Not everyone chooses the streets. Sometimes, when everything is taken away, it's all that's left... The slums of Shindjin have long since been the champion of poverty. Violence and extortion are commonplace, where one's fate can literally be determined by a roll of the dice. A place where the fallout of these actions fall onto the shoulders of children. Shou and Jun are two such children, torn from the comfort of the lives they knew. Now thrust into an environment where organized crime IS law. With nowhere to turn, they're forced to become the very thing that ruined their lives.
From TokyoPop (based on Volume 1): Han and his life-long friend T have been masters of video games for as long as they can remember. While T seems to be quite the ladies' man in real life, Han is anything but a smooth operator. Online, though, he puts T to shame. When Han strikes out with a female recruiter for the company of his dreams, it's the last straw. Enter the World of Hartz, a new, breakthrough online gaming system offering a totally immersive experience, and the place where Han decides he'll use his gaming skills to become the hero who gets the girl, at last. All he has to do is rescue the damsel in distress. Well, that and make it past a perilous, rotting bridge, the supernatural Gate of Souls and a legion of armored warriors. To make matters worse, to win her heart he'll have to face an opponent he could never have imagined - his best friend!
On the first day at work, she realized that the company didn't think much the same as her own: the staff was like a runaway, the supervisor was like a villain, and the official document had to be beaten, and the plan and the decision had to be avoided by the supervisor. What's worse is that even a morning meeting is like a martial arts conference. Xiao Lianlang survived the flurry of demons in the workplace, and at the same time gradually discovered that behind all the magical plots, there is a sad memory of heroes and times.
