VR: My skills are getting weirder
Once upon a time—okay, more like Tuesday—Earth had a problem.
Specifically, the kind of problem that comes with teeth, shadows, and a complete disregard for physics.
They called it The Darkness.
It showed up one day, wrecked the planet like it was a tutorial zone, and left humanity with two options: die screaming or die slightly later.
That’s when a Supreme Being—possibly bored, possibly drunk on starlight—took pity on humanity and said:
[“Alright, alright. You guys suck at surviving. Let’s try this again.”]
With a snap (probably), the last remnants of mankind were transported to a new world:
Celestara—a magical realm with floating continents, talking crystals, and suspiciously cute monsters that will absolutely kill you if you blink wrong.
Here, humans can awaken magical Jobs, unlock hidden Talents, and level up using a divine system called Vaelwyn—basically fantasy’s version of patch notes and grind culture.
It’s like someone made life into a video game.
Because... they did
[Six hundred year later]
And then there’s Kael Virean—a guy from a perfectly normal parallel Earth, where the biggest threat to humanity was bad Wi-Fi and overpriced DLCs. He also happened to be a VR game world champion, the kind of player who dodged boss attacks in his sleep.
One day, he opened his eyes… and found himself transmigrated to Celestara—in the body of an 18-year-old boy, just moments away from his Awakening.
Whatever that means.
