Though Yuri may look like any other high schooler, his life is a ceaseless onslaught of the worst luck imaginable — so when he hears about Blade Skill Online, the ultra-immersive VRMMO where luck is a stat you can control, he can’t wait to start playing and escape his IRL problems.

Following the advice of an online guide, he chooses the summoner class with a bow for his weapon, and for his stats, he pours every last point into luck, naturally. Thus begins his blessed online life! Or at least, that was the plan. He soon learns he’s been trolled — summoners are useless, the bow is garbage, and the game’s barely playable with his abysmal stats!

To top it off, a bald barbarian starts hitting on him barely a minute into the game because the avatar randomizer made him into a hot girl! Still, Yuri’s used to dealing with whatever life throws at him, and he’s not going to let the trolls have the last laugh!

He’ll push his luck to the limit and leave the rest of BSO’s players racing to keep up!
