Nirvana Courtyard Market

Once, Oliver was just an ordinary student in a small American town. But one fateful afternoon, while browsing a second-hand market, he touched an ancient, otherworldly book. When he awoke, he found himself transported to a time before the creation of the world, reborn as an ancient serpent amidst chaos—complete with a system interface that leveled him up like a game. In this primordial era, the gods had not yet been born, humanity was but a distant possibility, the war between dragons and titans loomed on the horizon, and the twilight of the gods was an unspoken prophecy. The golden empire of Rome was still an unimaginable dream. It was in this vast, untamed world that Oliver discovered the truth—if he did not grow stronger, his fate was sealed. The Creator’s myths, the clash of dragons and titans, and the apocalypse of Ragnarok would inevitably lead to his destruction. Faced with such a grim reality, Oliver made a fateful decision: he would devour everything, ascend to unimaginable heights, and carve his own destiny. His legend begins with countless transformations, yet his presence endures through them all. ... At the end of the world, there were those who saw him and revered him as the serpent that encircles the world—Jörmungandr. From the depths of hell, others gazed upon him and called him Satan. Even the gods themselves worshiped him, recognizing him as the ancestor of titans and dragons—Typhon. He was the catalyst for the Golden Dynasty, the terror of mortals and gods alike, a harbinger of chaos and the bringer of eternity.
