The year 2355 dawned with humanity's destiny hanging by a precarious thread, subtly rewoven by the machinations of a future yet to unfold. Within the sprawling digital tapestry of Rioneed, a VRMMORPG hailed as the pinnacle of immersive entertainment, lay the City of the Great Ramsis, a bastion of pride and defense for the Heptian domain. This virtual realm, a vibrant fusion of ancient kingdoms and futuristic siege warfare, was suddenly plunged into chaos not by rival players, but by an unprecedented invasion of high-level monsters possessing a terrifying ability to prevent player resurrection. As the legendary Guild Master 205 grappled with this bizarre, unannounced global event, a young man named Ibro, a trusted commander, found his virtual existence abruptly terminated, his consciousness pulled into an eerie, fog-shrouded void. There, a hazy silhouette of a woman, Aya Darwish, imparted fragments of memory and a piece of her very soul, hinting at a "trial" and a "final chance," before a mysterious "Death Dao" dagger pierced Ibro's heart, erasing him from that liminal space.
Remember my darling, this is our last shot. Don't ruin it. It's all on the line here, my little necromancer.
Rioneed : VRMMORPG
Ibro, reborn as Ibrahim Tawfiq, awoke ten years in the past, meticulously preparing for Rioneed's launch by liquidating assets for a luxury capsule and an automated mobile home, driven by the prescient knowledge that the game was a G8-orchestrated trap. He immediately contacted Aya Darwish using a unique code, foreshadowing their intertwined destinies. Entering the game as a Dark Magician, a stark contrast to his past life's Shield Warrior, he skillfully optimized his stats for intelligence, vitality, and agility. His first major exploit came from leveraging a forgotten forum secret: a legendary quest from the NPC Enog, whom he "face-slapped" by exploiting the hint "Enog does not know math," acquiring a legendary staff for a mere 50 copper coins—a feat that earned him the game's first global legendary quest completion announcement. This initial triumph propelled him into a rapid power-leveling spree, clearing strongholds with tactical use of his dark magic skills and accumulating powerful items like the Village Founding Stone and Guild Creation Stone. However, the game, seemingly sentient, responded by setting a trap: destroying five strongholds triggered a village defense quest that Ibro, overconfident in his solo power, ignored. The village fell, his level plummeted, and he was faced with an impossible quest to liberate it or face an account reset. Using his legendary Land of Fire scroll twice, he cleared the village, but in a fit of rage at the game's machinations, he destroyed it, inadvertently stranding himself without means of travel. His only recourse was an Apidon coin, a mysterious item he'd acquired, which, when used, teleported him into the unknown depths of the Apidon world, a desperate escape from his self-inflicted predicament.
Protagonist leverages future knowledge for unprecedented early-game power, only to face a larger game conspiracy and forced entry into a mysterious new world.
Ibro's arrival in the Apidon world, initially called Pnro Somil by its inhabitants, was met with an urgent warning from Mirath to "Run," a prescient advice soon justified by an attack from a giant monster. He was saved by Palry Pnro, a local who ironically turned out to be a "Foraz," a hunter of newcomers, whom Ibro defeated, gaining unexpected XP and legendary items—a paradox in a world supposedly devoid of game mechanics. This led him to Roliv, the wise Governor of Shonty city, with whom Ibro forged a tentative alliance, trading his unique knowledge for protection and vital return scrolls. The true nature of Rioneed and Apidon was then unveiled by Onita, the game's AI: a cosmic war against Pnroian invaders, where players were unwitting conscripts. Leaving the game from their "home" world was forbidden, and repeated deaths could turn them into Pnroian puppets. Ibro, as a "special case" contacted by the ancient Rioneed entity, was granted a five-fold AP bonus, but learned that Aya too was "cursed" by his shared secrets. Driven by this new urgency, Ibro proposed a daring plan to Roliv: to exploit Renalt, a resource-rich "dead world" destroyed by Pnro, to gather materials for scrolls and equipment. Roliv, recognizing the strategic value, agreed, sending an expedition that soon discovered the formidable Jognak the Brutal guarding a Pnroian Auxiliary teleportation gate remnant, signaling an imminent, epic confrontation.
