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 groaned, his eyes fluttering open against the insistent sunlight that spilled into the room. He blinked, slowly adjusting to the brightness.

"Lord Magnus, you're awake," a voice said softly from beside his bed.

Turning his head, Magnus saw Seraphina perched on a stool, her expression filled with concern.

"How are you feeling, Lord Magnus?" she asked.

"I'm fine, nothing to worry about," Magnus replied. Then, a frown creased his brow. "How long have I been out?"

"It's been five days since you lost consciousness," Seraphina answered.

"Five days!" Magnus exclaimed internally, a wave of surprise washing over him.

"What happened while I was unconscious?" he asked, his frown deepening.

"Not much, Lord Magnus…" Seraphina began, proceeding to fill him in on the events of the past few days.

A Moment Of Peace.
