For eons, the world had endured 6 different resets—known as 'Calamities'. Each calamity introduced a completely new power system while eradicating the previous one as if it never existed in the first place. 

*****

In the modern world, a virtual reality game — 'The Seven Calamities' took over the world with its release. 

With its intricate and complex worlds that followed a variety of power systems, became a common ground for the whole world. 

Kai Evernox was a 17-year-old orphan who struggled to make his living through the ways of Scavenger in the game. He, just like any other player, awaited the next and the final update of the game—The Seventh Calamity. 

Just a night before the update, a mysterious old man who claimed to be the creator of the game called in a press conference.

"All that you thought as a mere fantasy, all of it was true. The Seventh Calamity will be the End. And the only one who can stop it from happening is you, my friend." 

With that said, the old man perished away into particles of light, leaving the world stunned as system windows popped up in front of all human lives. 

The world fell into havoc, while a grin crept onto Kai's face as his memories returned. 

Now the question begs to be answered...

Which path will the Primordial Villain—The Survivor Of 6 Worlds—choose?

it's not a VRMMO or Litrpg story. just that the start of it somewhat resonates with those genres.
