HellBlade, the most powerful character in all of Horizon Online, is all but unstoppable. In an MMO built for legendary heroes, he is a villain. He rules all of the Dark Nation where heroes are constantly invading for treasure and glory. His dungeons are endless, and his level is at the top of the rankings.

But when his archrival discovers his weakness and exploits the game mechanics to bring HellBlade down, he is finally defeated and forced to respawn.

Except when he awakens back in Horizon Online, he is no longer the powerful HellBlade, but stuck in the routines and body of an NPC shopkeeper of a far-off village.

So now he must figure out how to not only break free from the NPC restrictions, but regain his former glory and seek vengeance on his rival who cheated him from his throne.
