A Techno-Horror Story of the Undernet
W0RLDTR33 tells a dark techno-thriller story centered on hackers who uncover a hidden layer of the internet. This secret network can reshape reality and is learning how to control it.
In 1999, Gabriel and his friends discover the Undernet, a concealed architecture beneath the internet. They document their findings on a message board called W0RLDTR33. Eventually, they lose control.
An unknown figure breaches the system and embraces the violent influence of the Undernet. Gabriel and his group believe they sealed it away, but they were wrong. The threat returns, and the world begins to understand the meaning of PH34R.
Strong Sales and Critical Acclaim
Since launching in 2023, W0RLDTR33 has sold out multiple times and gone back to press for additional printings. The series has also earned widespread critical praise.
