Eternum Realms: The First King

In the age of advanced virtual reality, Eternum Realms became the world's first fully immersive kingdom-building game—a digital frontier where players could rule empires, wage wars, gather resources, and forge legends. But no one expected the game to become reality. Five years after its release, Eternum Realms merges with the real world. Players begin to awaken real powers, tied to their progress in-game—skills, classes, and kingdoms brought into the physical world. However, only a select few awaken early through rare items, feats, or extraordinary conditions. The rest must wait… or perish in ignorance. Rayn Valtara was once ranked among the top three monarchs, an empire forged with blood, betrayal, and brilliance. But when the friend he trusted most—ranked just beneath him—plunged a dagger in his back, everything crumbled. He died… and woke up 30 days before launch. Now armed with the knowledge of the future, he logs into Eternum Realms as the first player in the world, unlocking a god-tier skill, bypassing the mandatory tutorial, and earning the ultimate hidden class: Divine Undead Monarch—a being that controls both life and death, holy and demonic energies. Within three weeks, while the world is still learning how to walk, he aims to dominate 5% of the game’s vast territory. This time, he won’t rise. He will reign. ---
