It was now the 22nd century, where the technology was now at its highest peak. Structure was now getting progressively big, Also the network in the world is getting more high-tech. and while from flying cars, to health care robots that would help you if you're in need and anything more.

The future was everyone's dream in the past, but except for Jin Chen…

Just because of these changes, he struggled from paying bills and mortgage. It was not an easy task as an adult, but before that a game was released in the early time.

The name was Altersite Online, An MMORPG game that was released in his time in university, because he was thinking negatively that games would ruin his career and he might not find a good job.

The game was very popular in China, where the number of players was consistent of 300 millionth player, from the ages to teenagers to adults.

From the outstanding graphics to design making of the game, which made it one of the most influential games in that time period. Now starting to progress itself internationally, where the amount of people made it double or even more. Consisting to a 1 billionth player in counting.

People also earn money from the game, which made everyone started to play games just to earn extra income while some made it full time. Which was not a bad idea for the people around the world.

Jin Chen, who quit his job as a Marketing Management Employee and just started to restart his life normally.

Because of curiosity from his other friend in the province, he wanted to play the game for fun. He wanted to at least enjoy something rather than being stressed from what was happening in his life at this very moment.

He started to download the app, but everyone he knew who was addicted to the game spent their money for the Virtual Set. Where everything is more realistic, than using the PC like normal.

At first, he was starting to play from the instructor. He was not alone from the server, because people are joining the game every single day. It was non-stop, but now there was a rule that no one is now allowed to make alternative accounts or it will leave them to get bannable.

Now it was time for him to choose a class, based on the online source that the best class would always be the upgraded version of the basic character. They were rare characters but they were considered rare enough that people who owned those accounts would just sell them to people who wanted their class to be super over powered.

When Jin Chen rolled for his class, he got the Warrior Class and started to customize it to his liking. At first he didn't know anything but he wanted to enjoy playing at first.

He character was simple, Black hair but with a fade of blue. Also the body was neither tall nor petite, but normal.

Not wanting to stand out, because you could also lose your item from P.V.P from people. That's why he doesn't want people to know about him.

He started from fighting slime, goblins, and more. While his ranking was getting higher everyday but not high enough to be called a High Player, not like people who played the game since Day 1.

Nowadays, he is now struggling fighting the monster in the game. Checking his level, it was now good enough he could now at least sell items to earn money in real life. The problem was finding a legitimate seller was hard. Unless, they were high ranking which was hard for him to find because they were in different dimensions.

From the verge of fighting the monster in the game, he didn't realize his head was starting to get dizzy.

All he was thinking was fighting and fighting and earning money for his survival but then suddenly his body shut down. Letting him rest for eternity…

Did he really just die from playing video games… He just wanted to earn money, but because of his stress about being an adult, he died just because of playing a game which also can help him earn money.

Jin Chen didn't realize that his eyes were tearing up, he doesn't know what to do and where he will go. People thought that they would be in paradise, but why does it feel cold and lonely?

Life was really unfair, he just wanted to be happy and alive. He wanted to experience things that he didn't experience but now he is lifeless.

From his job as Marketer, he started to get interested in the game. First, reading articles about it everywhere, to the point he would read articles to get better equipment. Also the VIP player in the game, which can be a celebrity who played or anyone who got popular playing the Altersite Online.

Jin Chen wanted to giggle at his past self for being innocent, now that he experienced the hard ship. His only wish was now going back to where he came from and doing what he wanted to do.

He started to close his eyes, thinking that he would be resting in paradise…

Then a sudden vortex of sight, his body was starting to get swallowed. Grabbing the pole beside, he started to suppress himself from getting sucked from the hole and maybe survive from this little disaster that was happening at the moment.

He didn't want to leave yet, because all of his savings from the item he bought was still here. It was a pity to leave them behind because he bought it all by himself.

Then he realized that he was already dead, from all those things they were useless. They couldn't be touched or moved by him.

Jin Chen started to release the pressure from his hand, being ready to get sucked in where in the world it will take him. Maybe from paradise everyone was thinking of…

"Maybe this wasn't a bad decision after all?" He giggled to himself before dozing himself to sleep.
