Hyunwoo is a struggling part-timer who can barely make ends meet, let alone prepare for a proper job. The only thing he excels in is online games, which contributes nothing when it comes to his search at finding a cushy job at a big-name company. One day, he learns that "Global Exus," one of the biggest gaming companies, is using their newly developed virtual reality game, "New World," to recruit new hires. With an empty bank account, an absent father, and a sick mother to care for, the game seems like Hyunwoo's only chance to turn his life around. Gone are the days of living paycheck-to-paycheck as a failed athlete, in this "New World," Hyunwoo becomes the warrior "Ark." Will he be able to find his way to outrank the others and secure the job of his dreams? (Source: Lezhin Entertainment)
