Kim Hen-Woo lived in luxury and plenty, spending all his free time playing online games. But one day his parents were in an accident, in which his father died. His familiar life collapsed: the family had to sell the house and move into a one-room apartment. Years later, he still works hard, spending all his money on paying his mother’s medical bills, and combining work with study. But then one of Hen-Woo’s teachers offers him a vacancy at “Global Exos Korea,” a company developing VRMMORPG—the virtual online game “New World.” Hen-Woo accepts the offer and, by falsifying his information on the application, somehow manages to pass the strict selection. Thus, he becomes a tester of the newest gaming device and receives a decent salary for it. After creating an account in “New World,” Hen-Woo chooses the nickname Ark (the Ark) and begins his path to success. (c)
