Reborn Vanguard
In a world where virtual reality has transcended gaming and become a way of life, people now gain abilities based on their in-game levels. The most powerful among them, reaching Level 500, can obliterate entire cities with a single strike. The line between reality and the virtual world has blurred, and the promise of limitless power has drawn the attention of many.
The protagonist, Kai, was once a promising player in this vast virtual reality universe, but his life was cut short in an unexpected betrayal. However, death is not the end in this world. Kai is reborn into the same universe, granted a second chance at life—but with a twist. In this new life, he inherits a unique ability: the power of Copying, enabling him to replicate any ability he comes into contact with, regardless of its origin.
As Kai navigates his rebirth, he learns of a looming threat—the Demon King, an ancient and powerful entity who has been hiding in the darkest corners of the virtual world, waiting for the moment to corrupt the minds and souls of those who play. The Demon King's influence is spreading, and with each passing day, more and more players succumb to his corruption, becoming mindless instruments of destruction.
While many players are focused on leveling up and amassing power, Kai's journey is different. As he gathers abilities from the highest levels of the game, he realizes that his true power lies not in becoming a hero or villain but in shaping the fate of the world. With the ability to copy and combine powers, Kai faces a moral dilemma—should he wield this power to destroy the Demon King, or is there another way to stop the corruption without becoming a tyrant himself?
