Kim Hyun-woo lived in luxury and comfort, spending all his free time on online games. But one day his parents were in an accident in which his father died. His usual life collapsed—his family had to sell their house and move into a one-room apartment. A few years later, he continues to work hard, spending all his money on paying his mother’s medical bills, balancing work with studying. But then one day one of Hyun-woo’s instructors offers him a vacancy at “Global Exos Korea,” a company developing VRMMORPG—the virtual online game “New World.” Hyun-woo accepts the offer and, by falsifying his information on the application, somehow manages to pass a strict selection. Thus, he becomes a participant in testing the newest game device, receiving a decent salary for it. After creating an account in “New World,” Hyun-woo chooses the nickname Ark (Noah’s Ark) and begins his path to success. (c)
