''Now I have three goals to achieve; protect Lisa, find Tabitha, and become strong enough to protect them all" James said as a flame of determination lit up in his eyes.

''Tomorrow I'll find out what the VR game has to offer, I hope I'll get to fight a lot of people, come to think of it I never had any action since I reincarnated the first time. This world is full of mysteries. What is the real extent of power the chaos race possesses? Are they the only race out there that can contend with mana? All these questions have been left unanswered even a person of Nicholas's strength could not handle the full strength of even the lowest caste of the chaos race. This is not going to be easy as I thought, now that I have decided to sit down and think about it. The pace at which everything is going is leaving me blindsided. I was able to reincarnate twice whiles once was already an impossibility. In those web novels, the protagonist reincarnates once, gets a system, and dominates the world. I don't even know the definite way to get stronger, all I can tell is that I have unimaginable talent in this world with no way to use it. What are the relationship between Earth, mana, and myself? It is as if fate is bringing us together. I hate to admit it but we are all puppets tied to the strings of fate. I once thought I had control of fate in my first life but all these series of events make me think otherwise. The mysteries of this world have still been left unsolved. Why are we given the chance to get stronger but are never able to reach the apex of evolution? What is a source of power? How can we evolve on our own without any power source? Without the help of fate can we stand and tower above everything? I hope this time I'll figure all this out on my adventure. I don't want to live or die on any person's or thing's whim. I need to get stronger and protect Lisa and everyone I'll have any kind of relationship with.''James thought as he drifted off to sleep with a lot of questions still on his mind.

A Day Later.

''Today is the day history will be made as Zero Evolution Online will be online with the servers fully operational and running at maximum. The game will be given access to anyone 15 years old and above to match the age of acknowledged adults worldwide due to the nature of the game which permits anything so far as one has the strength to carry it out, therefore only adults are allowed into the game. The Foxtails News Agency has been given the honor to officially begin the countdown towards the official launch of the game, we will start a 10-second countdown for the official start of the game''

James entered the VR POD as the news reporter counted down.

10.....9....8.....7....6....5.....4.....3....2....1...0

System online!!!

''Log in'' James said in anticipation for his new journey as his vision went pitch black but something completely unexpected happened when he found himself in a pitch black room with red engravings on the floor and pillars instead of logging in to the sky-covered space as stated in the game manual.

''Hey, what is going on here? Bella is this your doing?''James asked around looking for an answer.

''James, relax I am here, it seems the opportunity to use the system has come. This is the inner world of the old tattered book'' Bella called out to James.

''Where are you? Why can't I see you?''James asked around once again.

''I am sorry I used your soul strength to perform a forbidden time magic....''Bella said with an exhausted tone.

''What the fuck? I thought you said one of the ways to gain an advantage might be with my massive soul strength but not only did you use it I don't even know when I'll be able to recover it'' James said in a complaining tone.

''Shut up!! I don't have enough time to argue with you. I used a forbidden spell only mages on my master's level can use once in their lifetime at the cost of their soul but by using your soul strength I have mitigated the backlash I should have received. Even though I survived I lost a huge chunk of my strength. I need to explain a few things to you before I take my rest. I need to recover my strength as quickly as possible so that I'll be able to help you as much as I can. It was the promise I made to my master, to be able to recover my strength I need something called a life seed which can restore my soul and grant me a living body at the expense of my recovered strength. Usually finding something of that quality will be near impossible but the VR miraculously has resources that could not be found before the extinction.''

(A/N: The extinction is the name I have chosen to call the turning back of time of Earth to the era of science at the expense of other sub-races of the mana race to enable the functioning of the VR.)

''The VR world is independent of the real earth at least, for now, that is where the system comes in. With the system, you can move things from the outside world to the game world. The system can also impact your outside strength when you get stronger in-game. The VR game links the soul of an individual to the game which allows them to get stronger but with the current soul purity of other earthlings, the impact will show way far ahead in the future. With the system, you can have the strength to build a force for yourself outside which gives you a time advantage over the others. The system will perfect your other elemental affinities once you log in to the game. Finally, my master and Sir Lucius left you their time and creation legacy treasures for your use. Now, the reason I used your soul strength at my discretion was for your benefit. The forbidden magic I used was Future Sight which granted me the ability to divine the future for some time. I don't know what will happen to you because I used it to find the announcements made about unique quests and treasures that can help you. The system has that information now since our souls are linked but you will need strength to be able to acquire all of that. My last piece of advice for you is to create a guild of talented humans. One person alone can't achieve much no matter their strength. The world is generally a fair place, and with all these opportunities, hardships and struggles of equal magnitude will follow. Don't forget the life seed to help me get a body, the earlier I can help you the better, don't just go around chasing women in skirts. The rest of the game will be dependent on you and your luck, my future knowledge can only take you so far. I'll see you soon.....''Bella said as she fell unconscious.

''Ahhh.....won't you allow me to ask a question before going, like master like disciple I guess'' James said in frustration as he returned to the log-in space.

''Would you like to be an adventurer of this world?'' the tiny fairy spirit asked James. The whole process went on as if nothing happened.

''Yes'' James responded affirmatively

''For an adventurer, you will need to know the back story of The Origin Evolution world and about the power struggle between different worlds. The Origin Evolution world was in a relatively peaceful era, even though the strong ruled, everyone was able to go on with their daily lives. Until that day, dungeons mysteriously appeared in our world hoarding beasts and beings of different races. This prompted the setting up of adventurers guilds who helped clear these dungeons to provide relative peace for our world until finally, the pinnacle of all disasters happened when creatures called chaos beasts started appearing through portals called gates. With their high physical prowess and magic abilities(mana is not magic but a power source needed to use magic, therefore any race can use it, even the chaos race can use magic through chaos energy. )we were back to our old lives of hiding in fear. Luckily for us, the gods took pity on us and allowed the presence of immortal adventurers such as you who are here to help protect our world.'' The tiny fairy spirit said to James.

''Are there gods in this world?'' James asked the fairy spirit.

''There are many different gods in the Origin Evolution world and beings of my species are called Bell Fairies '' The fairy spirit said to James.

''How do immortal adventurers such as myself get stronger in this world?''James asked the fairy spirit.

''The only way to get stronger is by gaining mana points referred to as Exp from completing quests, clearing dungeons, and other related stuff. Exp is gained by doing something that affects the Origin world whether good or bad. Mr. adventurer, you have exhausted all questions you can ask, with this beginner's pack you will be transported to a kingdom of the Origin world. Do you have any choice in mind?''

''I will like to be sent to the Tempest Kingdom in the Annon Empire'' James said to the fairy spirit

'This is the kingdom with most of the things Bella divined. I will not waste the opportunity she has given me.' James said internally to himself.

''Immortal adventurer, you will be sent to a novice village in the kingdom to complete your character selections and test out your elemental affinities, with that you can start your journey by completing quests and helping the citizenry of the Origin Evolution world.''The fairy spirit said to James as his vision went pitch black as he arrived in the Origin World.

''Fuck...'' James said as he appeared in the game.

(A/N: I am sorry for continuously writing a lot of fillers in almost every chapter and changing the power system here and there but the main premise for this novel is the mystery behind the power systems and how our MC will rise above all that. I just like to explain every action our MC takes to give better clarity to the novel. Even though this might be fantasy, I believe that there has to be some truth to it once in a while. I guess that's my writing style. The power system issue is also finally settled since we will be using the same one as other VR novels. Thank you once again for picking this novel:)
