Arcane Weapon Online

Malachi was a gamer who spent most of his time in front of his computer. He enjoyed all kinds of games—adventure quests, role-playing journeys, strategy battles, simulations, fantasy worlds, and action-packed realms filled with magic and mystery. When he participated in a company’s beta version of a new game from ArcanePixel, a studio known for producing massive worldwide games, he didn’t hesitate. The offer alone was too good to ignore, especially since it promised cash rewards for every participant. During the briefing, the company explained that this wasn’t just an ordinary game. They were testing something revolutionary before its global release. Instead of using a controller, console, or computer, players would wear a special VR headset that connected directly to their minds. Their consciousness would enter the game world, allowing them to experience everything as vividly as real life. But there was a warning. Once inside, players wouldn’t be able to leave until the final boss was defeated or until the game officially ended. Until that moment, their bodies would remain asleep in the real world while their minds stayed inside the game. Malachi wasn’t the only one who accepted the offer. Hundreds of gamers also participated. Each player received an Arcane Weapon, a unique weapon forged from the material essence of magical creatures. To grow stronger, they would need to complete quests, slay monsters and bosses, and prepare themselves for the ultimate challenge. The game was also filled with special events designed to push Malachi and the others to their limits. Duels, party battles, trials, guild wars, and more tested their skills, teamwork, and survival instincts. Only the strongest would rise above the rest. Players who defeated the most bosses and earned the highest achievements would claim the greatest rewards.

Maestro of the Void

Humanity will never forget that cursed day. The day the Inversion Epoch began—when the sky tore open with massive rifts and monstrous creatures spilled out like nightmares made real. These things, these twisted abominations, didn’t defeat humanity with claws or teeth… but with something absurd. A broken song. A cacophony so warped and wrong that half the world went mad just hearing it. But before humanity collapsed into despair, a miracle happened—something that pushed the darkness back. Awakeners. Children, barely fifteen, suddenly manifested strings of sound woven from pure emotion. Kids with abilities so strange and terrifying they could slaughter the invaders with ease. They were protected, trained, revered. They grew stronger. And for the first time, humanity struck back. Five hundred years later… Technology advanced. Humanity reached its peak. Elias was just an ordinary-looking boy, destined to remain unawakened. And in this shitty world, “unawakened” was just a nicer way of saying trash. Cannon fodder. And Elias learned that brutally. His girlfriend dumped him for his bestfriend right after the bastard awakened. Classic troupe right, until it happens to you! His childhood friend was taken by the government minutes after her awakening, praised across every news network as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy. And he watched his parents lose their minds to the monsters, completely powerless to stop it. So Elias got pissed. Furious at the world, at fate, at everything. He lifted his head to the sky and screamed: “Fuck you, fate! You sadistic asshole!” And a god heard him. A god amused by a petty, foul-mouthed boy who refused to bow. The god offered him a deal: I will give you my domain, in exchange for one wish. And that day, the Maestro of the Void was born— A being who devours abilities… and makes them his own. However, that kind of power came with a teeny tiny drawback…
