Veyne came from the life of sewer rats.
The world saw him as a failure. He called it belief. Others called it stupidity. Either way, it was the only thing he had left.
Even at rock bottom, Veyne never stopped believing in himself.
Betrayed by his lover and brother, treated as a burden, and forced to slave endlessly in the game to chase his dream—he endured it all.
Though late, his obsession was finally rewarded with an opportunity. But the sewer rat in him was too weak to hold onto it. He had fought the world and lost.
Actions have consequences. And when he failed in the game, those consequences caught up to him, leading to his death.
But the universe wasn’t done with him yet.
Given a second chance, he returned to a time when the game had already been out for two years. This time, he rushed to obtain the Template Wilder class—the very class that led to his downfall.
One of the game’s rarest hidden classes, the Wilder class, allowed him to switch into different forms based on the monster templates he possessed. An overpowered ability—but it came with a fatal catch.
A hidden template forced him into the form of an ancient baby creature, one so cursed that players, monsters, and even NPCs would hunt him down. If he died in that form, his character would be permanently deleted.
In his past life, he underestimated the class’s dangers. And the world tore him apart for it.
This time, it wouldn’t be just hollow belief.
This time, he’s not here to survive—he’s here to dominate.
No emotional ties.
 No second chances.
 The entire game is his enemy, and he will crush anyone who stands in his way.
He failed once. He suffered. He died. He was erased.
Not this time.
This is the beginning of his legend. The era of Veyne Draven.

As Veyne lay inside his new gaming pod, the green light scanned his whole body as a notification popped up in front of him.


[User registration confirmed. Logging in...]


 A weightless sensation pulled at him, and he found himself floating in darkness.


Then, two massive AAs appeared in front of him, glowing with a golden hue.


 The next moment, a bright light engulfed him, and he opened his eyes inside the guild office, surrounded by an empty potion bottle.


He didn't even get a moment of rest before multiple notifications popped in front of him.


[Extreme mana use detected. Special mana flow created.]


[Congratulations, player Forsyx. Your struggle has borne fruit, and you have managed to create a new form of mana use. New mana skill created.]


[Player Forsyx has learned the new Mana Phantom Mirage skill.]


After the initial few messages, there it was—the golden notification.
