An ex-pro gamer's body and mind are on the line as he fights for his life in the Hell level of a mysterious "Tutorial" in this dark fantasy LitRPG.

Lo Fennrick is going to die. Maybe later this month, maybe this very week. Either way, the homeless ex-pro gamer is only going to avoid starving if he freezes to death first.

On a snowy New Year's Eve, Fennrick negotiates one last hurrah in a seedy internet cafe, but at the stroke of midnight, he receives a tantalizing invitation: "You have been invited to join the Tutorial." And when presented with the available difficulty levels, he makes the obvious choice: Hell.

Soon, Fennrick finds himself in frenzied, violent combat, and it's a toss-up as to which he'll lose first: his life or what little sanity he has left. With his criminal record, estranged family, and nonexistent future, he's ready to accept death.

But with monsters lurking in every corner, he's surprised to find himself battling all comers--human or otherwise--in a desperate attempt to save his own worthless self. Can Fennrick emerge from Hell with a single shred of his sanity intact--or will it be game over?
