Lin Jin

The character's name didn't matter, what really caught the eye was the player's physical appearance, he is very similar to Lin Yun, and the few differences were minimal. It's as if he were the player there in the video.

"…" Looking at the video, more precisely at the player, Lin Yun had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

"Lin Yun, this character is you, right?"

"Well… Yes. It's me"

"It seems like you decided to dedicate yourself to the game instead of work, were the last five delayed because of the game?"

"Yes. I was busy, so I had to be a little late."

"Lin Yun, you really disappoint me. Leaving a job with a good salary to venture into a fantasy world with the dream of making money. It seems like you are dreaming big like many others who are trying to do the same." Manager Yang spoke in a disapproving tone.

"Manager Yang, can you just fire me? I'm a little late for my appointments."

"Sign here and here. Payment for these last seven days worked will be deposited in one week with discounts for delays."

"No problem" Lin Yun read the papers before signing and leaving without looking back.

The restaurant where he worked for almost a year is finally out of his life, now, his real focus will be the game, Project Hero: The Champion.

Returning home after some hours, the young man looked at a contact on the cell phone and typed the following words.

Chat - Lin Jin

"Humano - King Dash?"

"???" The other side responded in doubt, but soon understood the message and responded immediately.

"Yes. It's my character, how do you know? Are you playing too?"

"Yes. I was able to pay for the gear in installments."

"Need money?"

"Why would I need money?" Lin Yun was obviously angered by the other side's words and felt wronged.

"Because your job is horrible with even worse pay. And you shouldn't have enough money to buy the game gear without paying at least forty installments."

"I had some money saved and bought the helmet, and I also got fired just now, but it's okay."

"Did you get a rare item and sell it?"

"More or less"

"Then I don't have to worry about anything."

"You don't need to worry about your big brother, I know what to do."

"I'm not worried about you, I know you'll be able to fix your situation. The only problem is that it took longer than I thought"

"At least it's over and I won't have money problems for a while. I can focus on playing without worrying about running out of money for the next month."

"I wouldn't be proud to say something like that. It's even a bit shameful."

"I'm just doing what I always wanted to do, play every day as long as I make money."

"Big brother, you are already a grown adult and know what you are doing, I will not comment on this matter, but I hope you take care not to cause problems for others."

"Don't worry about it, your big brother is responsible."

"That is the problem."

"..."

…

The pair talked for a while longer before finishing.

Lin Jin is Lin Yun's younger brother, he was successful with a good job and is married, unlike his single and reclusive older brother.

As the two are a little similar, many always call them twin brothers, but the two were very different in several aspects.

Mainly age, one is five years older than the other. However, strangers usually confuse the two, only relatives can differentiate the two.

…

Lin Yun returned to the game after the conversation with his younger brother and saw a notification on the friends' icon.

Friendship request

King Dash - Human - Level 312

Location: Kingdom of Jabbir

Like his brother, Lin Jin knew Lin Yun's character name without needing to ask him, as it is the same one he always uses in any game.

So, after learning that he also played, Lin Jin just added him as a friend.

"You accepted the friend request"

Without the need to text, the two just do what they're doing without the need to bother each other.

Lin Yun continued fighting the Angry Buffaloes, Hornless Rhinos, and the Living Trees to level up, something that could be done elsewhere, but he preferred this one.

The amount of damage caused by attacks has increased substantially, especially when Auto-Poison is activated and staked several times, but is still considered low for the current level due to the weapon being level 1.

Several stacks on a single target cause so much damage that in a few seconds it is even greater than the total damage caused by Lin Yun's punches and kicks.

In one day of grinding, Lin Yun levels up five times and reaches level 40 before heading towards Pasma City again to rest for two hours before returning to Gray Stains City, and heading to the Central Library.

His friends don't suspect anything because he was already in Peeta Plains, a location close to Pasma City, and going to Gray Stains City after a few hours is a sign that he could have picked up a quest.

What proved this point is that he went to the library.

"Hello, how can I help you?" A player working as a librarian asked upon seeing him heading towards her.

"Hello, I would like to know where the books about famous and powerful people from all kingdoms, from the oldest to the newest, are located"

"Well… These books are separated into several different sections. I will write it down for you" She took out a parchment and wrote down a few things before handing it to Lin Yun.

"Thanks"

"You are welcome." The young girl smiled back, but after seeing Lin Yun's figure turn around and walk away, the smile became serious.

Opening the group chat window, she spoke solemnly.

"Leader, I found another player looking for information about legendary figures in history"

"Continue monitoring. I want to know who are those who are doing the same quest as us. If it's not him, just ignore it, but if it is, try to find out as much information about him as possible."

"Understood" The player continued acting normally as a library receptionist but sent information to her guildmates to keep an eye on Lin Yun during the time she was reading the books.

Unaware that he was being watched, Lin Yun looked through the shelves in search of the books he was looking for.

Legendary Characters, Stories from the Continent, Myths and Legends, Heroes of the World, and many other books were chosen.
