Forbidden Game: Ruthless CEO, Please Set Me Free - Chapter 12: An Inevitable Encounter on a Narrow Path (5)

After a decade of clawing through brutal Gates, top Ranker Ace Avalanche finally storms Heaven’s Gate—only to learn Earth’s apocalypse was just the tutorial.He cashes in his one wish and wakes in his broke teenage body, three months before the first Gate descends. The multiverse blocks his every active skill and seals his heart, yet the System still flags him as a Ranker. Exploiting that loophole, Ace quietly stacks passive skills like Attack Speed, Critical Strike, Lifesteal, and more while the world marches blind toward its first apocalypse.

[The 3000th Descent of Mystery is about to begin.][This is your only chance to redeem yourself.]When the whole world was in danger, Wang Teng activated a unique talent.It was the Rank SSS talent - Inequivalent Exchange!He was not purchasing things for free, but the exchange was not equivalent.[Exchange successfully.

You used a bottle of Sad Breeze wine to exchange for the Star Shifting Method.]…From then on, Wang Teng activated a new exchange system.

Every ending births a beginning…But humanity’s beginning has reached its end.The heavens burn. The seas boil. Angels descend, and demons rise — the world itself becomes a battlefield for YMIR’S HOLY WAR, the final prophecy that will erase mankind from existence.In the ruins stands AIDEN — not a chosen one, not a savior, just a man who refuses to kneel.When fate itself offers him one miracle — a single wish strong enough to rewrite destiny — he makes the only choice left to a dying world.But miracles have a price.And the gods never lose.Hunted by Heaven, pursued by Hell, Aiden walks a path no mortal was meant to tread — toward the heart of creation, where even time must bow.This is not a story of salvation.It’s a story of rebellion — against prophecy, against gods, against the cruel loop of life and death itself.The apocalypse isn’t coming.It already began the day Aiden made his wish.

Paju, the city of hope, peace and madness.And the tale of a mage trapped in a bizarre world.“In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”
