Realm of Kings

In a cluttered room, Jax leisurely indulged in his favorite junk food while mentally preparing for his next session of online gaming.

Jax had established himself as one of the top online gamers, effortlessly raking in a significant stream of income from his successful gaming career.

All he desired was to get his hands on the latest popular game that was still in the beta stage and was not yet released, he fantasized on how he would play it until he achieved fame and recognition as one of the top-ranking players.

He would then upload videos on KingTube, showcasing his fast leveling strategies and further enhancing his financial success.

Jax had quite the knack for turning a profit.

In addition to his individual pursuits, he had also struck deals with various organizations and companies.

His ultimate dream was to become one of the best players across all types of games.

However, recently, an annouymous account had challenged him online, asserting that he wouldn't last in the about to release beta Realms of Kings game.

This caught Jax off guard, as he prided himself on being well-informed about all types of games, ranging from the exceptional to the mediocre.

When he learned of this game he had played before, it immediately piqued his interest and ignited a burning desire within him to obtain it at any cost.

He was determined to climb to the top of this mysterious game as well.

As he scoured the internet for information, Jax discovered that it wasn't a game one could simply download or order conventionally.

Fortunately, the person who had dared him provided a link to a Dark website where he could purchase the game in a few days' time, along with a guidebook to assist him.

Observing the thorough preparedness of his challenger, Jax assumed that this individual must also be a professional gamer like himself.

It was this assumption that led him to his current situation.

Before immersing himself in the game that had just been delivered to his doorstep, Jax decided to enjoy a quick snack after reading through the guide lines , unable to contain his excitement for the new adventures that awaited him.

What truly puzzled him, however, was the fact that they didn't require any payment for the game.

Not that he minded, as he never particularly cared for free things.

He simply assumed that they must have been aware of his popularity and hoped that his involvement would elevate the game's popularity even further.

Finishing his meal in haste, Jax eagerly made his way to the VR pod, ready to dive headfirst into the game.

"Finally, I can test this baby," Jax exclaimed eagerly,

securing the VR pod over his face, As soon as he did, an excruciating shock surged through his entire body, causing him to let out a startled cry.

Frantically, he attempted to remove the device, but to no avail.

The relentless torment continued for what felt like an eternity until, ultimately, it claimed his life after approximately fifteen minutes of torturous shock therapy.

With Jax's passing, two individuals dressed in suits and black masks entered the room.

"Did you think it succeeded?" the first man asked.

"Nope, it doesn't seem like it, That was our last chance before the main event, If he had been able to make contact with the Realm World, we would have been able to reach out to him once he reached a higher level by luck," the second man replied.

"But if he can't, it means we've lost out on a major investment, After all, the magician who assisted us with this project is now dead," the second man explained.

"What a drag! Let's just retrieve the body, We don't want the government experimenting on it, now do we?" the first man suggested.

both men began walking toward Jax's body, and just as their hands were about to touch him, his body started disintegrating into particles of dust, disappearing so quickly that the two men looked shocked by the unexpected turn of events.

"That has never happened before, right?" the first man questioned the second, his expression displaying his complete astonishment.

"I believe this means he has successfully entered the realm we've been dreaming about for so long,"

the second man elaborated, seemingly possessing more knowledge regarding matters related to the realm.

"Let's return to base, We definitely have to report this development to the Boss," the second man concluded.

As sunlight filtered into the room, Jax gingerly opened his eyes but quickly shielded them with his arms, deterred by the brightness.

Surveying his unfamiliar surroundings, he observed a pair of handmaidens wearing attire reminiscent of a medieval era, diligently arranging the room where he had awoken.

"Oh, you're finally awake, my lord, I hope you're feeling better now because we need you," one of the maidens said, taking on the role of overseeing the others.

Jax found himself perplexed by her words, unsure of how he ended up in this fantasy role-playing scenario.

He assumed she was the butler, but her addressing him as "lord" only added to his confusion.

He attempted to get out of bed while trying to recall how he had entered this immersive experience.

All he could remember was trying out a new game when the excruciating pain struck him.

Just as the thought of the game crossed his mind, another intense headache, centered around his head, began.

It felt as though his brain was being relentlessly pounded into mush.

Unfamiliar memories started flooding his mind, leaving him with a strange sense of familiarity.

In approximately five minutes, the headache subsided, and as he opened his eyes, he realized he was back in his own bed with the girl he had mistaken for the butler by his side.

"My lord, you can't go around experiencing such excruciating headaches, We can't afford for you to perish yet, This town needs you to thrive, In the end, you became its king on the day you arrived here, and even if you're not particularly powerful, this town still cherishes its king."

" Stay strong for our sake," the maid, with a tinge of sarcasm in her tone, expressed her concerns.

Jax glanced at her briefly and muttered, "I am so screwed," his words filled with genuine worry.

Finally realizing what had befallen him through the invading memories, he understood that this was no longer a mere game but a reality.

Jax, being an avid pro gamer and well-read in comics and novels, could easily discern from the memories he had just received that he had been transmigrated into the world of the "Realms of Kings" game.

This realization only solidified his suspicions after he pinched himself and felt the pains.
