Description

The Earth got conquered. However, instead of its population decreasing by ninety percent, Empire offered humanity an opportunity to join them as a vassal species.

They gave every person 500 000 USD worth of credits. Told them that all their old currencies were worthless and all debts were nullified. On top of that, they informed humanity that the person who could earn the most credits in the next five years would become the Earth's new ruler.

However, all wasn't just positive, like with all occupations, it brought with it its own set of problems.

So naturally, after the Earth joined the Empire, everyone was looking for ways to earn more credits. And Tom might have just found it. A VR game called Secverse.

When Tom enters the Secverse, he starts to uncover how much more there was to the universe. A completely new set of rules and energies that had stayed hidden from humanity.

After he witnessed what they could do, he wanted. No, needed to harness their power for himself.

The only problem was that he had no idea what he was doing.

    An alien apocalypse with a LitRPG layer.  Beware the grammar and wording twists - hopefully there will be a major re-write before any final publication. Also, I'm still not exactly sure how the title fits with the story - other than the forced reset of the economic system the aliens impose.
    I'm guessing there is a lot of future potention here - so keep at it!

    There's a decent premise here and some good ideas if you ignore all the gaping holes in some of the world building, but the only way this MC could ever win the contest is with copious amounts of help from the author. Given the setting and his "plan", such as it is, its basically impossible without extreme author intervention. If any character in the setting made a single, extremely sensible decision that they would definitely make if this was the real world, then the MC would be left so far behind that it wouldn't even be funny. It'd be like a talentless, untrained hobbyist producing more functional, high quality cars than multi-national car company doing its best to do the same in a five year period. Basically, the author has to mass produce idiot balls and pass them out to every human on Earth just to offset how unworthy the MC is.
    Also, the grammar is not good and mistakes abound in every chapter. Its clear that it was not a priority.
    Though, I do appreciate that the MC spends at least some time in the real world, even if, so far, he does nothing with it. Its sadly far too rare in most VRMMO stories for even that much of the real world to be included.
