"Cole, don't think you're impressive just because you've got a little money. Do you think giving me cash is helping me? You're insulting my dignity!"The searing pain hadn't even faded when memories came flooding back like a tidal wave.I... was reborn?Cole stared at the girl before him. She looked innocent and pretty, but her chin was lifted with arrogance.Sera Kane.The woman who had consumed most of his life. His greatest love.At least... she used to be.He had been obsessed with her, crazed for her, his heart and soul devoted to her.That wasn't an exaggeration. Everyone at Nyxon High knew: Cole was a rich, love-struck fool.Sera's family was poor, so Cole paid for her tuition. Whatever she wanted to eat or wear—no matter the price—he bought it for her without a second thought. He turned Sera, once a struggling student who could barely cover her school fees, into a pampered princess living far more lavishly than most.Then the virtual reality game Doomsday launched.S

With a racing heart and trembling hands, Cole reached out toward the golden button—and slammed it down.[Please enter the amount you wish to recharge: __]Cole didn't hesitate for a second.Max it out.He had to max it out.Right now, his account held the 200 million from selling his shares, plus another five million from mortgaging his expensive villa. Add in his existing savings, that made 220 million total.The exchange rate was one to one. That meant, in the end, he would have 220 million gold coins in hand.If anyone found out he was dumping all that money into a game, they'd call him insane without a second thought.But Cole knew this was a sure thing. A no-brainer. A gift from heaven.Because in three days, when Doomsday launched its open beta and merged with reality, the value of gold would skyrocket.The exchange rate would jump to ten-to-one.And that "one" referred to gold.Once the recharge went through, his 220 million gold would be worth 2.2 billion in real cu

Cole watched the Archmage—who moments ago had been so proud and haughty, now trembling with excitement—and couldn't help but feel a little wistful.Money makes the world go round. The saying didn't lie.Normally, you'd have to grind through dozens of quests and reach level one hundred just to unlock access to the Supreme Sanctum. But money paved the way.The price, however, was steep.Just the entry fee alone cost half a million gold.The Archmage swept his sleeve, and the 500 thousand gold vanished into it. His old face crumpled into a smile like a blooming flower."Esteemed guest, the War God Hall on the top floor is now open for you. Go on up—the keeper there will receive you."Having an elderly man in his seventies stare at him with such fiery passion made Cole's skin crawl."Hey, Sir. I have to say... I kind of preferred you when you were all arrogant and defiant. Mind switching back?"The Archmage immediately wiped the smile off his face. His gaze turned deep as an abyss

But before SlickRod and CockyGiant could ask anything else, Cole and Melz were already gone. The two exchanged a glance, both clearly buzzing with excitement."Supreme Sanctum. I remember now. In the center of the beginner village's plaza, that towering building—that's got to be it, right?"CockyGiant smacked his forehead. Out of habit, whenever he started a new game, he always explored the beginner village first, hunting for hidden quests. He knew the layout like the back of his hand.SlickRod nodded. "That's got to be it. So this is the game's hidden mechanic. Grinding alone is a nightmare, but drop some gold, and you take off.""Makes sense. These greedy devs really know how to squeeze money out of players. Absolute scumbags." CockyGiant grumbled.After all that time grinding, swinging his axe until it practically smoked, he'd only filled up a third of his experience bar.Screw the devs. They didn't do honest work."Come on. Let's go. I'm getting one of those helpers. Time to

And when everything was fixed, that 'Darkcole' guy might as well wait for his ban.However, what they didn't know was that in Doomsday, there was no such thing as a bug.Because this wasn't just a game. It was a real, second world....Cole wasn't surprised by the activation of the level rankings.In his previous life, the leaderboard had also only unlocked after someone reached Level 10, but that had been after the open beta launched.During the beta phase back then, the highest level anyone had reached was only Level 8.What he didn't know now was whether unlocking the rankings this early—within a single day—would yield any different rewards.Cole equipped his newly earned title.[Title | Blasting Off (Epic): As the first player to reach Lv10, your strength has earned the recognition of the God of Light. EXP Gain +5%.]'An experience-boosting title. Epic rarity, too. Not bad.'Cole grinned.In Doomsday, all items, titles, and equipment were categorized by tiers:Black Ir
