“Let’s make this ruined world think it’s a game.” Kim Jin-woo, a game director, is one day summoned as the otherworlder “Arsilan.” After a life of fierce struggle, Arsilan has reached the realm of an archmage—but his world now stands on the brink of destruction because of entities called “Erosions.” Only Jin-woo, who came from Earth, is immune to Erosion. Yet even as an archmage, it’s impossible for a single person to face countless Erosions alone within a mere three years. “I just want to let go of everything and rest now.” At the very moment he gives up and empties his heart, Jin-woo transcends and becomes a Transcendent. With that, he gains an absolute authority: the “Gate of Souls.” Through the Gate of Souls he can now travel back and forth between Earth and Arsilan. He uses this power to summon Earthlings—who are also immune to Erosion—into Arsilan via the Gate, making them believe it’s all just a game and sending them to fight the Erosions. Thus begins the so‑called “Arsilan Saga Project,” in which a worn-out game director-turned-transcendent turns a dying world into a “game” scenario and mobilizes players from Earth to save it.

Game perfection

I was so happy when reading the summary not saying he lost his powers and the world he got sent back to was earth with monsters and he kept his powers as well. Huge w on that page Its a must read its not really new in this aspect but its much better especially since he actually is strong and has a reason. The side characters carry this heavy only reason its a 9 and not a 10 is the glossing over key facts and his abilities other than just opening a portal like he basically became a god and thats all his power up d...

One of the best "mc is npc and uses players from earth" Genre

Great execution and pacing and story 10/10, On par with "Keep a Low Profile, Sect Leader". Most comics of this genre are just slop manhuas(most are axed too) PS: I request artist to make some H34 too

Thought this was a generic regression or something turned out to be better

In the whole thing what stood out to me was the "acting" of the NPCs. I mean they could've just made it sound like it was AI. But everyone is just acting like NPC😂 it's funny asf. Started out very good.

Too Freaking Good.
