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

Magnus fell silent, the question echoing in the quiet space. What did he truly want power for? Yes, he yearned to stand at the apex, to control his destiny, not be controlled by it.

Deep within him, a primal urge resonated, the same thirst for power that drove every ambitious soul. He craved control, dominance, the freedom to shape his own world. To be above all, unchallenged, untouchable.

He wrestled with these thoughts for a moment before answering. "To be above all of heaven and earth," he declared, a steely determination hardening his gaze. "To be so powerful that no one would dare even think of challenging me."

Then, a flicker of anger ignited in his eyes. "Most importantly," he added, his voice laced with venom, "to kill the gods. All of them."

A deep, booming laughter erupted, echoing through the space like a clap of thunder.
