PICK ME UP!

Han is a top ranker of the Gatcha-mobile game “Pick Me Up!” with the account name of Loki. He suddenly gets warped into the very game, as a rusty level 1 – one star Hero. And to cap it all, his user is a complete newbie. Master Loki will have to carry him through the 100 stages to survive… The original piece is a 6 Million-viewed Korean Web-novel, which mixes a fantasy-adventure with a cynical critique about the Pay-to-win type of Mobile gatcha games.
