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

The wind was warm, not cold, not hot, but a nice mix of both. It was satisfying to walk under the setting sun on a fine summer evening. Hitori glanced over the mountain he could see from the height of the castle tower.

Birds were going home and the stars were appearing in the sky. The shade was slightly blue and more orange, but the moon and stars were visible.

Hitori climbed down the tower. He was done for the day a long ago but decided to wait in the academy for the afternoon. He logged into the game, then logged out. He had nothing to do in the game anymore.

He saw the portal that led to the front gate directly. He lifted his eyes and saw the map that showed the front gate was somewhere around a kilometer away. He looked down and continued walking on the path to the front gate.
