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.

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

After saying goodbye to Ryan, Evelyn led the way. She didn't say a word, and Ethan was more than happy to enjoy the silence. Who knew what kind of trouble she might stir up if he tried to talk to her?

Soon, they arrived at a large, walled estate. The gate was made of redwood, a rare sight in this part of the city. In fact, such a private, standalone courtyard was almost unheard of in Ember City. Above the gate hung a beautiful ornate carving that read: Mercer Manor.

Ethan's eyes widened. 'This is some serious wealth,' he thought.

In the middle of a sprawling metropolis, this place had somehow escaped the clutches of urban development. As he glanced at the plaque on the wall beside the gate, he understood why.

The plaque bore three large words, with smaller text below explaining its historical significance. Ethan didn't bother reading the details. He followed Evelyn as she pushed open the redwood gate and stepped inside.
