They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world.
Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered.
A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began.
Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top.
But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!]
Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking.
“…The hell?”
The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level.
And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history.
He’s not just here to reclaim his throne.
He’s here to take everything.
Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish.
And the ones who betrayed him?
They won’t live to do it again.
30 chapters in and i can say i am throughly enjoying it some minor spelling mistakes here and there but overall story and world building is on point it is your typical regression/revenge vmmorpg story but its actually very well written no excessive info dumping just the right amount to get you to where you need to be the set ups for later chapters are all very well written and the mc is not overly op he just has a slight advantage all in all id suggest a pick up if u like game like stories

this novel is defenitly inspired from World of Warcraft game and to be fair I have not read more than 3 chapters so my total score does not count.
Just got to chapter 100 living it so far. A good blend of the time spent in and out of the game
While a familiar start of betrayal and rebirth, the story and characters make this a fantastic and unique read. I love the world building, slowly filling in and expanding, not like some that Info dump. Each character feels like a real person with their own quirks. I'd highly recommend.
The novel being inspired by WoW’s druid class is a massive boon for me, as that has always been my favorite class and even in the thousands of novels I’ve checked out, I’ve never seen anything like it. Sadly though, other than that, it’s not really for me. Despite REALLY liking the idea of VRMMO, it always devolves, in my view, to petty things irl, political garbage, and massive guild fights…gone is any sense of adventure or exploration That aside, there are a good bit of shitty men in the novel, and while not disgustingly dark, the casual mention of abusing women did damper my interest in reading the novel. Cheers, I hope the novel continues on happily
