Summary
Yoon Jigu, a young man who is extremely wary and distrustful of others due to past bullying experiences. He finds solace and a sense of control in online gaming, where he excels.
His world takes an unexpected turn when a new neighbor moves in next door. This neighbor is Mok Neuta, a handsome and somewhat eccentric man who turns out to be “Neuta,” a high-ranking and formidable player from the same online game guild as Jigu.
What makes their dynamic interesting is that Jigu, in the game, has a habit of mercilessly “slaying” or defeating Neuta, oblivious to his real-world identity. Their initial interactions are marked by this chaotic in-game rivalry, where Jigu confidently dominates Neuta, contrasting sharply with Jigu’s shy and reserved real-life personality.
As they begin to interact more in real life, a slow-burn romance develops. Jigu’s cautious nature clashes with Neuta’s more open and forward demeanor. The manhwa explores their journey of building trust and understanding, gradually revealing their true selves to each other beyond their online avatars. It delves into themes of overcoming past trauma, the blurred lines between online and offline relationships, and the humor and awkwardness that arise from their unique situation
