From Modern Warfare to Medieval Magic

The world as Hoshi knew it was a place of bullets, betrayal, and boredom. After a high-stakes standoff in his own world, he wakes up in a realm that feels more like a video game than reality: Avalon, the city where dreams supposedly become reality. But Hoshi quickly learns that behind the delicious smells of the marketplace and the glory of the knightly duels lies a kingdom rotting with corruption and a justice system that favors the elite.

The Mark of the Dead Kingsman

Hoshi’s transition to this new world isn’t smooth. After intervening in a rigged duel, he finds himself imprisoned alongside Mahu, a warrior bearing the “Dead Kingsman” tattoo—a permanent mark signifying the murder of royalty. Despite Mahu’s immense strength, he is a victim of a corrupt legal system where money is the only ticket to freedom. For Hoshi, however, “enchanted” prison bars are nothing more than a minor inconvenience to be shattered by hand.

Siege of the 10 Jackals

The true test of Hoshi’s power arrives when the 10 Jackals, a notorious group of bandits who have laid siege to dozens of kingdoms, infiltrate the palace. While the kingdom’s guards fall in seconds, Hoshi realizes that his “firepower” is unlike anything this world has ever seen. In a display of strength that leaves the castle in ruins and the Jackals in retreat, Hoshi marks his arrival. Avalon may be in pieces, but for a man who treats this world like a game, the journey has only just begun.
