Chapter 137 World 2138

After selecting the dimension, cheat, and timeline, Eero's figure blurred, leaving an empty throne hall in its wake.

Somewhere in the dimension space, infinite distance away,

A huge, unmeasurable object flickered, then disappeared, escalating the gray expanse around.

This object describes a tree with leaves as universes, fruit's as metaverses, branches as multiverses.

It's a tree-shaped Omniverse hidden in this exclusive dimension since its birth. Today, everything changed; something invaded it awakened it from slumber.

In one of its leaves, which is a huge universe, inside this universe there are a few superclusters, a lot of clusters, uncountable galaxies, and then infinite planetary systems.

Inside one of the planetary systems, a yellow-blue planet filled with satellites and moving space garbage at the edge of this Planet, representing the sign of wisdom civilization residing on this Planet.

This Planet is known as World 2138; the civilization living upon it is known as the Human Race.

In the World of 2138, the destruction of the environment had continued at an ever-increasing speed to the point where the surface of the Earth was hopelessly polluted; gorgeous nature existed only in video games.

The sky is always hidden behind black smog, while the sun made only brief appearances every now and then. Thick, toxic fog frequently covered the cities, so almost no one went out without wearing a gas mask beforehand.

With nature almost completely destroyed, people have no other choice but to also rely on artificial lungs solely created for their safety to help breathe in the current, poor state of the environment.

Since the plants that would have converted carbon dioxide to oxygen and absorbed nitrogen oxide had all withered due to the death of the sun, the atmospheric pollution only worsened. As the number of plants decreased, the populations of birds and insects that ate their leaves and fruit dropped.

Of course, the pollution extended to the water as well, as all the rivers changed into horrible colors and became murky. The pollution was so bad that water purification systems ceased to function, so even tap water had to be passed through a filter before it could be drunk.

The practice of traditional farming, which depended on rainwater and sunlight, declined, and all vegetables and grains were cultivated in domes. The price of food inevitably soared, and raw fruits and vegetables became luxury goods that ordinary people couldn't get their hands on.

In the World of 2138, Countries, in practice, are not run by the government but by corporations. Huge conglomerates had even altered the laws to be to the companies' advantages, and the reality was that they controlled the people through their technology.

The technology is called DMMORPG and VRMMORPG, a very addictive gaming technology, which destroyed the youth of civilization. Rich becomes richer by inventing games, and the poor become poorer because of playing these games as players.

These technologies and games are the only way for the weak humans to escape such a harsh reality and live in their own reality. Weak work then play games, work then play games, work then play games.

Spending their life till death.

In some countries, orphan dies on the street, old people are thrown outside by their relatives, all this is the true face of this world.

...

In one such country,

Inside an empty alley,

A young boy lying on the ground unconscious, while silence spread in the whole alley.

Suddenly, the boy opened his eyes and sat up like a spring, looking at his hand and feet, stood up, his brow furrowed looking around.

He is our true protagonist, Eero, who just traveled to this new dimension to continue his journey.

"Why every time an alley?" Eero muttered, looking at the alley around, feeling the weakness in his six years old body.

"This body is quite weak, who is the owner of this body, I told Infinity to transfer my soul only, after playing Yggdrasil. Eventually, I will leave this world and body." Eero muttered looking at his body, recalling this boy's memory in his mind.

Flashbacks flashed through his mind, his expression became strange.

This body owner was a stray living orphan without any name, in an old abandoned building, a few blocks away.

A few years ago, an old beggar found this body owner newborn left by someone in a garbage heap and raised him for the next few years, then left him alone two years ago in an old abandoned building.

Since then, he has been living in the same old abandoned building along with other beggars. He has been eating stuff from garbage heaps for his survival for the past two years, and everything he had eaten is worse then shit; this planet is very toxic and everything inside is poisonous.

He is located in the downtown area filled with garbage heaps everywhere, except those metropolis cities attached to these downtown areas, there is no good place for living in this country.

"I didn't expect it." Eero muttered thoughtfully, looking at the thick fog around and dim light in the sky as if early morning or the last rays of sun.

Because of staying and searching something in the garbage heap for almost two years, toxins finally overcome his immune system; he was paralyzed and then died in just a few minutes because of lung and other organs failure and suffocation,

Eero shuddered recalling the horrible death experience, then his brow furrowed feeling weakness and stiffness in his body, "That's why this body feels extremely heavy and hard to manipulate."

[Cheat Activated]

A notification suddenly flashed through his mind.

'Perfect timing.' Eero thought to himself, Then cheat information appeared in his mind.

Virtual Reality: Can realize any imagined object physically.

Note: Realization depends on your body and soul.

Eero then analyzed the cheat thoughtfully, raising his hand, instantly something materialized and a small medicine capsule appeared on his palm,

Beat!

Suddenly his heartbeat slowed down, Eero sat down on knees feeling suffocation and pain, his strength fading away, as if his nerves are paralyzing again,

'It seems my 'Soul and Will' effect on this body is weakening,' He thought to himself, hurriedly strugglingly raised his hand and put the capsule in his mouth, gulping and swallowing it hardly.

This is the genetic medicine he imagined could heal all types of diseases. That's why his will and body weakened so suddenly. Otherwise, he could survive for a few more minutes despite his lung's and other organ failure. Realizing such a small capsule weakened his body and soul.

Slowly, he became drowsy; his eyelids felt heavy and fell at the corner of the alley unconscious.
