Dark_Lord_0993

In a multiverse governed by a mysterious World Rank System, only the strongest survive the shifting roads between realities. Worlds are tiered by danger and riches, and to traverse them, one must drive, fight, and evolve—or be consumed by the system itself.

Lian, an unpredictable protagonist with the rare Fate Diver evolution path, is marked by destiny to disrupt the threads of fate. His unique vehicle transformations and a broken economy-manipulating talent, Coin Multiplier, make him a wild card in a universe that punishes anomalies.

Alongside him rides Jayce, a chaotic force of nature with a combat-modified Golden Ice Cream Truck and an implied talent that twists reality through comedic timing and absurd luck. His antics blur the lines between comedy and catastrophe.

Together, they journey through increasingly deadly world tiers, unlocking powerful vehicles, upgrading their talents, and encountering enemies who obey—or break—the same rules they do.

But as fate bends and coins multiply, the question arises: Are they rewriting the system, or are they exactly where the system wants them to be?

Multiversal travelers

Yg'drakael was not just a world. It was a wound in the universe — a place where hope came to bleed.

The moment the survivors crossed the threshold, the rules changed.

• Soulbound Rule: All damage and choices are permanent. No resets.

They stood on a cliff made of charred bone and obsidian veins that pulsed like a dying heart. Below them stretched an ocean of screaming faces, molten rivers, and siege towers built from angelic corpses. Demons the size of buildings marched across the land — each one bearing scars of ancient wars.

> "It's feeding on guilt," she said quietly. "This world's alive… and it judges us."

Lian's vision blurred for a moment. He saw his parents — their last moments before Earth fell — over and over.

Jayce gritted his teeth. "It's in our heads. Trying to break us before we start."

First Trial: The Slaughtered Village

They found it after hours of walking — a human settlement, barely standing, under siege. Demons were torturing the last 27 villagers inside.

> Intervene: Save the villagers. Demons will retaliate with overwhelming force.

Abandon: Continue onward. No resistance encountered. No resources gained.

Sacrifice: Offer one of your own to buy the villagers' freedom.

Boom clenched his fists. "They're baiting us."

Jayce's hand trembled. "If we walk away, we're just like them."

They charged in, unarmed. It was chaos. Lian ripped a demon's claw from its socket and used it like a blade. Boom shoved a torch down one's throat. Jayce kicked one into the fire with a scream of rage.

Melia took a spike to the side protecting a child. Sera took a whip to the face and kept going. The villagers fought back too, with nothing but farming tools and courage.

> • Lian has gained the trait: Doomwalker's Mercy

• Melia has gained a wound that cannot heal — unless a soul equal in worth is offered.

• Boom now hears whispers from the blade he took.

> Your choices are marked. You will not forget them.

Melia lay wrapped in bloodied cloth, teeth clenched in pain. Boom stared into the darkness, humming a broken tune. Jayce hadn't spoken a word in hours. Sera quietly shuffled her deck again. This time she drew The Tower — ruin.

And he already felt the weight of a world pressing down on his back.
