It was the year 2169. The apocalypse finally arrived. Global warming, zombies, nuclear war, all at once. Just one tipping point and the world itself would crumble. Then, Nova Corp, a hegemon of the corporate world, seemingly convinced the global super powers into doing the impossible: Taking everyone online. And they did. Everyone, poor or rich, was taken into the VRMMORPG: World Online. A fantasy world where anything was possible. A utopia, unlike everything that the real world was. But what was supposed to become a method of existence, became a battleground for supremacy. Companies, world powers, and the rich battled to become the greatest. The disparity between the poor and the rich grew. There was no justice in this world. It took Darwin's words further than any other. Jake, as poor as one could get, was caught in the rift, torn apart by the unfair system. He was a dog of the Shadow King Guild, and even though he was absolutely loyal, in the end, the guild cut him off. He was without an anchor and left in the cruel world. He knew no Utopia like the others. But one day, when he opened his eyes, nothing was the same anymore. Opening his eyes, he found himself ten years in the past. He was done being the henchman now. He was not going to let himself be used anymore. Now, it was time for him to fight back. So what if the strongest were going to stand in his way? He was going to be unstoppable.

It was just a feeling that Jake had. But he knew his intuition to be accurate. And he knew that he had to start looking for that devilish rock as quickly as he could.
He walked toward the black wall, black and brown leaves rustling in the wind. The sound of the rustling leaves creeped out Jake. It was the only voice that he could hear.
There was no other sound around him, and that meant that he was alone. It didn't make any sense to him that there was no one waiting for him.
Maybe they were inside whatever laid beyond the wall though. Jake still didn't know what laid there, so maybe they were in there.
In fact, maybe they were caught up there, and were waiting for reinforcements.
All of this was in his head, and he resolved his will and started hasting his pace toward the small opening in this walled garden.
It was a simple opening that allowed two people to pass at the same time, and if they were close together, maybe even three.
