About The Player Hides His Past

When the virtual reality game History of the Archana Continent merges with the real world, ordinary salaryman Lee Hoyeol awakens inside the body of the demon hunter character he created back in middle school. As elements of the virtual world spill into reality, humans who synchronize with their in-game avatars emerge across the globe as players tasked with defending humanity. Caught up in this global shift, Hoyeol leaves his everyday office existence behind when his own synchronization takes hold and binds him to a forgotten creation from his youth. The avatar he comes to inhabit is named Grandfell Claudi Arpeus Romeo, a persona shaped entirely by the tastes and imagination of his middle-school self. In the broader landscape of synchronized players, taking on this particular role and occupation would under normal circumstances amount to a complete career failure. Yet Grandfell carries the specialized class of a demon hunter, a distinct calling defined by an unyielding sense of pride that rises to its peak whenever he stands before demons. Standing now as the sole demon hunter in this newly merged reality, Lee Hoyeol begins to make his move through the body and proud bearing of Grandfell.
