Hiroshi Yuuki

Hiroshi Yuuki is a high school student whose days as a competitive runner were cut short by shadows from his past, leading him to seek refuge in the world of gaming. Deceived into purchasing the notoriously brutal RPG 'Extreme Quest'—a game infamous for its punishing pain mechanics and hostile environment—he finds himself struggling to survive in a world designed to break players. Though his pessimistic nature often causes him to crumble under pressure, it is precisely within these desperate circumstances that a deeply buried tenacity surfaces, pushing him to rise again and again against a game the entire community has written off as trash.
