Earth in the year 2124 A.D. was invaded by the army of hell called the devil's army, Humans were given power by the wargods temple to fight against them, at the start humans were able to push back the devils to a stalemate but Earth suffered severe losses. All the civilizations build in the earth were destroyed and a single fortress stood in the middle of earth called 'SHIELD' the last hope of humanity, as the fight went on the humans got weaker and devil's got stronger, the devil's got stronger by consuming body and souls of the humans and evolved into next stage, for the same reason they were also given another name 'The soul eaters'.

After 2 years only several thousand humans remain and one of the devil had evolved into the devil king and has an ability related to physique.
While fighting the devil king who has invaded earth with the devil army, Jack blade a tire lV sword master am useless because all my attacks do negligible damage to the devil's body due to his high resistance to physical damage, he have killed many of the devil's army but in this fight being a physical damage dealer he is standing on the back line, looking at the top player of Elysium online who is a tire lV spirit magic user, his attacks directly hits the core bypassing devil's tough body, Jack was also a top ranked player, but now with minimal magical capability he is standing at the backline while thinking about the past.

Elysium Online is not any game it is a game created by gods to give humanity a chance to save themselves from the devil's attack.

One day suddenly a meteor twice the size of earth was seen in the sky and everyone was given a chance to awaken their abilities everything started from there...

Suddenly the spirit magic user named Alex was hit by the devil's attack and slowly the slight advantage humans had was turned to a disadvantage as Alex could not suppress the devil named dagon and the devil went on full assault to finish Alex and other frontliners, his attacks pushed back most of them. Seeing the dire conditions I decided to risk my life. I was but a small bug for the devil who is a tire V devil king but I will not let my friend die, I lunged forward and attacked the devil with my trusted sword and blocked the devil's attack while hoping for a backup attack from my friends but Alex gave order to fallback and said while smirking.

"At least you are good as a sacrifice, go die", Alex said.

"Why? Just because I didn't give you an epic item, or now you have no use for me. All the things that I gave you? Did you forget that you can use spirit magic because I gave my chance to you?" Jack grimaced.

I was a martial artist who used a sword even before the apocalypse, so I chose the same path, but one day inside Elysium an oracle came and said you have a great affinity for spirit magic and gave me a faction pass that could be used to enter the spirit faction but I rejected it, but Alex who was with me at that time wanted it and asked me for it and I gave it as I was not going to use it, seeing this the oracle smiled as if she knew this would happen and handed me another item and said keep it with you every time, from that time till now I still had it in my inventory and it only shows ??? When inspected.
The devil who was attacking me with his sword couldn't breach my defense and started creating a spell in one hand and defending with his sword in the other, his physique made him ignore my attacks.
I took the chance and removed that item, it was a circular object with intricate patterns and numbers, after removing it started glowing for the first time since I got it and the numbers started rotating, I inspected it again.

Seed of rebirth ( tire lX)
???
???
Do you wish to use it? Y/N

While doing this the devil's spell formation was completed, and he attacked me with his spell, I quickly activated my defensive skill and tried to move away from the attack but I still got hit.

"Hellfire annihilation"

"Defensive armament"

Boom boom...

With a loud bang I was blasted out on the closeby ruins. The spell used by devil was a tire five and the skill I used was tire three, The outcome was as expected and my hp was rapidly draining, before my hp dropped to zero I pressed yes.

The seed expanded and wrapped around me and I disappeared into thin air.

The seed used its power to teleport me to the start of the apocalypse and then fused with my soul.

"I'm back",
When I woke up I was back in the past on my bed as a 17-year-old boy.
I got up and checked my phone,
21st January 2121, just 3 days before the meteor appeared.

"This time I know that the devils are not the only threat the factions and the humans also back stab you even if you help them. I know all the major events and I will reap all the benefits I can."
"I will be the villain that even the devils will fear" Jack said while his lips curved up while grinning and thinking about the future events. "

Let's make notes learning spirit magic, .....jack was mumbling while he took a pen and a book and made note of all important events and made a plan.
Jack was an orphan and a tutor at the dojo, at the age of 10 he learned martial arts for self-defense but the dojo master said he was talented and started training him using different weapons, of all weapons he liked sword the most, and then he also became a tutor at the same dojo.

When he came back from Elysium online to Earth he scanned his sword using inspect skill, and he was surprised, It was a bronze-ranked weapon, although he had a much stronger weapon at that time, At the beginning of the game if he had that sword his progress would have been much simpler in the tutorial, he made a plan to capitalize on this information and started his preparations.
