At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer struggling to make ends meet. On the day his wife dumps him, he receives a mysterious piece of wetware — a game interface implanted in his brain that allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player.

Reincarnating as a demonic lump of flesh would probably be a nasty shock to most people, but Pyre has always been good at rolling with the punches. Sure, something is blocking her soul and most of her memories, and the world she was reincarnated into is barely surviving off the blood of dead titans — but she is not worried. She is just here to level, devour, and get stronger. All of that has got nothing to do with her. Until it does.

Seth was just a commoner from the outskirts, someone who could only dream of the Wielders' world — a realm of Ranks, attributes, and spells forever beyond his reach. Until the day he awakened as a Primalist. To escape a life of misery, Seth enrolls in one of the nation's elite academies, only to find himself stepping into a society rotting with injustice. Equality of chances is a lie; power is inherited, not earned. Fortunately, his new class feeds on danger rather than privilege: the riskier the hunt, the greater the gain. To rise, Seth must abandon caution and seek fights where survival is never guaranteed — and become the strongest predator the wild has ever seen.

He was the world's richest man — islands, armies, a fortune that could buy nations.

He is destined to be cannon fodder, or worse, a test subject for the sect's alchemy experiments. But fate left him one parting gift: a System called Absolute Mastery, where every repetition increases proficiency, ignoring talent and bottlenecks entirely. While geniuses meditate for years to gain a sliver of power, Kael just has to grind. They call him trash. He calls them XP.

Power of friendship? Getting stronger when enraged? A powerful monster sealed inside you by your father? That wasn't me. I was the arrogant youngster who got punched in the first panels of the shounen manga I was reading. I wouldn't have even remembered his name — if I wasn't stuck in his body.

Deciding not to stay, he uses his newfound dimensional abilities to escape, stealing centuries' worth of illegal magical experimentation on his way out. In a world where resurrection magic makes death a mere suggestion for the upper class, Asher discovers his stolen power can ensure anything that dies by his hand stays dead permanently.

Most won't stop until they have it, unless Asher can get to them first.

Without warning, humanity in its entirety was suddenly moved to another dimension. This new world, for all its gifts of wondrous abilities, was a stadium — a deadly arena of unimaginable scale. Every man, woman, and child was given a weapon and ordered to fight. Only two options existed: complete the many trials ahead, or perish. Billions of lives were extinguished in mere moments. But even within this abyss of despair, one small ray of hope existed: if even one person could complete every raid, humanity would be redeemed and restored. No save points, no revives, no retries. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules.
