Jiang Shen was the 4th-ranked player in God’s Game—a revolutionary MMORPG where NPCs lived, fought, and schemed like real people. But when he wakes up inside the game, he’s not some overpowered protagonist… he’s the villain.
As the Second Young Master of the Jiang Family, a once-powerful clan fated for destruction, Jiang realizes he’s in the pre-apocalypse era—before Nether Cracks tear open the skies and demons flood the world. In the future, his entire family will be wiped out, and players will loot his corpse like any other mob.
But he refuses to be just another casualty.
Yet surviving won’t be so simple. The body he now inhabits has already set dark schemes into motion. When a trembling junior disciple confesses that she’s poisoned his rival’s tea… at his command, Jiang realizes he’s not just fighting fate—he’s fighting the villain’s past as well.
With an Assimilation Rate slowly consuming his mind, Jiang must decide—will he play the villain to survive, or will he defy fate and change the future before the apocalypse begins?
