World Online
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.

Old Man (2)
Jake didn't move a muscle. He stood still as he felt a sharp pain on his neck.
The old man was holding maybe a knife to his neck right now, and he didn't want to start a knife. Especially not against someone who was probably way stronger than him.
"What is with the secrecy? Who are the knights of sin?" Jake shook his head and said.
"Who sent you to the emporium kid? Who told you about the emporium?" The old man asked once again.
Jake sighed.
"Some guy with a scar on his face. He said that I had to come to the emporium because he was too busy to tell me himself." Jake finally said.
"A scar on his face…" the sharp pain that Jake felt started to become faint.
"Could it be?" The old man's face suddenly changed and he took his knife away.
"You… you are coming with me." He said and the next thing that Jake felt was a sharp pain on the back of his head.
