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).

( 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!
