The rule had always been this way: the strong over the weak, the rich over the poor. Mark knew this, he'd even experienced it.

After his boss fired him for discovering the affair with his girlfriend (who also worked at their small gaming company), Mark vowed never to be humiliated like that again. He wanted to rise above everyone, to become the world's top player, the one who made the rules and decided everyone's fate.  But that was wishful thinking.  He was just a heavyset, nerdy guy with some programming skills and a large appetite.  What else did he have going for him?

Hit hard by this reality, jobless and dumped, Mark withdrew into gaming, which also became his source of income.  One day, after leaving a bad review for a game he played and streamed, he received a strange reply from the game's creator.  Suddenly, Mark found himself transported to Aetherium, the world of that same game, as Magnus Lancaster, the young lord of a crumbling territory.

Now, with this new beginning, he vowed never to be weak again, never to leave his fate in someone else's hands.

Apocalypse: Starting With Three Unique Blessings

-[The Next tier will begin in ten seconds]

"What the actual hell?" Magnus exclaimed, staring at the screen in front of him, his brows furrowing. Why would the system suddenly display this message? He was planning to advance to the next Tier, but the system usually gave him a proper warning and enough time not a ten-second countdown.

Ten seconds? Was that even enough time to do anything? To prepare his men? His soldiers stationed on the other side of the wall had come to reinforce his position during the recent battle with the Armored Ape. Ten seconds wasn't nearly enough time to get them back to their posts.

And where was the beast horde? There wasn't a single sign of them. Perhaps they were attacking a different section of the wall? But even then, it didn't make sense. Although some of his men had come to his aid, few of his summon remained at their original post. They would have alerted him if a horde was approaching.

The Council.
