A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships

The year is 2122 Where wealth is owned by a few With technology and AI Causing our Jobs to die. With past protests and a failed coup Comes compromise anew With the introduction of UBI Allows them our allegiance to buy. As we all start to despair Decadence prevents social repair Though one from a powerful bloodline Created Dynasties Online. Where players create a dynasty Allowing those born in modesty A chance to be called your majesty Though for some, this was a Travesty. As we all take part in the constant conflict Some powerful people thought they were tricked And later lamented at their initial despise Failing to stop the game’s rise. As the unemployed play the game All with their own aims While some fight for their own fame A Kingdom I will claim. Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in dynasties online. Please read the author’s note before you start reading the novel.

Edward Blake never imagined that death would be the least of his worries. When a tragic accident thrusts him into the pages of Obsidian Chronicles, a manhwa he barely remembered reading, he wakes up as Edward Arclight, the disgraced Duke of a crumbling estate in the mighty Aurelis Empire. Once a powerful family that shaped the empire’s history, the Arclights now hold nothing but a hollow title and a barren land plagued by unrest and debt. The world Edward finds himself in is one of magic intertwined with relics of advanced technology. After an apocalypse a thousand years ago shattered civilization, humanity rebuilt from the ashes, blending ancient tech with powerful magic to forge kingdoms and empires. Yet this fragile society now faces a growing threat—the return of the Demon King, a malevolent being sealed away by ancient heroes during the apocalypse but never truly defeated. Edward’s headache intensifies when he realizes the manhwa’s destined protagonist—the hero meant to lead the charge against the Demon King—doesn’t exist in this version of the story. With no chosen savior and no script to follow, Edward is left with one horrifying conclusion: the responsibility to save the world might fall to him. But Edward Arclight is a duke in name only, and his people, bitter and downtrodden, see him as a symbol of failure. With dwindling resources, fractured alliances, and a land teetering on rebellion, Edward must rise from obscurity to rebuild the legacy of his house. Along the way, he discovers hidden truths about the apocalypse, the origins of the Demon King, and the mysterious artifacts of magic and technology that could hold the key to saving—or dooming—the world. Caught in a web of political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and the looming shadow of annihilation, Edward must rally reluctant allies, outwit his enemies, and awaken the power hidden within his family’s forgotten heritage. In a world where magic and technology collide and destiny has been thrown into chaos, the forgotten duke must rewrite his own fate and face the ultimate question: Can a side character defy fate and become a hero?

Enjoy!

In the twenty-first century, the world experienced explosive technological advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, government-granted major loans to common households, and the possession of new-gen androids gradually erased human labor from every different field in the workforce. People in first-world countries from the middle class up were the first to enjoy the freedom of time and improved quality of life granted by the household androids working in their stead. With a steady flow of income provided by their working androids and the leisure of time on their hands, people started turning to entertainment for their indulgence. Around that time, Future Electronics shocked the world in 2056 with its first full-dive virtual reality headset, Eden VR. And with it came the VRMMORPG, Eden Online. Jointly invested by 100 countries, which granted half the world access to a virtual second life, everyone believed it would be the greatest source of entertainment for the following decades to come. However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Eden Online’s high-difficulty settings tormented players instead. Set in a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by disasters where humanity has been forced to retreat inside fortified cities with high-rise walls, players can only challenge the savage beasts, mutants, and infected beyond with their wits, gears, and skills. The benefit of becoming stronger through a leveling system is not a feature of the first-generation VRMMORPG that defined the twenty-first century for games. Despite players’ dissatisfactions and complaints, Eden Online remained staunch in its theme with the government’s backing and encouragement. For whatever purposes and intent Future Electronics and the government may have, Desmond Gray, is one of the rare players willing to challenge the world of Eden Online. However, what drives Desmond to play such an unenjoyable and self-torturous game? Could there be more to the game than what it seems? This is his story.
