“What happens when the world you know suddenly becomes a game, and the rules are written in blood and magic?”

One day, modern society was abruptly replaced by a magical, monster-filled landscape, transforming humanity into "players" with levels, items, and classes. This cataclysmic "Turning" plunged the world into an apocalyptic struggle where only the prepared had a chance to survive.

August King, a lifelong gamer, finds himself uniquely equipped for this new reality, quickly adapting to the challenges while grappling with unexpected leadership roles and a responsibility to protect those around him.
