Julien is a young high schooler and a self-proclaimed loser. Everyone's punching bag. His classmates bully him daily and he had been wishing to disappear because he couldn't take it anymore.
"If this was a video game, I would punch all of them with a single punch." He thought about fighting back but never had the guts.
But in video games, he was untouchable. Number one worldwide on his favourite game, ABYSS ARENA. He had few challengers and none of them lasted long. It still wasn't enough to satisfy him though.
One afternoon after getting bullied, he logged on, took out a challenger in under a minute, then he was still bored that he switched to story mode. He had been using his favourite character, Sorin, a powerful fighter, strong enough to challenge Lennon, a boss who had proven to be an opponent Julien simply couldn't beat.
He gave up and let the game run on its own.
Lennon made his final move and sent Sorin flying into the sky. The crowd erupted screaming Lennon's name. Julien closed his eyes in jealous.
‘If only I was famous like Lennon.’
Suddenly
He saw himself falling.
He was inside Sorin's body, actually, he was Sorin. Falling from the sky, he drove one punch straight into the celebrating Lennon and knocked him out. Sorin stood victorious.
Julien (Sorin) cheered. "Yeah!" But the voice that came out wasn't his. It was hard and deep.
Instead of erupting with cheers, the crowd remained quiet.
Then the system screamed.
"ALERT. ALERT. ALERT. Arch Demon detected within the Arena premises. This is a Code Red. All defense forces, converge on the Arena immediately."
He had been given a second life inside a fighter's body — but that second life came with a problem. He was a demon. The entire Varenhold State was now hunting him.
He was saved by Clara, an elf girl who helped him escape and showed him the ropes of this new world.
What Sorin didn't know was that Clara was on a mission. A prophecy had foretold the coming of a powerful demon — and the person who sent Clara wanted Sorin to become the next Demon King.
When Clara found out the truth after bringing Sorin in, she refused to hand Sorin over. She chose to become a traitor instead. With her trusted team of girls by her side, they fled with Sorin.
But the threats kept coming.
Sorin's fiancée in another state had her own agenda. She wanted his power, and she was willing to become an enemy to get it.
Now the whole world is after him. Arch Demons aren't allies to any race. Every faction wants him captured, controlled or dead.
How will a boy who just wanted to beat a video game boss survive a world that was never meant for him?
