Ryan Winters, an overworked college student stuck in a dead-end job, finds himself without explanation transported to a mysterious space with a bizarre group of strangers, including his infuriatingly loud boss, John Williams. The strange environment seems like a bad prank, but things quickly escalate when they encounter a cold, enigmatic woman who gives them cryptic instructions, a knife, and a strange system interface that turns their world upside down. As Ryan deals with the weird situation, he realizes that survival depends not just on physical strength, but also on the use of a newly activated system that grants everyone some powerful abilities and functions. Trapped in a world that feels like a video game, Ryan and the others are forced to rely on each other, or betray each other, as they try to understand where they are and who they can trust. With a mysterious town offering power and wealth to those who can survive, Ryan must decide whether to keep his head down, overthrow his arrogant boss, or embrace the chaos of this new world. With his every move tracked by an unnerving voice in his head that keeps giving him bad ideas of what he should do much more than before, Ryan must question everything he knew about life and what it means to truly survive in a place where money and power are everything. Will he remain just another pawn, or will he rise to become something else? The clock is ticking, and Ryan’s journey has just begun.
