Is This Really A Game?!

For fifteen years, Ethan Vale lived inside a game. Eternal Ascension of Tower once had hundreds of millions of players, but as the years passed, they disappeared one by one. Ethan remained until he became the only active player left. By the time he reached the 1,000th floor, he had achieved everything—Global Rank #1, the strongest guild, enormous wealth, unrivaled knowledge, and a legacy no player could surpass. Then the game asked him one final question. [Did you enjoy the game?] [Would you like to play another game?] Ethan chose yes. The update stopped at one percent. Three years later, Ethan has abandoned gaming. He works an ordinary job and spends most of his salary supporting his sick parents. He is still bullied, still overlooked, and still struggling to find meaning in his life. Then every screen in the world turns blue. [WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT] [THE GAME HAS UPDATED.] The game Ethan once conquered becomes reality. Millions awaken as players, Hunters, and guild members. Yet the former world's strongest player starts again at Level 1—with no recognized class and almost no power. His knowledge may be his greatest advantage, but this new world doesn't follow the rules he remembers. To survive, Ethan must climb again. This time, however, the Tower is hiding something even he never knew.

Max entered Divine Epoch Online to save his sick mother from debt. He died before the game launched. When black-purple lightning struck his corpse, Ravan, a betrayed demonic emperor, took over his body. With Max’s memories, debts, and lingering attachment binding him to this new life, Ravan enters Divine Epoch to earn money, rebuild his power, and settle every grudge left behind. But the game’s divine class path rejects him and unlocks Blood Asura — a hidden class with no instructor, no blessing, and the power to create its own techniques. From A-rank skills to world bosses, hidden dungeons, rare loot, real-money trades, and a sealed demon bound as his first spirit, Ravan turns the game into his new battlefield. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes Divine Epoch Online is not just a game. Something ancient is waiting behind it.

It seemed impossible for him to seek revenge against his two brothers. Until his father bestowed upon him a rare power. A power that allowed him to tear apart reality with an illusion, to change and manipulate it. A power that enabled Celio to see the world and find his enemies. Could he do it?

What is the role of those third-rate villains in games or novels? I asked this question to myself quite a number of times. They don't have major screen time, but some of them have a huge effect on the storyline. And, if one of them hadn't played their role correctly, what would happen to the storyline? It seems like I am going to answer those questions since I became the third-rate villain in an RPG game. ------------------------------0----------------------------------- Chapter length 1000-2000 words.
