In the outskirts of Zariya City , Nearon village.

Dawn was approaching and the first ray of sunshine shone upon the crystal droplets of dew , Without any warmth that sunlight should carry.

Qing ....no ...Lance , Walked back on the wide muddy road with a small bloodied rabbit in his hand . Closing the door backhand , he walked towards the small lit stove , barely dispelling the morning chill.

The room is old and there is a smell of rotten wood all year round , the small wooden chair and a table with missing corner were placed. The cupboard is patched with wood and the low stove he was using .

There was nothing except this in the room .

He picked up a small dagger and skinned the rabbit neatly , placed the rabbit fur aside and washed the meat . Using the rough stone bowl , he carefully cooked the meat , without any seasonings .

Lifting the heavy lid of earthen jar , there was only a day's worth grain left .

He fell silent .

Who would tell him that a Chief game architect who played with millions , would be reduced to a day where he had nothing to eat .

And it's still in the game world he personally constructed.

Qing , Male , 32 years old , Chief game architect , Dream Technology . A giant in gaming industry.

In order to create the world's first holographic online game , [ Dawn Emporea ] , five year plan was made. From talents to funds to project approval and final stage , all preparations have been made.

The goal was to create a diffent dimension for humans. A real world with ultimate freedom .

Unexpectedly , he died before he could witness his dream come to fruition. He died in the plane crash after the business meet not long after the game was put into the stage of research and development .

When he woke up again . He already was in the [ Dawn Emporea ].

Even though he lived in this small village for three months , he still finds it unbelievable of the things he did during this time.

Well ...The life must go on.

He picked up a wooden bowl and a wooden spoon and started slurping the unpalpatable meat soup with a teeny bit of rice .

When he was doing all this , the door at his 'home' knocked . He ate liesurely first but was interrupted. Unhappily gulping down the remaining soup , he walked up to the door to open it .

Accompanied by a sudden 'clang!' sound , and sounds of dogs barking and people arguing made him pace faster. He walked out unhappily , his gaze shifted from the broken fence to various ferocious men holding sticks ,and finally landed on the pot bellied ugly man in the middle .

Several burly men rushed in holding the fence gate from left to right , pushed and shoved each other and started cursing .

" Yo ! You are the relative of the old man ? " , one burly man sscrutinised him from head to toe.

The middle aged ugly man leading them clapped his hands and hypocritically smiled.

" Young Man , Since you are a relative and living in that old man's house , Shouldn't you shoulder his debts too ? " , he gazed at him , full of greed.

He felt uncomfortable . Where would he get the money , This world wasn't a game anymore. The mosters do not give drops upon kill , niether do they drop coins.

He didn't know what debt these people were talking about , he just borrowed an identity of the blacksmith old man who was actually an outsider in this village.

He found him dying when he first came to this world . The old man had only few days left to live and his injuries got worse and he died.

It's also from that old mn that he got much more information about this world than the game . There wasn't even mention of Zariya city in the game . He could only conclude that this city got destroyed before the game plot even started.

" What debt are you talking about ? Grandpa never said he had debt " ..he said unhappily deliberately .

" Tsk tsk . He just didn't want to worry you . " , he threw a piece of lambskin parchment over , " look , this is the debt he stamped himself "

" pay the money and we will not bother you or you get out of village for me " , the men's face changed faster than flipping the book.

Where had he seen such shrew like scenes , he thought about it and decided to give the 2 silver he found in this small wooden hut as deposit and leave the rest to later .

" Alright " , He said and went inside to get the money .

Handing out the three silver coins , he took away the lambskin parcgment and burned it . From now on , he doesn't have any debt .

Silently reciting ' system panel ' in his heart , the main interface popped in front of him and another notification hung on top .

[ System : Player recieved 100 day log in gift package . Please check the bagspace ]

His eyes lit up . He checked the bagspace and a red colored box was indeed in it . He clicked on the box and the prompts appeared with holographic image of items in front of him .

[ 50 Silver Coins ]

[ Dagger ( White quality ) ×1 ]

[ Common Healing potion × 3 ]

Looking at the handful in front of him , he gulped.

He was indeed in dire need of a fine dagger . The one in front of him is white quality , but it's better than nothing .

The clothes he wore were the clothes he used when he died in the plane crash when he first arrived in this world .

Funnily enough , he found himself younger than his original age . His current age is 17 years old , Lance .

How does he know , because the system panel in front of him showed his game status.

[ User ID : Lance

Level : 4 ]

He found out three months ago when he arrived in this world , a gaming system also happened to follow him . This was the basic gaming interface he had developed with his team . Although the game system he recieved is extremely primitive and almost underdeveloped , he atleast had a life gaurantee in this world .

He logged back from the main interface , clicked on description , it was only a few lines.

[ Story Prelude : Since the rise of Orcs , the Elysia continent is no longer a paradise for human race ....

( Further content under development ) ]

As everyday , he checked out different functions on the screen . The skill tree was gray and locked and so was the infrastucture page.

The game store and recharge currency were also locked and unavailable.

At first , he doubted if he was stuck in his Virtual helmet and couldn't log out , but the three months spent him told with harshness, this was his reality.
