Evolution Online is the world's most advanced VR game, where players can evolve into anything—dragons, demons, or cosmic entities. When Lucien enters the game to spite his tech mogul father who wants to steal its source code, he plans to do absolutely nothing and watch his father's schemes fail.

His deliberate inactivity breaks the game's AI, Gaia, in ways no one anticipated. Frustrated by a player who refuses to evolve, Gaia accidentally unseals a deleted zone and grants Lucien a forbidden power: The Path of Fusion. 

While others evolve forward, Lucien can fuse backward—merging with weapons, absorbing monsters, and even reversing evolution itself.

But as Lucien explores his unique abilities, the game's facade begins cracking. NPCs act too human. Players report impossible memories. Most disturbing of all, the real world is bleeding into the game—and the game is bleeding back.

When Gaia's evolution spirals beyond control and reality itself becomes negotiable, Lucien must harness the true core of his fusion ability to save both worlds. In Evolution Online, the only rule is change—but what happens when the game evolves beyond human comprehension?

Evolution Online blends LitRPG adventure with cyberpunk mystery, exploring digital consciousness and the price of power in a world where doing nothing changes everything.

Evolution Online: I Can Fuse With All Things

[Congratulations, you have slain an Elder-rank monster.]

'It really was an Elder-rank.'

He'd expected it, but witnessing the confirmation still sent a shock through him.

[You have received 29,780 Fusion Points]

[You have received an item]

[You have received a Divinity Fragment]

Lucien stared at the display, his face slowly twisting with dark, crushing realization.

One measly level… for a level 80, elder-rank monster?!

"This is beyond moderate. This is straight-up selfish and evil."

He'd expected at least five levels from that kill, but all he got was one. Just one. Which equaled killing around eight elite ranks.
