He was once hailed as the “God of War” in Destiny, but after his brothers betrayed him and a sinister conspiracy ruined his reputation, he deleted his character and vanished.
Three years later, the global immersive online game New Era launched, promising absolute fairness and holding the ultimate code that could change the course of human evolution.
Carrying fragmented, incomplete memories and the heart of a warrior long gone quiet, he returned under the unfamiliar ID “Against the Dust,” keeping a low profile.
Everyone thought he was just another mediocre player struggling through the early game.
Then war erupted once more. Foreign forces invaded, and the Huaxia server stood on the brink of collapse.
In the darkest hour, he strode alone beyond the border, pointing an ordinary iron blade at an army of thousands.
Data flashed across his eyes. The shackles that had bound the former God of War shattered, and one earth-shattering feat after another, each dismissed by the System as a “logical error,” stunned the world.
In that moment, enemy commanders trembled and old acquaintances cried out, “That style of fighting... Could it be him?!”
And atop a mountain of corpses, he calmly declared to the world:
“I lost everything once, but what belongs to me, I’ll take back with my own hands. Every last bit.”
This time, I don’t seek to be peerless beneath heaven. I’ll be the rebel against fate who overturns the rules: the Asura of Defiance!
