In a world ravaged by desolation, mankind has been cursed by a vengeful God to a perpetual cycle of games. At the age of sixteen, every human is thrust into one of three perilous worlds, each a test of their will, strength, and intellect.

Aris, a young man on the brink of adulthood, faces this grim fate. On his sixteenth birthday, he is summoned to choose his path from three daunting realms:

1. **The Wasteland:** A barren expanse where survival depends on cultivating strength amidst endless ruins.
2. **The Future:** A futuristic society where intellectual prowess can unlock unimaginable power but hides its own dangers.
3. **The War World:** A never-ending battlefield where tactical brilliance and combat skills are the only means of survival.

As Aris makes his choice and steps into his designated world, he must navigate its treacherous challenges and uncover the deeper truth behind the God’s curse. His journey will test his resolve, forge his destiny, and reveal whether he can break free from the cycle or become just another player in the game of eternity.

Universal Gaming:I recieved a SSS level talent

Vladmir eyed the two beasts with excitement before surveying his surroundings.

He picked up a large stone from the ground and brought it crashing down on one of the beast's heads. Despite the impact, the beast showed no signs of injury. Undeterred, Vladmir continued striking.

The stone began to leave visible marks on the beast's head. Eventually, its head exploded, revealing its inner flesh and spilling blood.

"ROAR!!!!!!!" The beast roared at Vladmir and opened its mouth to devour him. Vladmir slammed his foot into the ground, propelling himself away from the beast's jaws with super speed.

He landed between the two beasts, who glared at him menacingly. Vladmir pointed his hands at them and said, "Damage Amplification: 100X damage."

The heads of both beasts exploded, showering him with blood and gore.

"Still too weak," Vladmir remarked dismissively.

In a different, unknown location, Succubus watched the two beasts with a smile. She licked her lips, then began fondling her breasts. As she did, her power level increased steadily. When she finished, she pointed her hands at the beasts and said, "Oh my, I would have loved to play with you, but I'm in a hurry." A burst of pink energy shot from her hands, destroying the beasts' heads.

Elsewhere, other players, though not as powerful as Succubus or Vladmir, fought the beasts with determination.

"Fuck, all the Gods," Aris cursed, giving the sky the middle finger. He had just arrived, and the Gods were already sending beasts after them.

[All players have completed Trial 1 and have moved to Open Mode]

[Since this is the first time all players have passed the first trial, the Gods have decided to reward Zone 7 with....]

"The Fuckkkkk," Aris exclaimed in shock and excitement. NPC clans were usually strongholds that protected new Zone players from extinction by certain beasts.

While players could form clans, it was rare for them to acquire Tier-One weapons at this early stage.

[If you hear your name, you are selected by the clan]

"That's all, folks. If you weren't listed, you're not good enough," the announcement concluded.

Players in various parts of the Zone shouted in frustration.

Aris was surprised to be chosen for a clan. He felt his performance had been lacking. As he pondered this, a red alert flashed in his mind:

[You have reached the end of the allocated time]

Realizing he hadn't used a gaming pod/cabin and had only a 5-hour time limit, he accepted his spot in the clan and went offline.

"So, how was the game? Did you die?" his mom asked while preparing dinner.

"No, I didn't. In fact, I defeated two beasts on my first day."

"Wow!!!!" His mom exclaimed, secretly proud of him.

After dinner, Aris went upstairs to freshen up and sleep, knowing he had a big day ahead.

"So, Aris, what's your plan today?" his mom asked.

"I plan on job-hunting now that I'm in a clan."

Aris left the house and walked to his first stop, Dominique Gaming Co. There, he was told they only accepted applicants from Zone 5 and above.

As Aris continued his job search, his hopes dwindled until he reached his last stop for the day: Mystique Gaming.

Entering the building, he was greeted by the lively atmosphere of gamers and the constant sound of paperwork. He met a friendly secretary who directed him to the head of human resources. After learning he was from Zone 7, the HR manager accepted him and assigned him to Team LightDragon.

The porter who escorted him to his new team was kind. When Aris entered the room, he was surprised to see her.
