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.

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.

Mark listened carefully as Damon explained everything he knew. "Azuna had been with him right from when she was just a seedling. I am not sure why or how, but this guy became extremely injured and came to this game world all on his own. He has been here for centuries, apparently, slowly trying to recover."

I am really not a good guy
