After being discharged from military service and wandering through life, Hanbin Ryu is suddenly transported to another world. However, his "guideline," the system he was given to aid in his survival and growth, was full of bugs, causing him to get stuck in the tutorial phase for more than 20 years. When he is finally freed from this personal hell, he discovers that everyone has turned against strangers like him. How will this low-level super tutorial rookie survive?
