In the year 2050, a company called Carnival Entertainment Org but also known as C.E.O, created something that everyone dubbed "the perfect game". A virtual reality game, a VMMORPG with a magical and almost real world called Infinite World. Where the motto is: One World, Infinite Possibility. Players can do whatever they want as if it were real life, as long as it doesn't go beyond the rules imposed by the company. Fish? Design and create clothes? Forge weapons? Cook? Mine? All this was possible and more. Hand skills can be used at the player's will so that he can create anything up to something that exists in real life. Combat classes? Magic classes? Ranged classes? Everything was possible. A player could learn any skill from any class as long as they have the required attributes and skill books. A warrior can use magic or a mage can use a bow. In Infinite World, players choose the possibilities for their characters. ... Wang Cai was a regular player of Infinite World, but he found the quest that gave him one of the game's tens of thousands of hidden classes, the Astral Gladiator. Because of his health problem due to a work accident, Wang Cai stayed in the hospital for several years. His parents died about ten years ago and his best friend also died in the hospital a few years earlier due to a car accident. With no visits from relatives, Wang Cai had a lonely life in the hospital, so he was immersed in Infinite World. But there was one exception, the only one exception he would never forget in his life. In his last breaths, he was discovering the last secret of the Astral Gladiator class. But destiny was cruel to him. Before he could look, he took his last breath and died. However, just as it was cruel, destiny was also something magical and strange. For some unknown reason, Wang Cai got another chance to discover this secret.

Cycles of Balance: Price of Equilibrium (A story from the Petals of Timelessness multiverse) Once a cosmic architect of balance — a will beyond flesh and gender — now bound in a mortal shell with only a fragment of its power. A philosophical dark fantasy of choices and sacrifice, centered on the slow-burn tension of an impossible metaphysical connection between this cosmic architect and a mortal woman —one bound by logic, the other the anomaly who may be its undoing. The story begins at the Academy of Duality — ground zero for the reality-breaking anomaly OD must fix: an impossible love born when one soul was wished into this world from another. Here, as in all of Valtheim, rivalries, hidden cults, and fragile alliances test the limits of logic and control. Yet the Academy is only the beginning. In Price of Equilibrium, Arta Nox turns her focus from the external anomaly to her internal one: her "Unique Variable," Catherine Holu. Impartial analysis grows ever more difficult as the web of events tightens—threatening not only Illumora, but the Architect’s own perfect structure. A dark, reflective fantasy about the cost of order, the fragility of perfection, and the dangerous question of whether balance can ever truly exist.
