Chronicle Of Darkness: The Evil Player Ascension

Intro

Daemon was a genius player who became a ranker in all of the videogames he played, earning a lot of money and fame as a result.

Nonetheless, even three years after the game's release, he found it difficult to become a ranker in one VR MMO.

He was devastated; most of the time, he became enraged and refused to play the game for a week, but he always returns to it after a day.

But one day, he discovered something that shocked him.

His experience was cut in half!

Every time he completed a mission, raided a dungeon, or even killed another player, his experience was always halfed.

He is currently a level 186 player, while the top ranker was only 377.

He would have been the top ranker by now if his score hadn't been halfed.

He decided to report the bug to the game programmers after discovering it, but who knew they were even aware of it?

They apologized to him and even agreed to pay him $30 million to resolve the issue and restart the game by deleting the previous account he used.

Is it three years after the game, when most players have reached Level 300+, that they want him to restart? Daemon flew into a rage because it was so bad.

He began killing other players and collaborated with the evil NPCs to take their lives as well.

This resulted in a loss for the game company because most players who died had to leave the game and no longer play it, reducing their income.

Furious, the game's programmers began creating powerful non-player characters to make Daemon life inside the game world a living hell.

Presently_

A large dragon known as the inferno dragon of destruction, a calamity Level boss of the game, and a level 200+ Daemon were fighting for their lives in a vast mountainous grassland.

Among the newly programmed characters sent after Daemon is the inferno dragon (Level 370).

How can a powerful dragon, a calamity boss, exist in the absence of a dungeon?

Not only that, but it was devoid of his own troops.

"The game programmers sent you after my life in the game again, huh?" I'll tell the world how evil they are after I kill you."

They have not only created evil characters, but they have also issued an event in which players must go solo in everything they do.

That meant no one, not even his guildmates, could assist him.

As long as you are the one who triggered the NPC's aggro, you must fight it alone.

Daemon found it extremely difficult to kill the dragon, even with all of his strength and magic skills.

[Dragon has used the skill "Giver," increasing all attacks by 400%]

Consider the 400% increase in attack he deals to Daemon.

Immediately after using the skill, the gigantic flapped its wings, creating an inferno ball with great force and power that pushed Daemon back.

[The skill "Mini Sun" was used.]

The inferno ball blasted through the air like a missile, changing direction and chasing Daemon until his endurance stats ran out and he was struck with tiredness, causing his leg to lose the strength to continue carrying him.

He was blasted by the inferno ball.

Even with all of his gear and a high defensive stat, Daemon's in-game body was splattered into countless pieces and instantly burned.

[You have passed away.]

When he exited the game, his consciousness entered the real world.

"Those cretins went too far this time."

Daemon went to his Filagram account, which has 10.7 million followers, and his KinTube channel, which has 2 million subscribers.

He shared his experience with his I*******m followers, and in just three minutes, more than 100k people had viewed it.

He was about to do the same on KinTube when he heard a loud gunshot and turned to see his vision obscured by his own blood.

He recognized the assailant only to discover she was his girlfriend.

Nonetheless, he came across a young man who was also pointing a gun at her head.

He was his closest companion.

Pa~

Another gunshot rang out.

When it sounded like his girlfriend was going to die, Daemon was surprised.

He was bleeding profusely from the back of his head.

His death was instantaneous due to the amount of blood lost.

He couldn't tell if his friend was on his side or against him... in the void.

[Host discovered.]

[The host has died.]

[The reincarnation sequence has begun.]

[Reincarnation finished]

[The Evil Cultivation system is activated.]

[Connection to host established.]

[Connection established. 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧!]

Inside a stunningly beautiful and well-designed room.

Cough*

Cough*

"Isn't this my room from before DOMAIN was launched? I've reincarnated, and those bastards programmers and that bitchy girlfriend will undoubtedly pay for what they've done to me."

This was Daemon's first thought after reincarnating.

He had read a few reincarnation novels, so he wasn't surprised that he had reincarnated.

It's a good thing he reincarnated because now he'll be able to successfully exact his revenge on those who have wronged him, and he'll almost certainly be the top ranker this time.

[𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧]

He saw a window and heard a robotic voice that sounded exactly like the one he was used to hearing in VR games, but why is there one here with him?

He was surprised, but he also expected something positive to happen.

"Welcome, are you a system?"

[Correcthost. [I am the Evil Cultivation system from the future.]

"Is this the future?"

[Yes, light years in the future, my creator chose you as the only person from the present who will appreciate his creation, which was triggered by the ancient times of cultivation.]

"Interesting; I assume your creator is an otaku."

[Correct.]

"Could you tell me who he is and, if possible, show me a picture of him?"

[That information is locked until you reach a predetermined Level.]

"Oh, that's fantastic!" His demeanor was sarcastic.

"So, what are you going to do for me?"

[Become stronger in-game by cultivating; all strength gained in-game will be used in the real world as well.]

Daemon asked the system several questions to clarify his own System.

Quest description: Meditate for one hour.

Penalty: You won't be able to reach Quest 2.

'Meditate? That isn't a difficult task.'

He has read many cultivation novels and is well-versed in the meditation process.

He sat in a lotus position, closed his eyes, and made sure he was calm, with his hands spread across both laps.

Unknowingly, as he was doing so, a system window has appeared in front of his body.

"Through this Domain programmers will suffer great loss, hahaha, great work system, why don't I call you Demon, pretty nice name, huh?"

[Demon registered as name]

'Nice, now it's time to start playing.'

He took the game helmet from the glass box and put it on.

The journey of the player who defied the rules of the game has begun.
