"The gods are losing, and they’re throwing disposable heroes at the problem. I’m just the latest fool on the list." When Daion wakes up in a void, faced with a sarcastic, all-powerful "god," he quickly realizes two things: He’s dead. His afterlife is a joke. With no memories, no blessings, and no choice, he’s dumped into a dying world overrun by corrupt monsters, where the gods are losing a war they refuse to fight themselves. The so-called "heroes" sent before him? Dead. Useless. Forgotten. Armed with a cursed gauntlet he can’t remove, a sword that radiates something… wrong, and a power system he doesn’t understand, Daion must navigate a brutal world where the strong exploit the weak, summoned ones are feared more than revered, and the gods treat mortals like pieces on a board. No destiny. No prophecy. No divine protection. Just a cruel game where survival is the only rule. But if the gods think he’s just another disposable pawn… they’re in for a surprise.

Tasked with guiding her is an inexperienced English Literature teacher fresh out of university - Lee Jun, who just began his teaching career at the prestigious Royal International School of Seoul. Lin’s knack for spectacularly failing at everything precedes her and her latest antics (getting expelled from a British boarding school for punching a royal) have landed her back in Korea, much to the King's exasperation.
