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

As the group convened in Magnus's room, Magnus found his consciousness adrift in a vast, inky blackness. The only light emanated from a constellation of shimmering cards that floated around him, each radiating a brilliant luminescence. The sheer number of cards was overwhelming, filling the entire space.

Every single card pulsed with a divine light, etched with strange, unfamiliar symbols. Yet, despite never encountering these symbols before, Magnus instinctively understood their meaning. These were affinity cards.

Each card represented a specific magical affinity, the symbol a visual representation of its power. Magnus recognized basic affinities like elemental control, alongside more complex ones like light and dark. Even much more complex affinities, like space and even time manipulation, hung suspended in the darkness.
