Level 1 to Apex: My Monster Templates Defy Reality! Novel

Born from the gutter, Veyne carried nothing but belief. The world saw failure; he saw faith. Others dismissed it as delusion—perhaps they were right. Regardless, it was everything he had. That conviction sustained him through betrayal, through his lover's treachery, through his brother's abandonment, through endless servitude within the game's merciless grind. Opportunity came late. When it arrived, Veyne proved too weak to hold it. He lost his war against the world and paid with his life. But the universe wasn't finished with him. Sent backward through time, two years into the game's existence, Veyne chased the Wilder class—the very power that had destroyed him. A legendary hidden class, Wilder granted an extraordinary ability: assume different monster forms through collected templates, each transformation a new possibility. Such power demands a steep price. A hidden template sealed him into an ancient cursed form, a creature so despised that players, monsters, and NPCs hunted him without mercy. Single death in that cursed state meant permanent character deletion. In his past life, he'd miscalculated this risk, and the world had exacted terrible payment. This second life demands more than survival. This time, domination alone satisfies him. No sentiment. No restraint. The entire game stands as his adversary, and he will erase every obstacle. He fell before. He bled before. He died before. He was erased before. Not this time. The era of Veyne Draven commences.
