The King Who Breaks All Rules.


"Every move decides life and death. Every choice takes something away. But this King chooses to shatter the rules instead."

The strategist who once controlled every board… lost everything when the game turned against him.

Known as “The King of Impossible Moves,” Ryu was a pro gamer who could twist any hopeless battle into a win. But for him, victory was never free—it demanded sacrifice, no matter how high the price.

But with every victory, he lost something—friends, trust, his own humanity, and finally his career. Betrayed and broken, Ryu made a single vow—“Next time, I won’t sacrifice anyone. I’ll write my own rules.”

A Game Where Faith Decides Life and Death

Trapped in a mysterious VRMMORPG, “The War of Faith,” Ryu awakens on a massive glowing board where people are “pieces,” and every move demands their faith and sacrifice.
The system’s rules are simple—

Command your pieces.

They will risk their lives for you.

Victory depends only on their belief.

But Ryu isn’t a normal player. He is a strategist with only one belief—“A King doesn’t follow rules… A King writes them.”

The King Who Defies the System

With his newly formed team—
Kael, a logical knight who trusts facts, not faith.

Lyra, a sarcastic rogue who calls him a “stupid King” but never leaves his side.

Elira, a healer whose faith shakes even the system itself.

Ryu begins building his own board. He breaks the system’s rules, teaches his team to move by their own will, and slowly starts changing the balance of the entire game world.

The War of Broken Trust

When reality and the game collide, Ryu’s greatest enemy isn’t monsters or players—it’s the system’s relentless countdown, a force that will erase everything from existence if he refuses to obey.

But compromise has never been an option for him. His final gamble is simple—
“Either I will break the countdown’s rules… or the King will fall forever.”

Will a King Who Breaks All Rules Survive His Own Game?

Every move is a sacrifice. Every sacrifice writes a new rule.
And now, only one question remains—
Can a King who defies the system survive long enough to make his last move?

The Strategist King Who Defies the System

The rift in the sky was slowly growing larger. The black light pouring out of it had covered the entire village. The air felt so heavy that breathing seemed difficult.

Kael gripped his sword tightly and stood beside Ryu. His face showed a mix of anger and tension.

"I've never seen a rift this big before."

Ryu gave a faint smile and looked up at the sky.

Kael glared at him angrily. "Will you ever stop joking?"

Ryu just shrugged casually. "Nope, because it's better to keep the mood light before dying."

Just then, A loud roar echoed from the rift, and a terrifying creature fell from the sky. Its form was half-human and half-beast, its body made of black smoke, and its eyes glowed like burning red embers. Its feet touched the ground, but it wasn't walking—it floated in the air.

Kael raised his sword. "I'll go from the left, you from the right. We need to distract it."

Ryu looked at him and smirked slightly. "Wow. Giving me orders now? Fine, sounds fun."

The two of them charged at the creature together, Kael's sword crackled with black lightning, and when it struck the creature arm, there was a loud explosion. The creature roared in anger and swatted Kael away with its massive hand , throwing him far back.

At that moment, Ryu created a golden circle beneath the creature's feet. The ground cracked, and for a brief moment, the creature was pinned down. But it quickly tore through its smoky form and freed itself.

Ryu let out a long breath and smiled. "Stronger than I expected… this is getting fun."

Kael got up from the ground, glaring at him. "Fun? You're a psycho."

Ryu grinned. "Maybe… or maybe this is just my way of curing boredom."

The creature roared and charged at them, black smoke sparking like lightning from its body. Ryu and Kael attacked together Kael's rapid sword strikes and Ryu's magic circles tearing into the creature's smoky form.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the rift—an unmistakably human voice. A figure fell from the rift.

It was a man—wrapped in a long black cloak, his face half-covered by a mask, and his hair pure white. He landed on his feet effortlessly, as if the fall hadn't hurt him at all. He lifted his head toward Ryu, his eyes glinting strangely.

"…So it's you. You really came."

Ryu stopped, his expression turning serious for the first time.

The masked man chuckled faintly. "How could I not? You shouldn't even be here… Your very existence shakes this world."

Kael looked at the man in shock. "You two… know each other?"

Ryu didn't glance at Kael, his eyes fixed on the masked man.

The man spoke slowly, "Me? I'm just a prophet… counting your sins."

He raised his hand, and the smoke around him shifted violently. The creature they were fighting suddenly glowed brighter, its body surging with even greater power.

Ryu took a deep breath and smiled. "Ah… so you're not the audience, you're the director. Let's see how long your show lasts."

Kael tightened his grip on his sword, anger in his eyes. "Ryu! This isn't an ordinary rift monster. someone controlling it!"

Ryu's eyes glimmered with hidden excitement. "I know. And that makes it even more interesting."

The masked man gave a slight bow. "Then. shall we begin the game?"

The creature body glowed brighter, lightning crackled through the air, and the entire village shook with a terrifying roar.
