to himself:
> "Finally... someone who understands. It's not just about defeating every enemy. It's about
seeing what each person brings to the team."
