"Stars are my candlelight, stellar orbits are my sashes, and civilizations are my sandbox." "It is my benevolence that allows all living souls to flourish within my garden, ensuring that even a breath of air need not be measured by coin." Like millions of others, Ling He was thrust into a "War Game" by an unforeseen accident. On the outside, a myriad of alien races watch with predatory eyes; within, the human race is consumed by intrigue and infighting. Some seek to become Emperors, ruling over the masses; others strive to be Gods of War, dominating the battlefield. Some even dream of mastering the ultimate truths of the universe, reshaping heaven and earth with a mere gesture. But... power, life, divinity, and even the fundamental truths of existence—everything has a price. He who controls Value, controls everything! Thus, Ling He shall become the Ultimate Monopolist—the terminal point of all profit and value. > [Warning: Upon choosing this path, you will be unable to gain experience through any means other than market monopoly.] "It matters not," Ling He whispered. On that day, he gazed upon the teeming mortals of the earth and the gods beyond the high heavens, sighing with cold realization: "I am still far too merciful, for they are permitted to stand upon my land and breathe my air from the very moment they are born."
