Synopsis

The chapter opens with a character selection screen from a seemingly simple indie game called Dungeon and Stone, which the protagonist played obsessively for almost a decade. Upon finally reaching the final boss room and receiving a tutorial in Korean (contrary to what he was expecting), he loses consciousness. He awakens inside the game world during a barbarian coming-of-age ceremony, finding himself with rough hands and tattoos and tasked with choosing a weapon like the other young warriors. He is now in the midst of a complex and dangerous situation he must learn to navigate.
