Zareen, a middle-aged man who has spent his life fighting for truth and justice, is fatally wounded during a violent protest. As he bleeds out on the streets, a forgotten pendant around his neck awakens fragments of a past he once thought was only a dream.

In his youth, Zareen was transported to another world—a realm torn between light and darkness, where players and natives alike struggled for survival. There, he carried the mysterious Black Card, a mark tied to ancient legends of fallen heroes. With it, he ventured into quests no ordinary adventurer dared to take: from battling monsters born of corrupted souls to sealing a legendary ice dragon that once was a human hero.

But it wasn’t only battles that defined his journey. Along the way, Zareen discovered the warmth of comradeship, the weight of sacrifice, and the spark of his very first love—memories now resurfacing as his life in the real world slips away.
