Vanguard of the void
In-su Hwang, an anxious, underachieving accountant with dreams of a stable, uneventful life, stumbles upon what he thinks is an ordinary job listing online. Eager to escape his mundane existence, he carelessly applies for the position, only to find himself whisked away to a chaotic future—2130. To his horror, he has unknowingly been recruited into the Scourge Unit, an elite group of warriors tasked with fighting monstrous creatures that plague the Earth.
Upon arrival in this dystopian world, In-su is immediately thrust into a nightmarish reality. The job isn't what he expected at all. Instead of crunching numbers, he's forced to wield weapons and battle terrifying creatures known as Wraiths, beings of darkness that hunt down humanity.
Completely unprepared and in over his head, In-su has to quickly learn how to survive in a world where every corner hides a deadly monster, and every wrong move could be his last. The members of the Scourge Unit are skilled, tough, and laser-focused on their mission. In-su? Not so much. He can barely wield a sword without tripping over his own feet, let alone fight a giant monster. But what he lacks in combat skills, he makes up for in his ability to find humor in the most absurd situations.
As he navigates his bizarre new life, In-su grapples with his growing understanding of what it means to be a hero, even if he never signed up for it. His quirky, panic-ridden thoughts and hilarious misadventures as the least qualified fighter in a world of chaos bring unexpected levity to the dire situations. Along the way, he learns that bravery doesn’t come from being fearless—it comes from facing your fears, even if you’re still afraid.
Thrown into a future he never signed up for, In-su must fight, survive, and maybe—even find a way to return home. But first, he has to stop a world-ending monster apocalypse with nothing but sheer luck and an overwhelming amount of awkwardness on his side.
Can In-su go from accidental recruit to true hero? Or will he be monster chow in the process? Stay tuned for a wild ride filled with epic battles, futuristic technology, and hilarious, heartwarming moments.
