King Nothing

Nineteen-year-old James is living the life: even though he is a college dropout, he is rich and Internet famous for crushing his online enemies five times in a row in the world championships of the MMORPG known as "The Wrath of Heaven." People call him “King” while hailing his Holy Fingers, which he uses at critical times during a game. It has become a spectacle among his followers, even haters, to see his fingers glide on his keyboard like a swan attacking its prey. Indeed, James is the It Boy, the Gaming Superstar – an unbeatable king – but not for long. He receives an anonymous message about a trap, so he asks his staff to investigate, but they can't decode the message nor can they find the sender. Little did he know that a mercenary lurks among the set of players for this year’s championship. A mysterious gamer bent on humiliating him is able to hack the game's coding to force James to live as the most dispensable character – a sidekick whose task is to die a violent death to let the hero continue his quest. In-game, he discovers that he bleeds, and the prospect of dying is very real. Can the arrogant King outwit the game, rewrite his character’s destiny, and return to the real world?
