Year 2035. A groundbreaking game—"Glory Lords: Arcane War"—takes the world by storm.

With cutting-edge VR immersion, players can feel the pulse of magic, the tremors of battle, and the weight of every decision. But more than just a game, it becomes the ultimate stage for global esports. Elite teams rise, billion-dollar prize pools emerge, and the entire world is swept into the frenzy.

But for Ethan Parker, this isn’t just a game. It’s a gamble with fate itself.

Las Vegas. Midnight. A secret high-stakes game.

On the table lies the world’s only Legendary-tier artifact—the Stone of Glory.

Its value? Far beyond a billion dollars. Because hidden within it is a secret—one that can rewrite the very rules of reality.

Ethan bets everything. And loses.

In that moment, he doesn’t just lose the artifact—he loses his future.

Then, the world changes.

The game and reality merge.

Earth is no longer the world it once was. Society collapses, replaced by a brutal new order where a person’s rank in "Glory Lords: Arcane War" determines their status in real life. 

The strongest players become kings.

The weakest? Slaves.

And the one who won the Stone of Glory—Griffin Musk—rises to absolute power, ruling over this new world as its supreme leader.

As for Ethan? Once the #1 player in the world, he loses everything—his account, his status, his freedom. Reduced to the lowest class, he suffers, tortured until his final breath.

But now—he’s back.

Reborn with the memories of his past life, he returns to the moment it all began.

This time, he wins the gamble.

This time, he won’t let the world fall into Griffin’s hands.

But fate has more in store for him…

When he logs into the game, he realizes something is off.

Not only is he the first player in the world to own private territory, but he also acquires something unheard of—the only Legendary-tier unit in existence: the Green Dragon.

And then—something even more shocking.

These two Green Dragons aren’t just powerful units. They’re heroes. With growth potential and combat abilities surpassing even top-tier players, they have the power to change the course of the entire game.

At that moment, Ethan knows—his path to the top has begun.

But the real world isn’t done with him yet.

Governments, military forces, corporate giants, secret organizations—and even Griffin himself—are now watching his every move.

This time, it’s not just about revenge.

This time, he’s taking control of the future.

The war of heroes has only just begun…

From the sky not far off, a deafening roar cracked through the air.


And then, just like that, a figure appeared—suspended between heaven and earth.


The moment he showed up, a wave of wild, chaotic energy exploded outward from him. It was overwhelming—terrifying.


But what was even more disturbing was what happened next.


The Adamant Essence—those powerful, elemental forces that had been stable just moments ago—suddenly went berserk, like they were being summoned by something.


In an instant, they spiraled out of control.


It was like they were trying to tear free from this world altogether.


"…What the hell?" Ethan frowned, floating midair as he looked up.


The figure in the sky looked like a man in his twenties or thirties—or more accurately, a young Skyfiend.


He just stood there, but his presence was like a black hole—dark, oppressive, and impossibly powerful.
