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.

Jake looked up at the wooden sign at the entrance of the tavern. The street was bustling, and people were entering and exiting the place, crowding it.
Slowly, Jake started walking into the place, clenching his fist.
"Please be easy this time. Please be easy this time." He muttered as he entered the giant tavern.
Inside, the adventure guild was bustling as always.
"Hey! It's a baron!" Someone shouted.
Jake smiled as he remembered what happened last time. It was like Deja Vu. But now was not the time to reminisce. He was on a time crunch.
He made his way to the long line that led to the receptionist desk of the adventurer's guild.
"Of course everyone is trying to ascend right about now. Last time I was here, at least I was ahead of the curve." Jake thought to himself as he moved forward one spot.
The line was gruelingly slow, and it took almost half an hour before he got to the start of the line.
