Logging in as a Monster

Logging in as a Monster, an exhilarating manga, immerses readers in the thrilling world of Jinhyeok,

an undefeated PVP player in the virtual reality game “The Abyss.”

As the news of the highly anticipated sequel, “Abyss World,” reaches Jinhyeok,

he receives an unexpected proposition from his brother Jinho, a game developer. The proposal is as unconventional as it is intriguing: “Log in as a monster.”

Perplexed by this enigmatic request, Jinhyeok seeks clarification. To commemorate the launch of “Abyss World,” he is presented

with the opportunity to assume the mantle of the iconic character from “The Abyss,” the formidable “Black Knight.” His mission: to engage in battles against other users as this legendary character.

However, this offer is not without its conditions. Jinhyeok engages in a negotiation with his brother,

inquiring about the rewards he can expect in return for accepting this unique role. Eventually, he agrees to the terms and embarks on his journey as the “Black Knight.”

But the narrative takes an unexpected twist as Jinhyeok finds himself repeatedly logging in as various boss mobs, including “Hunter Hwirodren,” “Mirror King Replica,” and “Mobile Captain Jackson.” The manga skillfully navigates the challenges and surprises that unfold as he adapts to these ever-changing roles within the game.

Logging in as a Monster artfully explores themes of identity, adaptability, and the blurred lines between virtual and real worlds. As readers delve deeper into the narrative, they are invited to contemplate the complexities of gaming, relationships, and the transformative power of embracing unexpected challenges.

In a realm where the distinction between player and monster becomes increasingly indistinct, the manga weaves a captivating tale of adventure and self-discovery. It invites readers to embark on a journey that transcends the boundaries of traditional gaming, offering a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the genre.
