Zen, once hailed as the world’s most respected VR and mobile gamer, was invited by a mysterious new gaming corporation to try their debut title and leave a glowing review.

But after suffering a humiliating defeat in-game, Zen did the exact opposite — he tore it apart in a brutal review that went viral.

In retaliation, the game’s mysterious system drags him into the virtual world of ArcadiaX, trapping him inside the body of the weakest NPC imaginable.

With no cheats, no power-ups, and no real understanding of the game’s mechanics beyond his one loss, Zen must claw his way through portal breaks, deadly beasts, brutal dungeons, and warring clans — all while being marked as a bug and hunted by the system itself.

To escape, Zen must rise from an F-rank Reaver to SSS-Rank legend, survive dungeons, beast outbreaks, clan wars, and a world that wants him dead — and defeat the Game Lord controlling everything.

Can he beat the game...
Or will he die as just another disposable NPC?
Delve into the story to find out more.

"Huh? Where are we?" Zen asked, looking around in confusion.


"I… I'm lost." Jace replied, equally baffled as he scanned the strange new location.


"Thought you said the gate would take us somewhere that felt like another world. So what are we doing here?" Aria asked, her eyes narrowing as she looked around.


Before them stretched a massive underground cavern, illuminated by an eerie blue glow pulsing from crystals embedded in the jagged ceiling. The air was thick and damp, smelling of wet stone and a faint metallic tang — blood.


The walls weren't smooth but alive, crawling with vein-like roots that pulsed faintly with energy as if feeding on the air itself. Shadows seemed to shift and slither across the stone even when no one moved.
