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.

Everyone stayed silent. They were not stupid.
A gold coin was still a gold coin. Why would they waste it on something that had absolutely no use?
The first count passed. And then the second.
"Sold to the baron." the auctioneer nodded, and the item was taken away.
Jake would only get this after the auction was over, or after he was done bidding. But why would he end it here? He would keep staying in the auction until the bidding surpassed his capacity.
After a certain point, the bids could even reach a few hundreds of thousands of gold coins. That was not money that Jake had at the moment, although he could get it in the future.
"Onto the next item then." the auctioneer brightly said as she looked brightly to the side, where another item was brought in.
