Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my ownself.

Mo Chen awakens in the body of a talentless outer disciple of the Demon Sect—a young man with no future, no influence, and no hope of ever rising above the countless others who struggle to survive. But everything changes the day he obtains a mysterious Silver Mark. Hidden beneath the world of cultivation lies a far greater truth. Countless civilizations are connected through an ancient cosmic game. Powerful beings known as the Seven Seats once maintained the balance of existence, while an enigmatic force called The Audience silently judges every world, erasing those deemed "failures." Across endless worlds, countless Players have challenged fate. Every one of them has failed. Because they all believed there were only two choices: Victory or defeat. Sacrifice or destruction. Order or chaos. Mo Chen refuses to accept either. Instead... He chooses a path that has never existed before. The Third Path. A path that does not seek to win the game— But to rewrite its rules. As ancient truths unravel and worlds begin to fall, Mo Chen must prove that the greatest power is not strength... It is the courage to create a choice where none should exist.

"Only beasts without confidence compete for mates." "Exactly!" The little bear comfortably rested its head on Wen Meng's snow-white thigh, rubbing its furry face vigorously.

However, he was also born sociopathic, unable to understand the feelings of others. As this aspect of his personality continues to develop, his entire hometown will become a bloodbath upon his return, accompanied by his maid-slave. The ruthless prince came to terror in his hometown, he did whatever he wanted—Raping and killing without remorse, As this conflict erupted in his hometown, he immediately went to his house, where he found the head of his younger brother on the doorstep. He remained emotionless amidst the chaos. Entering his parents' bedroom, he saw his mother dead in his parents' own bedroom. Upon entering his older sister's room, he foresaw her being rape by none other than the prince himself in front of the rest of his family as tears drop in her eyes. His younger sister, lying in bed, watched in despair and pity as Satra, the ruthless prince, acted. His father, the butler, and Clementine's mother tried to save his father's daughter by fighting the golden knight protecting Satra.

Some allies abandon Xialdre, while those who stay gain the power to challenge even a demon lord. Those who left remain weaker in comparison, having forsaken their bond with him. Though his loyal allies may become his wives, Xialdre refuses to coerce their loyalty; he seeks true devotion without manipulation a second time. "I won't force loyalty. If they can't choose it willingly, they're not worthy," asserts Xialdre, maintaining his calm demeanor. As his journey continues, Xialdre gradually rediscovers emotions, yet his cold, sociopathic mindset persists from his former life. "Despite my desires, I used manipulation to make them mine. But if they choose to leave, I'll let them go," he remarks coldly. Those who remain as his allies do so willingly, finding fulfillment in obeying Xialdre's commands, seeing him as their master forever. "But still, Why not use manipulation if its easier than actually winning their heart manually" Xialdre questioned. Xialdre is a reincarnation of cosmic expansion, an AΩ. He seeks revenge on the Daemon Sultan, also known as Lord God Azathoth, after losing to him alongside Elohim Adonai, another AΩ. Xialdre's life and power will only return after the rest of his shattered existence fades away.

But rather than give up, he dedicated years to studying the game, becoming a master of tactics, psychology, and player development. Yet no club would give him a chance. No matter how brilliant he was, no one would take a risk on an unknown Japanese coach with no experience. So, he made his own opportunity. He bought a club—just so he could coach. FC Blackhaven, a failing League Two club in England, was on the verge of collapse. No stars, no future, no hope. Everyone expected them to fade into obscurity.

To take revenge on everything in existence, he endured effort near enough to kill him and obtained the ultimate power.

With that as the trigger, for some reason, the main characters—who should be the ones saving the world—began moving to form an evil organization with me at the top...
