Choose your player: a noble hero intent on saving the world, or a devious demon prince hell-bent on conquering it? A normal choice when playing a new game.
But when gaming nerd In-gong Ju wakes up inside the VR game Knight Saga: RE, he discovers that the choice was made for him. He is not the hero. He is not even a proper villain.
He is Siutra, the tiny, gnome-like ninth prince of the demon kingdom. The runt of the litter. The brother everyone forgets. The prince that even the servants ignore.
In most games, a character like Siutra exists to die in the tutorial or serve as comic relief. In-gong knows this because he played the game before waking up inside it.
He also knows what is coming. The Day of Massacres. An event where the game’s antagonist, Zephyr Ragnaroth, slaughters every single prince and princess of the demon kingdom. Including him.
In-gong has a head start. He knows the game mechanics. He knows which skills are overpowered. He knows which siblings to trust and which ones will stab him in the back.
Now the ninth prince, the weakest of them all, must unlock hidden abilities, level up faster than anyone expects, and build alliances with brothers and sisters who currently see him as a joke.
Can a gamer who was never meant to be a hero survive a demon court where everyone is trying to kill him?
