William was once a gamer ranked in top 20 worldwide. After his death, he found himself in the body of an insignificant NPC in the game "God's Apocalypse." This NPC was doomed to die early in the game, filling William with dread because he knew he had only three months to live.

The game world of "God's Apocalypse" was rich with many different fantasy races, from elves to dwarves, each offering unique opportunities for him to make use of, as well as challenges to home oneself.

William was terrified because he had the knowledge of the game's future but lacked the power to change his fate. 

However, he was not without options. He retained his game panel and the unique talent "[Jack of All Trades]," which allowed him to learn skills from various professions. 

William realized that when the game's beta opened, players would arrive. As an NPC, he could assign quests to them and use his knowledge of the game's future to manipulate them to do his bidding.

He began to leverage the abilities of the players to alter his fate and grow stronger. 

William made alliances with various races, gaining their trust and learning their secrets. This enabled him to transcend the boundaries of his initial condition and steadily increase his power.

As William's power grew, players in the game started to complain: "This boss is impossibly strong and keeps getting stronger, we demand a nerf!" They were frustrated by his rapid progression and the unique challenges he posed.

In contrast, the elves venerated him: "Lord William is the ultimate chosen one, bringing an unparalleled peace to our realm." They saw him as a savior who brought stability and hope.

The mages revered him as well: "He is the trailblazer of magic, our protector. His name, William Cain, is synonymous with the god of the arcane." They admired his innovative approach to magic and his role in advancing their knowledge.

When asked how he managed to achieve such feats, William simply responded, "Knowledge is power, and it's the one thing I don't lack."

Ascension To Divine Throne

At this moment, not far from one such village.

A line of deep footprints marked the snow, leading towards a figure dressed in thin clothing—William.

The north wind whipped up tiny snow particles, stinging his face like blades.

With a calm expression, William glanced at the village in the distance but chose not to head towards it. Instead, he continued eastward.

He wore no thick, warm clothing or wind-resistant leather garments, just a simple, thin outfit.

The wind lifted the hem of William's clothing, revealing his bluish-white skin and the frostbite on his arms.

It was unclear how many days had passed since William left Ice Peak City, traversing the snowy terrain in such attire.

Each day, he traveled east for half a day, spending the rest hunting magical beasts or practicing martial arts.

At nightfall, he would light a campfire and immerse himself in studying and calculating arcane knowledge.
