They stole his future and crippled his body. Now, he’ll rewrite the history in blood.

Damon was on the verge of greatness, first in line to claim Bloodreign, the legendary artifact said to grant unmatched power in Earth Online, the world’s first fully immersive VR game. But his best friend betrayed him, stealing the item, and leaving Damon broken, crippled and nearly deleted. Kicked from the guild, mocked by the community, and trapped in a weak, crippled body, he was forgotten until his last desperate attempt somehow brought him back in time to the day when it all began.

Now Damon was back and he knew what he was going after.

A hidden lineage. A cursed class. A bloodline sealed since the dawn of the multiverse.

Last time he played fair. Last time he trusted. This time he would hunt and devour. With years of knowledge of every exploit, every secret quest, every bugged mechanic, he will climb straight to the top. Armed with the blood of the first Vampire King, he was an apex predator now who stood at the very top.

However, unbeknownst to him, a catastrophe lurks in the shadows. Damon finds out that the game itself might not be as simple as it seemed and the entire future of the humanity might depend on this game.

Damon paused atop a slanted rock, eyes narrowing as he scanned the dark slopes ahead. Pairs of glowing eyes stared back at him from every direction. He only had a moment to process the whole thing before the eyes flickered and vanished. 


The next instant, countless beasts shadow stepped all around him, and their levels were nothing to joke about.


One after the other, the beasts mauled at him from every angle, slashing, snapping, diving from cliffs, phasing through rocks, teleporting short distances like rabid, shadow-infused gremlins. Each was slippery as fuck. 


Damon blocked a bite just to have another beast appear behind him. He dodged claws only for a third to clamp onto his leg. When he threw one off, two more lunged for his throat.
