A mysterious VR game company has unleashed a revolutionary MMORPG, Ascension of Souls, a game so advanced it threatens to blur the line between reality and fiction. Marketed as a groundbreaking innovation, it promised to change the world—but for Leo, it’s far more than just a game.

It’s his only hope for survival.

Thrown into an expansive, ever-shifting world, Leo fights alongside a growing circle of powerful allies—each with their own ambitions, rivalries, and hidden pasts. Like them, he can level up, grow stronger, and carve his path through a world where strength is everything. But unlike anyone else, he possesses a pair of mysterious bracelets, a power seemingly tied to him alone, unlocking fragmented memories of a past he doesn’t remember.

As whispers of forgotten legends surface and unseen forces pull the strings behind the game’s mechanics, Leo realizes that survival isn’t just about leveling up—it’s about unraveling a truth buried deep within the game itself.

But uncovering the truth comes at a cost—one that could rewrite everything he knows

That was the thought that lingered in Horo's mind as he charged at the beast head on. In response the beast let out another thunderous roar as it swung its weapon in a brutal horizontal sweep. 


A small smirk was on Horo's face as he ducked down. A moment later an arm was lazily flying through the air, unhindered and unattached. 


'Hahahaha~! Brave Child~! Offer your flesh to claim it's bones' 


Leo called out in shock seeing his companion so heavily wounded. Horo merely grunted in pain as violet blood oozed from the stump of what was once his arm. Closing the distance, he slammed the stump against the body of the beast. 


Tetsukiba let out a confused grunt as Horo kept close to it while dragging his stump against it's body. However the acrid stench of poison filled it's lungs followed by the unique sound of metal melting reached its ears.
