Synopsis

After playing the game "Dungeon and Stone" for nine years, Hansoo Lee finally reached the boss stage which had never been cleared by anyone before. However, upon entering the boss room, he received a notification that he had completed the tutorial and was now inhabiting the body of a playable character named Bjorn Jandel, who was a barbarian.

In the world of "Dungeon and Stone," only one city remained standing following the world's destruction. Every month, a labyrinth would appear, offering explorers a chance to clear it and earn rewards. Barbarians were viewed as useless in all but combat, and those who didn't fight were unable to survive. If someone couldn't pay the exorbitant taxes imposed by the city, they faced the death penalty for tax evasion.

If it's discovered that a player possesses the character they're playing, they're labelled an "evil spirit" and killed. The only way for Hansoo to survive is to venture into the labyrinth and risk his life in battle. Armed with his accumulated skills from nine years of gameplay and a stupidly strong barbarian physique, he strives to survive in this game.

The story doesn't start very interesting, but the introduction is needed for a solid worldbuilding that centers the story around our MC, the Barbarian Bjorn, son of Jandel. How will Bjorn survive & tackle this game world & will he ever be able to go back to his original IRL world? All that without being exposed as an Evil Spirit (= gamer). Evil Spirits are mercilessly executed by the local game NPC's upon discovery. Evil Spirits ...

Author has beef with people named Hans

Just simply amazing the story is really well crafted, If you love video games then you will definitely like this one. The story follows Lee Hansoo, a dedicated gamer who, after spending nine years playing notoriously difficult game "Dungeon and Stone" finds himself transported into the game world as Bjorn Yandel, a barbarian character he once played.

The survival elements and strategic gameplay really sets this apart from the others. Unlike the typical overpowered MC's, he relies on his game knowledge with the raw strength of his barbarian body to navigate labyrinths and societal challenges. The worldbuilding is exceptional, portraying ...

Main Character (MC):

Smart, But Not Omniscient: The MC adapts quickly to new situations and uses his knowledge of the game. But reality hits hard, and he faces real setbacks.
Scammer with Humor: The MC adds a bit of humor by being a scammer, which lightens up the otherwise dire world he's in.
Not Overpowered, ...
