I Hacked the Damned System

[Winner in WPC July 2023 Contest!] [Slight Smut - Fast Paced - System] *** Synopsis: It all started as another VRMMORPG, Emberhorn, was released out to the world. With it, came all sorts of adventures such as leveling up your stats, killing monsters as you venture through dungeons, slaying dragons, getting noble ranks, and in other words, living in it. That’s exactly what Adrenoid did. He wasted the rest of his years strapped to the headset as the addict for adventure that he was, doing nothing but playing and coursing through this virtual world’s mysteries and secrets. Thus, Adrenoid had long gone to become a lifeless shut-in without a job, friends, and a girlfriend. This game was the only thing that supported him through these tough times. What he lacked in the real world, he tried to change in the virtual one to the point he’d do anything to have more privilege than the others, including the possibility of cheating. Thus, after dozens of retries and errors, he had finally done it. He had hacked the game’s system which led to its downfall. [Shut-Down Notice: 1 Hour(s) Left.] [Shut-Down Notice: 30 Minutes Left.] [Goodbye!] Adrenoid’s stream of tears was unstoppable as the game he had invested years in to become one of the strongest had met its end. “Huh?” Adrenoid gazed in surprise as his tears pixelated into the air. [Welcome, Player 1!] [Your arrival has been awaited for a long time.] [The Emberhorn will stretch its authority over Planet-B612, also known as Earth, gradually over time.] Adrenoid couldn’t help but gaze slack-jawed at the holographic pop-ups one after another. Especially the editable stats. --Notice-- The Story's beginning will be based on the game, and so will the MC's villain trope also start later on--the world is set on Earth but I'll be making fictional countries, cities, towns, etc.

Auction

The entrance to the auction venue loomed before me, its grandeur a stark contrast to the misty streets outside. The white masquerade mask I wore added an air of mystery to my presence, concealing my eyes as I stepped through the ornate doors.

"Let's see what this place has to offer." I voiced to myself.

As if summoned by my arrival, a butler in a black suit and a mask of similar style approached with a respectful bow. "Good evening, sir. Welcome to the Ebon Enigma Auction. If you would please follow me, I will guide you through the proceedings."

I inclined my head in acknowledgment and followed the butler through the opulent corridor. 

The sound of hushed conversations and soft laughter floated in the air, creating an atmosphere of intrigue and anticipation.

The corridor opened up into a spacious room adorned with chandeliers that bathed the surroundings in a cold, white glow over the darkened room with its light focused on the stage.
