Anticipation builds as readers across the English-speaking world will dive into this isekai masterpiece, with the first volume slated for release on July 9, 2024.

The narrative unfolds around Kanazaki Rei, a dedicated gamer whose financial burdens burgeon due to the exorbitant costs of his sister's medical treatments. In a desperate quest for aid, Rei stumbles upon a mysterious email promising assistance. Little does he know that clicking that fateful link would thrust him headlong into the perilous realm of his beloved video game.

In this virtual world, every boss defeated translates into much-needed funds, a lifeline for Rei's ailing sister.

The saga unfolded with compelling momentum, reaching its zenith with the publication of the second compiled volume in December 2014.
