QUESTISM

Synopsis

Gaming geek Su-Hyeon Kim hates school, and the dislike is mutual. Every day he faces relentless bullying from his classmates, leading him to wish his life was more like the RPG quest games he plays. Su-Hyeon’s wish is granted when a quest prompt pops up in real life with an easy quest and an enticing reward. With nothing to lose he takes the chance, and one quest soon leads to another. As the stakes get higher and the rewards get bigger, Su-Hyeon soon finds he’s gone from being an ostracized nobody to the top of the school. Just how far will Su-Hyeon take his quests, and how far will he fall if he refuses to participate? (Source: WEBTOON, edited)
