Dante is a dead man walking. Diagnosed with terminal cancer and flat broke, he volunteers for a medical experiment inside Archeon, a massive virtual reality game.
It was supposed to be hospice care. A quiet place to wait for the end.
Then, he broke the game.
During character creation, Dante stumbles into the "Lost Sanctuary." Dante recognizes it. It's a carbon copy of an obscure indie game he speedran for years.
Leveraging meta-knowledge to exploit every trap and puzzle, he achieves a perfect clear and triggers a system mutation, unlocking a unique, game-breaking class: The Bloodsovereign Mage.
The class comes with a passive ability that shouldn't exist: Infinite Scaling.
While his real-world body withers in a medical pod, his in-game vitality is growing faster than the Interstellar Federation's national debt.
He was prepared to welcome death. Instead, he became an existence that surpassed the gods.
Now, God-tier monsters strike him with world-ending spells only to see his health bar barely flicker.
Megacorps and rival guilds scramble to stop him, but they are facing an existence more powerful than a god. And really, what else can they do?
