I’m reviewing this book after reading up to chapter 59. As many have pointed out, there are some similarities to Second Life Ranker in the story and setting. It seems to be quite inspired by it but, it has its own unique world and way of the telling the story. As long as you can get past the similarities, you will be in for a fun read. But now for the more in depth review. Warning. There will be some spoilers for the first 50 chapters so read with your own discretion. Updates- I binge read this novel within a night but it seems that there was some sort of gap between the first spurt of chapters and the most recent chapters. To me, this isn’t that big of a deal. The author likely took a break, for whatever reasons of his own. Besides that, he updates 7 or more chapters a week and seems to be dedicated to the novel. Grammar- Grammar is a make or break for many readers as the book can be unbearable to read and will just annoy them. Luckily, this novel has no such problems and has good grammar. Although I wouldn’t say that every comma is proper or that every clause is properly separated, the grammar is nearly perfect. Characters- There are some tropes with the characters such as the dead parents, missing brother, and kind old man, but they don’t drag on and aren’t annoyingly basic or by the book. Each character has some unique traits to them and have real life aspects. They are driven and work with the reality and logic of the real world. The MC himself is also quite well developed so far. He starts out very calm but damaged and we see that damage grow and change into a desire and penchant for vengeance. The growth path so far has been very logical, even if others believe it to be a bit generic. Overall, the characters are logical and reasonably react with the world around them while changing and growing along the way. Story- The story has a somewhat unique transfer from real life to game as the MC and others reach a new realm called Hellfire. They get unique skills and each enter the world through the apps on their phone. The character goes through trials in this new world that beget a tutorial. This is pretty common but well executed and not drawn out. I won’t go into anymore detail though, as I believe it would truly spoil the experience. Just read the first 50 chapters and you’ll know if you like the novel. Overview- This novel has serious potential to reach the top 50 as long as the updates are continuous, the story stays logical, and the plot doesn’t begin to copy Second Life Ranker. The overall good grammar, logical characters, and deep worldbuilding shows great potential. Overall, I would seriously recommend this book to anyone that likes a revenge story or someone who loves the video game type of power system. Give it the first 50 chapters, and you should be able to set aside the book with confidence or speed read it with your blood pumping through your veins. *This is one of my first reviews so forgive the formatting and the fact that I might have left some more detailed categories out. Due to the amount of chapters and possibility for serious spoilers, I decided to keep the review at this. I hope this gives you an idea of whether or not this book is for you.*

Mystic Calling:Stone of Glory

Year 2035. A groundbreaking game—"Glory Lords: Arcane War"—takes the world by storm. With cutting-edge VR immersion, players can feel the pulse of magic, the tremors of battle, and the weight of every decision. But more than just a game, it becomes the ultimate stage for global esports. Elite teams rise, billion-dollar prize pools emerge, and the entire world is swept into the frenzy. But for Ethan Parker, this isn’t just a game. It’s a gamble with fate itself. Las Vegas. Midnight. A secret high-stakes game. On the table lies the world’s only Legendary-tier artifact—the Stone of Glory. Its value? Far beyond a billion dollars. Because hidden within it is a secret—one that can rewrite the very rules of reality. Ethan bets everything. And loses. In that moment, he doesn’t just lose the artifact—he loses his future. Then, the world changes. The game and reality merge. Earth is no longer the world it once was. Society collapses, replaced by a brutal new order where a person’s rank in "Glory Lords: Arcane War" determines their status in real life. The strongest players become kings. The weakest? Slaves. And the one who won the Stone of Glory—Griffin Musk—rises to absolute power, ruling over this new world as its supreme leader. As for Ethan? Once the #1 player in the world, he loses everything—his account, his status, his freedom. Reduced to the lowest class, he suffers, tortured until his final breath. But now—he’s back. Reborn with the memories of his past life, he returns to the moment it all began. This time, he wins the gamble. This time, he won’t let the world fall into Griffin’s hands. But fate has more in store for him… When he logs into the game, he realizes something is off. Not only is he the first player in the world to own private territory, but he also acquires something unheard of—the only Legendary-tier unit in existence: the Green Dragon. And then—something even more shocking. These two Green Dragons aren’t just powerful units. They’re heroes. With growth potential and combat abilities surpassing even top-tier players, they have the power to change the course of the entire game. At that moment, Ethan knows—his path to the top has begun. But the real world isn’t done with him yet. Governments, military forces, corporate giants, secret organizations—and even Griffin himself—are now watching his every move. This time, it’s not just about revenge. This time, he’s taking control of the future. The war of heroes has only just begun…
