Jaerim received his death sentence at the age of twenty-two. Unable to accept his tragic fate, Jaerim went to a nerve wracking escape from the oppressive authorities who wanted to shoot him dead, resulting to a premature arrest. Barron Grey, a grim reaper, pardoned Jaerim of his death by becoming a specimen in an experimental life-and-death simulation by the WIC Company. With nothing to spare than his life, Jaerim blithely accepted the condition and became a Death Cast, scouring ten different worlds created from the most primitive fear of the human heart. Death Cast is a story of Jaerim's last struggle against fate, discovering secrets of the darkest side of humanity, the sacrifices and betrayal, ruthlessness and genuine kindness, and the desperate calls of the fallen broken souls. Death is just the essence of losing life.

No change means the death of life. There is no fun living in a world that will no longer create progress. Thus, I was thinking, how about giving humanity a new challenge? It is mankind's last and greatest mission. The path of ascending and becoming real gods.
