The 22nd Century
Devil's Playground. The most popular single-player VR RPG ever made. Everyone loved it. The crazy freedom, the insane storylines, and the brutal politics—it was a masterpiece.
And then there was Kaius. A nobody graphic designer working at Goman Games World Limited, the company behind it all. He had the perfect life: a fat bank account, supportive parents, and a girlfriend everyone envied. But guess what? He hated it. Every bit of it. Nothing mattered anymore.
So when he died in a freak accident and woke up inside Devil's Playground as a prince, Kaius thought he’d hit the jackpot. "This is it! My second chance to live it up."
Yeah, no. Reality (or whatever this was) slapped him hard.
Turns out, he wasn’t just any prince. He was the forsaken prince. No power. No allies. No one who cared if he lived or died. Welcome to rock bottom, Your Highness.

"A system? Wait, does this mean…?" Kaius froze, then grinned like a lunatic.
"This is just like those webnovels! I’m the protagonist now! Oh, this is going to be epic."
But life as a protagonist wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Politics? Ruthless. Trust? A myth. Survival? A full-time job.
In a world where betrayal lurks in every shadow, kingdoms are built with iron and blood, and everyone has a secret, Kaius must fight for his place.
