One ordinary afternoon, the owner of the “Hardcore Gamers’ Hangout” group suddenly announced: The game mode has been permanently changed. Starting today, you’ll be clearing games in the real world. Beat a game, and all its gear, skills, and titles are yours. Fail, and the game’s creations will break into our world. This screwed-up world is doomed. Faced with this “player qualification” falling from the sky, what will you do? This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
