Reborn Before the Game Merge: From Mage to Sword God

Betrayed at the peak of power, Lin Jichen—once the world's greatest spellcaster in the VRMMO *Eight Desolations*—fell victim to his lover and sworn brother's treachery, dying as fodder to an immortal beast. But death wasn't the end. Reborn 24 hours before the game's launch, he abandons magic entirely and takes up the sword, determined to rewrite his fate. With knowledge of the future and the countdown ticking toward the day reality and game merge into one, Lin Jichen will seize every advantage, crush his betrayers, and ascend to heights no one can touch.
