Cap 1

**Location:** Brazil, Vitória

Lohan woke up.

Lohan shouted with a throbbing head and sat up in bed.

"I couldn't sleep last night, and even after sleeping in the morning, I'm still having nightmares. At this rate, my sleep will be all messed up."

Lohan continued to complain about the quality of his sleep last night, but in the next moment, he looked around and didn't know where he was.

"My God, where is this place?"

At that time, he was in a strange room that appeared to be a standard hotel room. However, this standard room was not very sophisticated at first glance. Moreover, the room was a mess.

There's a large suitcase next to the living room table. The table is home to a special laptop. The thickness is comparable to that of a brick. The screen is also large, seems heavy, but the craftsmanship is exquisite.

Lohan had never seen a laptop like this in his life, but this notebook seemed more advanced.

He got up and went to the bathroom, washed his face, and looked in the mirror. He realized his appearance was slightly different, he seemed younger, as if he had gone back to his college days.

Slowly, his brain began to have unknown memories, more like from another world.

The world was basically similar to the world he was familiar with, but the gaming industry Lohan was most familiar with was quite different.

The root of all this lay in the difference in technology levels.

In this world, there had been a series of technological explosions that rapidly changed the gaming industry. Computational technology advanced faster than a rocket.

Before the proliferation of personal computers, leading researchers developed supercomputers capable of computing tens of millions of times per second. There were major advancements in virtual reality (VR) technology, leading to the emergence of VR games.

However, this rapid technological explosion also caused the collapse of the PC gaming industry, as many designers shifted their focus to VR and did not accumulate experience in PC gaming.

In Lohan's world, however, the gaming industry was highly respected. Game designers were considered artists and held a high status.

Lohan, a recent graduate, wishes to enter the gaming industry, but this is not done the same way as in his previous life. He needs to design games through a game editor and go through professional jury analysis to enter the game design competition.

To enter the game design competition, he stayed in a hotel but ended up sleep-deprived and died due to the pressure.

After savoring his lunchbox, Lohan eagerly searched through his laptop while sipping his soda. He nearly choked on a discovery.

Initially, when he opened the laptop and began to understand how games worked in this world, he was excited. The more he explored, the more his excitement grew.

In this world, virtual reality games dominated. PC games were considered disappointing, many of them were common, and the PC was primarily used for office tasks. Mobile games were mostly casual and lacked high-quality games. Mobile game development was mostly done by level D designers, and only a few games were truly profitable. Console games didn't exist.

However, the real revolution was happening in virtual reality games, but few designers were innovating in this area. Some were stuck in development cycles, while others simply imitated what was already available.

Lohan was excited about the opportunities that lay ahead. He was ready to demonstrate his game design skills. However, when he checked his personal account, he was shocked.

The editor Lohan used, called [Brasileiro Engine], was developed in Brazil. Although there were foreign editors like the [Unreal Engine], [Brasileiro Engine] had its own advantages when it came to virtual reality games.

Lohan checked his assessment as a game designer in the parallel world:

- [Lohan: Game Designer (Beginner)]

- [Creativity: 7]

- [System: 8]

- [Value: 3]

- [Level: 4]

- [Story: 10]

- [Original Artwork: 7]

- [3D Art: 1]

- [Resources Used This Month: 294 MB/300 MB]

Lohan was intrigued by the numbers. His highest score was in "Story," most likely due to his background in literature.

However, his skill in "3D Art" was abysmally low because he hadn't developed games with 3D graphics.

The real issue was the "amount of resources used this month." With only 6 MB remaining, Lohan was in trouble.

He realized he had only two days to create a new game and participate in a competition. He was short on funds and needed to win.

Lohan felt despair, thinking it wouldn't be possible to create a new game with only 6 MB of resources.

He reached out to touch the laptop screen when he noticed something strange on his wristband on his left wrist.

The wristband, similar to the one he used in his previous life, had additional features. It displayed a sequence of numbers: 597,340.

Lohan was pleased with his prize and began to wonder about the meaning of the number 597,340.

This number sequence, divided by ten, represented the money Lohan spent on games in his previous life, approximately $60,000.

Lohan noticed that the wristband also had a lottery platform with three areas: [Designer's Skill Book], [Rare Skill Book], and [Special Item]. The [Special Item] area was the smallest, but there was a large button: [Draw].

Lohan decided to try his luck and clicked [Draw]. The spinning platform began to rotate rapidly.

The result was a [Designer's Skill Book], which increased his "Value" by 1 point. Although it wasn't the expected purple prize, Lohan accepted it.

He contemplated whether to try again but hesitated due to the high cost of 10,000 dollars (actually 100,000). However, he decided to take the risk once more, as the upcoming competition was drawing near.

Now, with only 6 MB of resources, Lohan was determined to create a new game and win the competition.
