Yen Press publishes the webtoon in English through its Ize Press label. Its synopsis follows Youngwoo Shin, who struggles through odd jobs to barely cover his loan payments. His family sees him as a hopeless video game addict.
In the hugely popular VR game Satisfy, Youngwoo plays Grid the Warrior, whose abilities are equally mediocre. His fortunes change when he discovers a book holding a legendary blacksmith’s lost knowledge, but using it resets every level he has earned.
Forced to begin again, Grid faces the challenge of improving his skills and finding dependable allies to survive. Alternatively, equipment powerful enough to rival the gods could make those efforts unnecessary.
Yen Press released the webtoon’s 11th volume on August 18. Tapas also carries the webtoon digitally, while Tapas and WuxiaWorld publish the original web novel in English.
The webtoon adapts Sae Nal Park’s web novel, with writing by Dong Wook Lee and artwork by Team Argo.
