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.

"I'm serious!" Damon gasped between chuckles. "She walked into the witch hall like a damn archvillain and you… you… walked out with a fishing rod?"

Lola was giggling too, though she clearly didn't know why. "Are we going fishing now? Are we going to catch some special fishies?" she asked eagerly, eyeing the pole with interest.

John only gave a small smile to the two of them. Damon did not know why, but suddenly his brother looked very tired and sad.

Are you two fighting or being friends?
