During the early years of the hottest MMORPG called Arena, the world’s top ranker Meleegod vanished after setting every possible record in the virtual world. In the real world, this deathly melee damage dealer was the happy-go-lucky Kang Hyeonu, who simply deleted his character and quit his hobby to finish mandatory military service and inherit his father’s company. This rosy future dissolves within two years when a business rival makes his father go bankrupt. Hyeonu struggles to make ends meet with a string of part-time jobs, but his best friend has a better idea. He urges Hyeonu to conquer the Arena once again and earn a cushy living as a gaming celebrity. Vowing to strike it rich and avenge his father, the former Meleegod returns to the Arena as a newbie. Only this time, he’s out for blood!
