In a world where 70% of the population possesses powers managed by a LitRPG chip, Kang Ji-Hoon, a timid young man, joins the prestigious Apex Academy to save his sick mother. Ranked last at F with his seemingly useless ability to summon a dagger, he becomes the target of relentless bullying. Pushed to his limit, he unleashes the true power of his weapon, a dark and destructive force. As he transforms into a ruthless anti-hero, a cosmic threat emerges to assimilate humanity. Ji-Hoon then realizes his dark destiny: to save everyone, he must destroy everything.

Weak Class of Anti-Hero

I looked at the image of the monster on the tablet, then at the director's face.

I stood up, shook my head, and started to leave.

The director was taken aback. "Where are you going?"

"I refuse," I said, without turning around.

A surprised silence filled the Sanctuary. Refusing a direct order from the director, especially for a mission of this importance, was unthinkable.

"Pardon?" he said, his tone growing colder. "This isn't a suggestion, Kang Ji-Hoon. It's an order."

"And I refuse it," I repeated, my voice calm. "You said this world needed heroes. I'm not one."

I gestured outward. "I've spent my life fighting. To survive. For my mother. For my place in this academy. For my revenge. I'm tired of fighting."

I looked him straight in the eye. "You gave me power. You gave me status. Now I want what I've never had."
