THE LAST PLAYER: SYSTEM OF THE DAMNED

Countries can recover their losses by winning challenges, defeating monsters, collecting resources, and eliminating rival national teams. The winning civilization earns the right to continue existing. Losing civilizations become resources for the next game. Soon, governments realize the game has transformed the entire planet into a battlefield, and humanity begins fighting humanity. One unexpected participant, Kang Tae-jun, has transmigrated into the real world of the horror game. He remembers its monsters, hidden rules, secret locations, and coming disasters, because he has already played it. But he knows the truth that chills him: the game has no happy ending. Worse, he possesses a system nobody else can see. Tae-jun eventually discovers a secret even the Observers do not know: his system was not given to him by the game. It belongs to something that existed before the Observers, and that ancient presence is beginning to awaken inside him.
