Vanguard of the void

Chapter 1: introduction



Dear Readers,

Have you ever found yourself making a decision that seemed harmless at the time, only to later discover it was a huge mistake? Now imagine that mistake doesn't just lead to an awkward conversation with your boss, but instead catapults you into a chaotic, monster-filled future where your life is on the line—and your only weapon is your own sheer, unprepared panic.

Meet In-su Hwang. He's just your average, nervous, caffeine-fueled accountant who doesn't quite fit into the "hero" mold. In fact, his biggest battle is trying to keep it together during a job interview. But when In-su, in a haze of late-night boredom, stumbles upon a mysterious job posting titled The Scourge Unit, he figures, "Hey, it's just another corporate gig, right?" Boy, was he wrong.

Instead of spreadsheets and cubicles, In-su finds himself hurtling through time to the year 2099, straight into a world overrun by terrifying monsters. Suddenly, he's not just an accountant anymore. He's an accidental recruit in a top-secret, elite force tasked with saving humanity from grotesque, nightmarish creatures known as Wraiths. Oh, and did I mention? He has zero combat experience.

Armed with nothing but an overwhelming sense of dread and his knack for turning every situation into an awkward disaster, In-su must learn to survive in this terrifying new world. Will he rise to the occasion? Or will he become monster food before he even gets the chance to figure out what's going on?

Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughs, chaos, and monster battles as In-su stumbles his way through a future he never asked for. Because in this story, the hero's journey starts with one very, very reluctant recruit.

So, buckle up and enjoy the ride—In-su certainly won't.

Sincerely,

Your not-so-typical hero
