Killing Cronus.
“How to kill them, you ask?..”
“Break their bones,
Shatter their psyche,
Strip them of their title—
That which they pride themselves upon..
.......heh.
Only then are you God.”

“To Become God, Earn It.”
Such was the heavily marketed tagline of the game 'Killing Cronus', that advertised itself as the first game of the century that would allow for the highest degree of realism and experience along with it. Though it was developed by relatively unknown makers whose titles in the gaming industry were not well known, they had the support and endorsement of some of the biggest names in the gaming scene— and with demo releases that came (sadly with only minimal immersion), people all over, were quite excited.
How could you not be? It promised to have the vastest option for gameplay- be it the option to spec into purely production or purely combatant (or really everything in between), the game essentially promised to give the freedom of choice, coupling it with a highly vast world that would really tempt you to explore. Being as player oriented as it is, it of course caught the eye of casual and competitive players, streamers, eSports groups, Vtubers and the like; their added endorsement and palpable interest creating another layer of hype that inevitably caused searchability of the game to skyrocket.
With one minute to launching of servers, one ex-pro gamer by the name of Ferrum (online alias), found himself furiously switching from tab to tab, briefing himself about the aspects of the game, and already mentally prepped strategies to 'game' the game.
