Adyr, once a notorious serial killer, met a brutal end and welcomed death as the final judgment for his sins.

But he awoke in a parallel Earth, where the rich alter their genes and superhumans are the norm.

Believing some unknown force had given him a second chance, Adyr buried the monster within and chose a quiet, normal life.

For eighteen years, he lived in poverty with his family, suppressing his urges and forcing himself to be human.

Until the day he entered a new VRMMORPG.

A game that doesn’t just alter virtual stats but mutates real genes and pushes players toward evolution.

While every player chose from four known Paths, Adyr was given a fifth. One that no one had seen before. And with each evolution, the bloodlust he had buried returned, turning him back into the villain he once was. The kind that made even gods afraid to speak his name.

At the heart of the Deep, a vast crown of stone once rose where gods idled and eternity loosened its grip. Not a hall for amusement, but a bastion built to bear the weight of time and what lies beyond.


Now it sleeps as a forgotten monument, waking once per Cycle to drink power, weigh the daring, and leave a single reward in their path.


"Another round of trials and rewards is available. Nice."


He could now attempt the trials again, with a total reward of 300 free stat points, a Rank 3 Spark, and one more Synergy Crystal.


Even though the Rank 3 Spark had a high chance of being something he would not need, he could still sell it for a good price, since Sparks earned from the Tower were always high quality and quite rare. As for the Synergy Crystal, he already had two unused ones, but they were priceless resources he would eventually need.
