Harun

Harun summary:

In the distant future, Earth is heavily affected by consecutive nuclear wars and humans are barely surviving under a s.h.i.+eld protecting their few “Unions.” Inside the Unions, people are cla.s.sified from S to F based on their abilities/apt.i.tudes and live in residential zones that matches their cla.s.sification. Our protagonist Jung Min was born as one of the 20,000 artificially inseminated children created to prepare for the future of mankind. However, it turned out that he was apt.i.tude-less (i.e. incompetent) and was thus pushed out to the F Zone, the most dangerous and outermost part of the Union. Then everything changes on his first day of Adulthood: Jung-min receives an advanced Virtual Reality capsule from his foster father for a game called ‘Beyond.’ Overall, Harun is an incredible tale of a failure’s growth and success both in the gaming world and the real world. P.S. In Korea, Harun is considered as one of three best game-fantasy novel (the other two being the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor and Ark). I hope you enjoy!