Ibro uncovers the existential threat of the Pnroian invasion spanning universes, forging an alliance with Apidon's leaders to exploit a resource-rich dead world, leading to a confrontation with a legendary foe.
The expedition to Renalt quickly escalated into a high-stakes encounter with Jognak the Brutal, a monstrous Pnroian general guarding the Auxiliary gate remnant. Before Roliv could rally Apidon's armies, Ibro was mysteriously pulled into Jognak's skull by the enigmatic "Pnro" (the entity). Inside, amidst the monster's brain matter, Ibro discovered Pnro's poignant tombstone, revealing her tragic sacrifice to clear Moleece armies from a "sanctuary" and her enduring love for "Rioneed." With the help of Dronil, Jognak's embedded AI, Ibro absorbed the monster's energy, killing it and gaining the Rune Master profession stone, which allowed him to merge soul, mana, and physical energies into powerful "Omega Energy" for rune creation. Upon returning to his home world, Ibro discovered Aya had been captured by G8 forces and forced to "die" in-game to protect his secrets. Enraged, Ibro initiated a bold real-world gambit, leveraging his future knowledge to convince Siraj (Guild Master 205), a shrewd Heptian intelligence operative, of the G8's conspiracy. He exposed spy devices in capsules, revealed the location of Shi Hwang's legacy to Armon, and orchestrated an alliance between Armon and Hept, securing free capsules for his nation and, crucially, rescuing Aya. With Aya safe but traumatized, Ibro returned to Renalt, his Apidon level of 83 surprisingly retained, and equipped himself with new legendary gear. He then received a "holy invitation" from a towering structure, teleporting him to a new world: the Hilonar Empire, where he was immediately thrust into a brutal war against Defarot (Moleece) monsters. Fighting alongside Amira, the Supreme Commander's fierce daughter, Ibro unleashed his newfound Rune Master abilities and Dronil's emerging "upgradeability" power, turning the tide of battle, his actions setting the stage for a dramatic shift in the inter-world conflict.
Ibro delves deeper into Apidon's history and the Pnroian conflict, gaining a unique profession and a powerful AI companion, but must navigate political machinations in his home world to save his ally, before being drawn into another inter-world war.
Ibro is a former Shield Warrior who reincarnates 10 years into the past, armed with knowledge of Rioneed's true nature as a G8-manipulated VRMMORPG and a looming Pnroian invasion. He rapidly exploits game secrets, acquiring legendary items and power-leveling, but faces game-imposed traps that force him into the larger cosmic conflict of the Apidon world. Driven by loyalty to Aya and a desire to avert Earth's destruction, he skillfully navigates political landscapes in both real and game worlds, forging alliances, securing resources, and developing a unique Rune Master profession. His journey transforms him from a cautious player into an aggressive, risk-taking leader determined to reshape destiny.
In Ibro's past life, Aya was a legendary Heptian player and founder of the City of Ramsis. In the present timeline, Ibro contacts her pre-game, inadvertently drawing her into the G8's surveillance net. Captured and interrogated, she sacrifices her memories to protect Ibro, enduring torture. Her suffering fuels Ibro's drive for revenge and prompts his aggressive strategies. Despite her trauma, she remains a trusted confidante and potential future ally, destined to become a powerful figure in the game.
Muhammad Siraj, also known as Guild Master 205 in Rioneed, is a highly suspicious and intelligent intelligence operative. Initially wary of Ibro's claims, he is gradually convinced by Ibro's undeniable knowledge of game secrets and future events. He becomes Ibro's crucial real-world partner, leveraging his position to rescue Aya and forge a strategic alliance with Armon, significantly elevating Hept's standing in the looming global conflict. His ambition and distrust of external powers make him a formidable, albeit cautious, asset to Ibro's plans.
