Hardcore Player's Salvation

Games come alive and the world collapses. Charles Dawson, a devoted hardcore player, fought to resurrect his grandmother but was betrayed by his girlfriend and his friend, dying consumed by hatred. He is mysteriously sent back twelve hours before the catastrophe. Armed with foreknowledge, he rapidly amasses wealth, shifting from obsessive gamer to a calculated cash player. As servers near shutdown he makes exact purchases, draws the lone SSS-level magic pet and signs the contract in advance. When the disaster repeats, Charles returns equipped with god-tier gear and his supreme pet. He pursues ruthless revenge against betrayers, races to rescue those he loves, and confronts the Dark King in a final, high-stakes showdown.
