Humanity was finally recovering from the wave of an unknown Mana Apocalypse that had turned the world upside down.
A world where Science had married Magic. Advanced technology had mixed with magic spells.
Monsters took over the world and remarked earth's cities and countries as their kingdom. Half of humanity took the path of magic to survive, and half of humanity took the help of their advanced technology to survive. But what if humanity turns against humanity? The world split into two groups- The Science Users and The Mana Users
Hitori, who happens to be in the Mana Users group hates magic and spells. Saibai Hitori's passion, pleasure, and happiness lie in gaming. He unlocks the solo Cultivation System and the ability to cultivate in and outside the most popular game. 
[The Emperor of the Apocalypse] is currently the best VRMMORGP open-world, kingdom-building survival game in the world. In this apocalyptic world, players try to clear dungeons marked on the map to mark that as their territory and eventually become the one and only Emperor of the Apocalypse.
In times of destruction, trusting someone will only destroy you. Players and guilds started attacking each other in the game. Guild Vs. Guild, Player Vs. Player, Player Vs. Environment, Realm vs. Realm. Everything is on, everything is going down. 
Hitori's goal is to unravel the secret behind his parents' death and become the Emperor of the Apocalypse. 
In a world where humans evolve and survive, only I cultivate and conquer.

Whenever you start reading a book, it becomes your responsibility to finish reading the book. But, the book is equally responsible to hold our attention. 
So, at any point, if you think that the book is unable to hold your attention anymore, drop it. Seriously, drop it. Maybe come back later to read the book. 
Probably the time is not good to read the novel. Or maybe your mind frame does not want to or is unable to absorb the book's content.
Whatever the reason may be, drop the book. At some point in your life, you may come back to read the book, but for now, stop reading this book.

Solo Cultivation in The Apocalypse

A drop of blood fell from Hitori's finger into the pool of blood that he was lying in. 


Hitori's vision was blurry but he could feel the pool of his blood that covered him from all sides. He grunted and tried to open his eyes. 


A drop of blood dripped down on the ground from the tip of his finger. Hitori lifted his right hand and found his palm covered in his blood. 


He saw a notification from the system and two messages from Reon and Kamiya. 


[you have entered The Dreadful Retreat]


Hitori grunted as he tried to get up. He placed his hand in the pool and tried to push himself but he failed. 


And the health kept declining. Hitori needed a potion to stop the bleeding. 


He lifted his hand and two flasks appeared in his hands. Hitori uncorked the first flask then he drank the second potion.


Conjuration.
