They stole his future and crippled his body. Now, he’ll rewrite the history in blood.

Damon was on the verge of greatness—first in line to claim Bloodreign, the legendary artifact said to grant unmatched power in Earth Online, the world’s first fully immersive VR game. But his best friend betrayed him, stealing the item, and leaving Damon broken, crippled and nearly deleted. Kicked from the guild, mocked by the community, and trapped in a weak, crippled body, he was forgotten until his last desperate attempt somehow brought him back in time to the day when it all began.

Now Damon was back and he knew what he was going after.

A hidden lineage. A cursed class. A bloodline sealed since the dawn of the multiverse.

Last time he played fair. Last time he trusted. This time he would hunt and devour. With years of knowledge of every exploit, every secret quest, every bugged mechanic, he will climb straight to the top. Armed with the blood of the first Vampire King, he was an apex predator now who stood at the very top.

However, unbeknownst to him, a catastrophe lurks in the shadows. Damon finds out that the game itself might not be as simple as it seemed and the entire future of the humanity might depend on this game.

The saber-tooth lunged, claws outstretched, fangs gleaming with saliva. It was fast, but Damon was faster.

He vanished mid-step using [Blink], reappearing behind the beast in a crouch. Both shadow daggers slashed out in an X formation, cutting across the monster's hind legs just as it landed. A spray of blood and shadow burst into the air.

[Ding! Critical Hit! Saber-Tooth – 1090 damage dealt.]

The beast shrieked and twisted, swiping its tail like a whip to knock him away, but Damon ducked low and slipped under it, his daggers dancing across its underbelly in a flurry of shadowy arcs. The hits could be better but they were good enough to get the job done.

The saber-tooth tried leaping back to reset the fight using its wind affinity and increasing its speed, but Damon activated [Shadowstep] and reappeared mid-air above the beast, both daggers pointed down.
