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.

Finally, Celeste was online. She had told Slashblade that she had news about Lyla for him. For the past two days, Ethan had been waiting for her.

As the teleportation array activated, the two seconds it took to cross the map felt like an eternity.

"Hurry up… hurry up… hurry up…" Ethan muttered impatiently. Those two seconds felt longer than two hours.

Lyla had left without a word. Though they had spoken once since then, Ethan's sharp instincts told him she was hiding something.

She had reassured him that everything was fine, but he knew it was just to keep him from worrying. Still, his mind had been in turmoil, and he hoped Celeste would bring him good news.

The Countdown Begins
