Synopsis
World End is infamous for being the hardest virtual reality game ever created. Brutal, unforgiving, and nearly impossible to beat, it has crushed even the best of players. Kael was once one of them—an elite gamer at the top of his game. But after a sudden accident, he wakes up trapped inside World End with nothing: no gear, no stats, and no way to survive. Until his luck kicks in. From SSS-class abilities drawn from random boxes to jackpot wins at in-game slot machines, Kael's fortune turns absurdly in his favor. But luck can't solve everything… right? With no combat skills to rely on, can Kael really conquer the deadliest game in existence using luck alone? ---

Chapter 1 - "This Isn't a Game Anymore"

---

This isn't where I live. What the hell happened I was just coming back from work when I got struck by something head on.

This world… it's a virtual reality game, a place where magic, science, superpowers, and fantasy all coexist. And for some reason, this is now my reality.

This is where the game begins.

It's been a month since I woke up here in this world .

Dammit.

I don't know exactly how it happened, but I must've been transmitted into the game after my accident. How do I know it's this game?

Because I'm Kael Vi-rel—one of the people who helped support the game's development back in school. I knew every story, every patch, every hidden quest. I even had ten years of experience before I finally cleared the game once.

I was one of the top-ranked players. Some even called me the best. Well… maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. But I do know one thing—

This isn't just a game anymore this is reality.

These stats are awful. Too average to survive, let alone thrive. Sure, I might make it through the first disaster, but what about the rest?

This world runs on power, and if I die here, it might really be the end for me.

Is there anything I can do…?

---

Ding!

You have received a gift: [Drone].

...Huh?

---

[Drone: Filming Type]

This drone can play all Kael Vi-rel's gameplay videos from Earth, saved from his original account.

---

What the—?! A drone that shows my old gaming videos? Even though the networks here and Earth are totally different, I can still access my content?

Heh. With this, I can review all my old runs. That's huge. Plus, I can use the drone for surveillance, tracking, and maybe even help with loot farming.

The only issue is still my crappy stats…

Wait.

What if I max out my Luck?

In this game, Luck affects everything—drop rates, hidden quests, encounters, success rates—it's ridiculously powerful. That was one of my secret strategies back then.

Let's go for it.

---

[Status Adjustment Prompt]

Would you like to redistribute your stat points to increase Luck?

Yes.

Please spin the Luck Enhancement Roulette...

Spin… spin… spin…

In a Nearby Café

I'd need about a month to fully max it out. No worries. While it runs in the background, let me grab a drink.

"Excuse me, one soda please."

"That'll be 100 shards."

I paid with my smartwatch and left quickly.

Just outside, I overheard two students talking—

"Hey, did you hear? The Belester Hero Academy entrance exam is today at 11 AM!"

"Oh yeah, I was about to head there."

Hmm. I should try too. Who knows—I might actually pass.

---

[Exam Venue – Screening Hall]

"Please take your number. It will be your identity during the screening process."

Number 239, huh?

There were hundreds of cadets waiting. After about two hours, I finally heard my number.

"Number 239, please enter."

I stepped into the room. Four examiners stared at me from across the table.

They didn't waste time.

---

"Why do you want to be a hero?"

I hadn't prepared an answer. So I just said the first thing that came to mind.

"To protect myself and my family… and bring honor to my country."

"If you gain power, what would you use it for?"

They'd see right through anything fake, so I kept it honest.

"To protect myself."

"What were you planning to do if you didn't get in?"

"...Go home, I guess. Get a job. Something small—delivery, odd security work, maybe monster hunting in the outskirts if I got desperate.

Nothing special.

I only took the exam because I had nothing else.

If I failed? I would've just... moved on."

"Do you think you deserve the spot you earned?"

"...Deserve?

I don't know.

The others trained their whole lives for this. Some have family names, battle records, real power.

I just showed up.

But I passed the same test they did. No cheating, no begging.

If that's not enough—maybe they're the ones with the problem."

Q: "What would you do if your ideals were challenged by reality?"

A:

> "Then I'd adapt.

What's the point of clinging to ideals if they get you or your team killed?

I'll hold onto what matters—but I'm not suicidal about it."

Q: "You're surrounded, outnumbered, and underpowered. What's your move?"

A:

> [grins] "Rely on my luck. Literally.

I've survived worse by gambling on one-percent odds.

But if luck doesn't work... I'll think. Fast. That's how I got this far."

Q: "What scares you the most?"

A:

> "Losing control.

Not dying—not even failure—just the feeling that no matter what I do, I can't change a thing.

That... would suck. So I'm doing everything I can to stay ahead."

Last - Q: "If you could change your fate, would you?"

Kael's Answer:

> "...If I had the chance? Sure."

"But fate's not something I trust. I'd rather rely on what I can control, even if it's just a little."

"Luck, instinct, timing—those are real. Fate?"

[Shrugs.]

"That's just a word people use when things don't go their way."

"That will be all. Thank you."

I bowed and left the room.

One Month Later...

There's no end to this grind.

Ha... Hahahaha! Finally!

Even when others tried, they couldn't push their Luck stat over 50. But I've done it—99 Luck, the absolute limit.

Sure, all my other stats are trash. But from here on out...

Let the real game begin.
