Blood Seeker

Minseok, the heir of the Hyeonmu Mind Technique, is deeply immersed in the virtual reality game Flexible. This game is truly peculiar. It allows players to experience injury and pain exactly as they would in reality—so much so that even death feels real. On top of that, the Blood Seeker skill is so dangerously alluring that it borders on driving Minseok mad. Blood Seeker is a perilous ability that unleashes overwhelming power by drawing upon the user’s own life force. However, the Hyeonmu Mind Technique performed within the virtual world is also directly reflected in Minseok’s real body, causing his mastery of the technique to improve at an extraordinary rate. In other words, a synchronization between reality and the virtual world is taking place. How could something like this be possible? As Minseok’s doubts grow deeper, one day a new announcement appears in Flexible: — “In reality… dimensional gates will open.” Dimensional gates? And in the real world? Most players refuse to believe it. However, Minseok—who has personally experienced the changes in the Hyeonmu Mind Technique through Flexible—chooses to trust it. Eventually, that day arrives, and dimensional gates indeed manifest in the real world. The world is plunged into overwhelming fear and chaos. These gates are portals connecting Earth to another world. Worse still, their number continues to increase. Monsters soon begin to threaten the very existence of humanity. What must be done? There is only one answer: to fight the monsters in order to save the world and humankind. And to grow stronger—stronger than anyone else. Can Minseok save humanity from the monsters? And what on earth is Flexible truly plotting behind the scenes?
