A game named Utopia would be released 2 weeks from now, the first-ever virtual reality game. Beginning with a fully implemented world, the game contained hundreds of thousands of races and users. Over millions of skills.
You could be whatever you want to be and enjoy the adventure as you desire. Doing normal things such as hunting monsters and leveling up or conquering lands and becoming an emperor.
The massive scale of freedom was top-notch, but the best above all was the game system and the fact that you could earn money in this game. Utopia is said to be the ultimate game that every human could enjoy.
" For me, this kind of game is out of reach ."
Alexander doesn't expect anything from a game that he couldn't even afford.
The game was so popular that the installation equipment cost over 750,000 Pesos before the game was even got released. If Alexander had that kind of money he would already pay for his Grandma's medical needs or he would save it for his younger brother that would go to college a few years from now.
But for now, Alexander opened his character in Heroes of Nevareth to try and sell it. Searching through the internet and looking for a selling site that's trusted. Among all of them, he entered the one with the most number of all people present.
" I post my character prized here and it's all set to go."
Alexander posted a picture of his character's appearance, attributes, items, and skills.
He had the highest stats and level that separates him from all others but his greatest advantage lies within his items. The Cosmos Set gives him a hundred billion power in the game.
Alexander begins to start the auction with the initial price of 25,000 Pesos. He's kinda nervous that nobody would try to bid if the price is too high.
The auction has a deadline of one day.
Earning a lot of money here is unlikely and to get a job Alexander needs a decent suit to wear tomorrow for a job interview.
Finally, he finished posting and went to sleep for the rest of the night. Waking up early this day, Alexander plans to stop by the company he wants to apply to.
While sleeping Alexander didn't know the uproar his account had caused in the Heroes of Nevareth community.
At first, no one believes the auction was posted because before the latest patch the highest level possible was only 600 and after that, it was level 1,000.
It's common sense that no one could reach this level in a short amount of time because it's impossible not to get bored and grind all day long without sleeping unless the user is using hacks or cheats.
But no one could deny there was a character for sale that reach the impossible.
" This is next-level editing."
"Only idiots would believe this kind of post"
A lot of people commented and doubt the legitimacy of the post as they thought it was unrealistic.
People tried to ignore the auction posted but their curiosity could not be stopped and they entered to see the post once again.
Each of the pictures posted was opened. Everything was unreal except for the fact that it was all real.
" How can someone complete the Cosmos Set this along with the Legendary Sword Excalibur? Is this a GM account?"
The people had no choice but to admit that this post was legit because everything was detailed and complete.
" This guy maybe live all of his life playing Heroes of Nevareth."
" I don't see any of the parts edited and I'm an expert in terms of post phishing. This one is legit."
" This account is real. The account is named Archeus! The rumored strongest solo player, I thought he's not real ."
Alexander didn't involve himself in anything that could make him famous because he's done illegal things in the past. So he always played alone and went to hunting grounds that no other players could reach to avoid other people.
Slaying Gods, mythical bosses including the game masters sweep through everything alone.
Even if he's always alone it doesn't mean nobody knows him. Almost all of the high-ranking players had been killed by him and several guilds had also been demolished by him alone so they know that Archeus exists.
It's only Alexander who doesn't know of his real fame.
The current price of the auction is only 25,000 Pesos even without the items this value is far too low.
People immediately begin bidding from 50,000 Pesos to 400,000 Pesos after an hour it reaches 2,000,000 Pesos.
With his level and attributes alone there is nothing to lose and with his equipment, it would surely go much higher.
Even though the players in Heroes of Nevareth decreased it's still currently the number one game in the world since Utopia is still unreleased.
At first, it was only the players that were making the price go up but after them, the large companies started joining making the price skyrocket.
" Boss, is this you? "
" I'm still having a goodnight's rest. What the hell are you calling in the middle of the night?"
" I'm a sorry boss.. let me explain first because Archeus the character that almost annihilated our guild is up for the auction. I thought you would be interested"
" What?! Do you mean Archeus?
" That's right boss. His character is level 1,000 items and his stats are the greatest ever to exist.
Then he explained the rest in detail.
" Immediately bid 15,000,000 Pesos right now make sure that we must get this account use one of my bank accounts and get the first place bid."

At the moment Alexander had no idea what is happening because he was sleeping.
" I'm gonna become the richest man in the world."
Even in his dreams, he's still thinking about money.
•••
With all the players focusing on Alexander's account, the price continues to go up.
With the price reaching 20,000,000 Pesos everyone was jealous of not having enough money to compete in this auction.
The competition was becoming fiercer and fiercer when ten of the biggest companies join the battle. No one would give an edge to each other until the time is finally up and the auction came to an end.
