The Gamer
The Gamer follows Han Jihan, an ordinary high school student who suddenly awakens a unique ability: his entire life has turned into a video game. He sees levels over people’s heads, can view his own "stat points," and gains skills by performing repetitive tasks (like "Book Reading" to increase Intelligence).
However, Jihan quickly learns that he isn't alone. He is pulled into The Abyss, a hidden supernatural society existing alongside the modern world, populated by ability users, ancient clans, and monsters. Unlike most battle-hungry protagonists, Jihan’s greatest strength is his min-maxing. He approaches survival like a hardcore gamer—grinding for EXP in "Instant Dungeons," crafting overpowered magic items, and exploiting the game's logic to become an untouchable wizard.
