## Background

A walking tank, that’s what Victor would have named him if Tom was his son. Such status at level 11 is amazing, even in the family, such geniuses would be granted elite status.

But the real problem with Tom is his Fate. A lot of geniuses die early, but people like Tom live for a long time.

Victor knew his fate would be at least an S. People call individuals with such fates ‘Scion’, they are the children of destiny. The one who destroyed Victor’s family back then was one of them.

### Victor's Past Life

Victor met Tom for the first time at the elite school, where both of them attended the special class made for players.

Tom, was amazing and kept getting stronger day after day. Every year he would return from his summer vacation after conquering some dungeons or defeating some powerful enemy. And the girls around him kept increasing too. There was even a certain female teacher who fell in love with him and Victor heard that she left school to be Tom’s full time maid.

After school Victor no longer heard of him, until the reckoning, where he saw him in the news. Tom who was supposed to be an old man by then was still looking valiant and young as he did back in school.

He seemed to join a player organization, which became later one of the major powers in the world and rivaled the hidden families and sects.

After that Victor would get glimpses of Tom’s ‘greatness’ every now and then. The last time he saw him was before he used the book of Time. Tom at that time was going to get married to a princess in the royal family.

Now Looking at his “SS Heroic” fate ranking, all these feats can be expected.

## History

At first, he did not understand what it meant, but it only took him a few days to get to know his powers. So he headed to a nearby mountain, where he camped for a few days and started to unleash and train his skills while planning what to do next. He asked himself many questions there.

Was he the only one?

Are there others?

Should he reveal his powers?

What can I do with this?

How can I make some money?

There were not many jobs requiring superpowers in modern society. Not clean ones anyway.

He stayed perplexed for a while until he met her. When he saw her, she was running away in the woods, and some men in black were perusing her. At first, he didn’t want to intervene as those men looked dangerous. But when he saw her face clearly, he stepped forward to save her life. She was beautiful, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. That was until he met Lily though.

He was able to defeat the three offenders easily. He took them by surprise. The first one was killed quickly. Then he activated his berserker skill and finished the other two. this was the first time he killed someone, and he should have felt something, but he didn't have the time to do that.

The girl who clung to him was poisoned by a strong aphrodisiac, and she was barely conscious. He didn’t know what to do. But the girl did not give him a chance to think, and he wasn’t really against it. So that night, she made him a real man.

The next day, when he woke up, the girl was still there looking at him with an inspecting look. After some hesitation, she introduced herself as Nova Von Astrom. According to her, her family was one of the world's five ruling families. They wanted to marry her to some young master as a political maneuver. Although she knew that this was her destiny a long time ago, she did not want to be married off to some pervert. So she took refuge with a close friend. But as it turned out, that friend was only using her. He wanted to rape her, ruining the prospect of a political marriage for her family and angering the forces behind her fiancé. She was able to escape thanks to a talisman she had, but she was already poisoned by then and that guy’s men were able to find her quickly. That was when she met Tom.

Tom was surprised by her story. He didn’t fully believe her, how can the world be ruled by five families?

He decided to ask her if she heard the term 'Player', and To his astonishment, she turned out to be a Player too, much weaker than him, but still a player. So he told her his story.

She was very pleased with him and decided to teach him all about the players and their rules and how the world and system worked.

She didn’t dare return to her family after losing her virginity, as that would put them in a tight spot with her fiancé’s family. So they stayed together on that mountain for a week. She didn’t let him touch her again though, as she was very shy. But he knew that she didn’t hate him. He was taking his time with her.

Their happy days ended when her family found them. She called the man who came to get her ‘brother’. He was smiling at first, but when he learned from her that she was no longer a virgin. His face became as cold as ice. He immediately restrained her with some kind of a magical tool, then turned to Tom, he was going to kill him. But when his fist burning with blue flame was next to Tom’s face, Nova, despite her shackles, stood in the way and took that hit for him.

He could still remember how she hugged him with blood coming out of her mouth, and how she put that tattered talisman in his pocket and activated it for him. Her last words were, “Don’t look for me.”

When he regained consciousness, he was in a valley a little far away from the mountain, so he returned there quickly to find it empty. Just a patch of blood on the ground remained where she saved him.

After that, he decided that he will grow to be stronger and save her someday, so after he returned to the city, he used the Internet and quickly found the 'PlayersBook' website Nova told him about, this was one of the ways rogue players connected and shared information, he began to investigate about the player’s world, and was surprised to find that many of them had many wives, this seemed to be a common practice. They have the power and money anyway.

There was an online market there too where all kinds of artifacts and gems were being traded.

He didn't have any COINs so he had to find a way to earn some. and one of those ways was raiding a dungeon.

He was able to participate in two public dungeon raids and one he secretly discovered after that. There he was able to level up and gain some experience and treasures. And by selling some of them, he was able to amass a substantial amount of money.

By the time he returned to school, he was no longer that poor boy. He is a rich man now. And his worldview has broadened.

He will no longer allow any girl he likes to escape from his grasp. And when he becomes strong and saves Nova, she will have a lot of younger sisters to help her serve him. He already has three lovers. And five other potential future wives in the oven.
