"One day, strange jellyfish-like creatures invaded the Earth, they called themselves 'Zirtues'. We retaliated but no matter how much we tried, we couldn't hurt them, not even a scratch. Most despaired at this and killed themselves, but we didn't give up. After numerous losses, we managed to capture one singular specimen, with that, we created super soilders that were able to kill those vile creatures. And from then on, we began our liberation." - Diary of Jean, the world's strongest.

I got pulled into the game that I’d dominated for five whole seasons, holding the number one leaderboard spot without a break since launch. How many people could say they’d pulled off a feat like that? A Free-to-Play player ruling a Pay-to-Win game? Probably just me. Eventually, it all got stale, and I decided to quit. But one night, while I was sleeping, I suddenly found myself inside the game, Astral Point, where the Administrator asked me to beat the game for real—not just from behind a computer screen. So, I agreed to the request, thinking it was all just a vivid dream. But as it turned out, none of it was a dream. I’m actually here, in the world of Astral Point, facing off against players from other dimensions who call themselves the Pay-to-Win (newbies).

In a world where the boundaries between the mortal realm and the astral plane are held together by a fragile, shimmering veil, chaos begins to seep through. When the veil mysteriously fractures, ancient forces that were once banished to the astral plane start to awaken, threatening to engulf the world in eternal darkness. Eira, an orphaned cartographer with a secret connection to the stars, stumbles upon an ancient map that marks the location of a lost artifact—the Astralis Key. This artifact, according to legend, has the power to mend the veil and restore balance to the realms. However, retrieving it will not be easy. With the help of Kael, a rogue astral mage with a shadowed past, and Selene, a warrior cursed by the very forces they seek to fight, Eira embarks on a perilous journey across enchanted lands, forgotten ruins, and treacherous astral storms. Along the way, she discovers that her connection to the stars may hold the answers to questions she never dared to ask about her past—and the power to reshape the future. But the veil is not merely a barrier; it is alive, and it is watching. As the group races against time, they must confront not only external threats but also the darkness within themselves. Will Eira and her companions unlock the mysteries of the Astral Veil, or will the realms collapse into chaos forever? The Astral Veil is a tale of courage, destiny, and the thin line between light and shadow.

Takeshi glancing at the boys, determined "Stay close to me. I won’t let them take you." He tightens his grip on his weapon, every muscle in his body tensed and ready for the battle. Shauwa charges at Takeshi with a roar, his weapon swinging wildly. Takeshi meets him head-on, their weapons clashing with a loud, metallic sound. The boys watch in fear, huddling close to each other. Shauwa grinning wildly as he swings his weapon "Is this all you’ve got, Takeshi? I thought you were supposed to be strong!" He laughs, trying to taunt Takeshi into making a mistake.

( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!
