Part 1

Contains Chapter 1-188 of ORV In Part 1, the world ends as a subway carriage becomes the stage for a bloody "scenario" overseen by a mysterious creature known as a Dokkaebi. As Seoul descends into chaos, Kim Dokja uses his secret knowledge of the novel he spent ten years reading to secure powerful items and recruit allies, effectively "cheating" through death-defying trials. He maneuvers through the War of Kings, stops catastrophic "Disasters" from destroying the city, and eventually travels to a miniature world called Peace Land. The saga culminates in the Dark Castle, where Dokja must make a devastating choice to save his companions, ultimately leading to a climax that shifts the story's scale from a local survival game to a cosmic conflict.
