"I can't believe I died like that..." Ren thought as he stared at the ceiling.
Ren Sydos was 34 years old when he died as he was playing the virtual reality game 'Creation'. His house's power pole was struck by lightning and all the lightning came to his capsule game and fried his brain.
Some moments before his death he felt like all of his life passed before his eyes like images... Only the images were not his own memories but billions of players' memories in game. The memories flooded his brain, it felt like billions of years had passed in a moment as he experienced those memories. He saw all of the quests, dungeons, secret places, interactions with other players, etc. everything the players had experienced in game, he saw and experienced them and then he died.
Now he woke up again and saw the familiar room he had lived with his family before college 15 years ago.
SLAP!
He slapped himself as he thought his was having a dream, but as he felt the pain in his cheeks he knew it was not a dream. He went before the mirror and saw his 19 years old self, Ren was young again.
'So I'm reincarnated to the past like in those novels huh?' Ren was stupefied as he picked up his old phone and saw the calendar on it. he was brought back to 15 years ago.
It was only 2 days before the official launch of the VR game Creation which was gonna dominate the real world and game industry.
'but why do I have so many memories?' When he thought about the billions of memories in his mind he felt a sharp pain in his head like needles were prickled in his brain. He was amazed and speechless for the amount of memories in his mind, He knew the game like the back of his hand, every quest the players had taken, every secret quest to secret classes and everything else related to the game the players had experienced.
[Ding... Host's brain is overloading... Please stop thinking about those memories or else you would turn into a retarded person...]
Ren was shocked about the sudden voice in his mind and stopped trying to remember those memories "And I have a system exactly like in those novels... but why haven't I transmigrated to another world...?"
"I'm gonna dominate earth with the system..." Ren thought.
'show my stats' thought ren and immediately...

...
He was so disappointed after saying other things but receiving no reaction from the system.
It was like the system had no other function other than telling stats.
"So I have a system that has no funtion other than telling my stats? where is my cheaaat thennn... so disappointed" said Ren.
...
Ren had started VR game Creation five years after it's release, you ask why so late? because he needed to study for his college entrance exam, and also he wasn't that interested in games, he had a poor family so he needed to work and make money for his College.
He started Creation when he was 24 years old but it was already too late to compete for the higher ranks in the game. Still he became a somewhat superior professional player after 10 years of hard work and was able to earn a decent living from the game with it.
Knock, Knock
As he was lost in his thoughts a knock in the door woke him up to reality.
"Son, come down eat breakfast" it was a familiar voice of a middle aged man.
"Dad..." Ren couldn't help but shiver at the sound of the voice as tears rolled down his face. In his past life Ren's dad had died because of an accident but Ren swore to himself he's not gonna let that happen again.
"Coming dad." Ren said as he went down the stairs.
He was greeted by the sight of his mother and little sister along his dad sitting around the table eating breakfast. He sat too and started eating breakfast happily and then he spend the rest of the day with his family as it was the holidays.
The next day Ren went to a shark loaner and recieved a loan of 10,000 Dollars with 50% percent interest every month and also signed some shady stuff about selling his organs if he wasn't capable of giving back the money. afterwards he walked to the nearest shop to buy the cheapest VR game capsule for 9,700 Dollars with 93 percent quality and gave about 200 Dollars for installing fee and just like that he was broke.
That night at 12 o'clock the game would officially begin so he went home an hour later workers came and installed the game capsule and until it was finished less than an hour had remained for the official start.
Time passed and 3 minutes before 12 o'clock Ren lay down inside the capsule as he went online.
...
[Welcome to Creation.] He was alone in a dark space as the familiar beauty AI appeared before him. A girl with a skin as white as snow with blue eyes. She had pitch black hair. A lot of players had fallen in love with her at first sight, there was even a fan club made for her in his past life with a lot of them worshipping her.
[Please select an in game ID.] AI said.
"Syd" Ren said.
[Player successfully named. Please select a race.]
"Human" he said as he saw lots of races like undead, orc, elf, night elf, high elf, blood elf, dwarf, etc.
Also to his surprise there was something which wasn't there in his past life, the option to alter his face. After being surprised and shocked of such a change he stopped thinking about it any further as he got nowhere with it and started altering his face a little so as not to be recognised by others in real world. He changed his eye brows a little, his face was a bit bigger, he changed his hairstyle to long hairstyle. If he was put in front of his parents with this character they would recognize him after some delibration.
[Please choose a village to spawn.] A big map marked with lots of red dots which were the villages appeared before him as he touched one of the red dots, the name of the village was Evergreen Village. Naturally he had his own reasons to choose that place.
…
He appeared at the village spawn point as lots of players were spawning at the village, some were looking at their surroundings excitedly, some running outside town to kill monsters to level up and some were trying to talk to the NPCs to receive quests.
made some changes to the option of altering the face option. there was no such option in his past life. sorry for the inconvenience guys
