Once a revered professional gamer, Aaron lives a secluded but modest lifestyle; playing video games and occasionally working on computer programming in his off-time. With the breakthrough of Virtual Reality Gaming in 2074, there is a rumor percolating around the web about a multi-billion dollar game title that would be released to the public.

This game is Arclight Online, a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Game that trumps any past predecessor of Virtual Reality games to date, containing a vast amount of data and scale that has never been before dreamt of.

With the anticipation of the release of the game along with a difficulty that leaned towards hardcore players, ex-professional gamer Aaron steps back into the limelight of what seemed to be a lost passion. To do what? Obviously, conquer this new game and be ranked number one.

I mean, he has nothing else to do, right?

An online virtual world has appeared with over 35+ games. It is a dream of many players around the world. However...

[AN: "Don't forget to add this novel to your library :)"]


    500 years into the future, space exploration has developed so much that humanity managed to explore the 3 Galaxies. The Milky Way, Andromeda and the Pegasus Galaxy. The Population of humanity reached 2 Trillion up to this point on which it occupied numerous habitable worlds on the 3 Galaxies.

    Those ventures have led to an increase in the advancement of technology. It affected all aspects of life. One such example is the Virtual Gaming World community. Thousands and thousands of individuals have shown their great strengths in the different Virtual Games across the 3 Galaxies all over the years. However, there is one individual who stood at the very peak among these great individuals.

  His name was Quan Shi, he's commonly known as The Emperor of Virtual Reality Games. People said that no gamer was his equal. He's so powerful other people thought he was a cheat. Dominating lands, finishing the hardest raids, endless titles and glories are some of his feats on all games that he played since he started. The strongest person known to almost all gamers so they say.


  When misfortune strikes. Quan Shi vanished for a long time. No one knew what happened and no one knew why. He just stopped appearing on VR games. It happened on the day of the release of the latest game Emperor Online.


  3 years have passed since that day. Everyone seems to have forgotten the incident due to the hype of the game.

Virtual Era, the Year 2538

A 23-year old boy named Shi Fan enthusiastically bought his new Virtual Capsule which costs about 18 months of his minimum wage salary. Seeing the excitement of Virtual Reality Games he himself also joined in on the fun.


      Graduating from college was hard but finding job opportunities is even harder. He was only left with one choice. To play "Emperor Online" and to find a living there by selling items. He planned to do this 3 years ago when he saw the popularity boom of the game. However due to the Samir Schooling Exclusion Law which prevented students who are still below the age of 22 from playing any sort of virtual games he couldn't do so.


  In his pastime, Shi Fan used to browse the forums and news and data about Emperor Online as much as he could, it could be said that almost all of the reported things about the game have already been seen by Shi Fan. He promised himself that one day he will also be one of the reported people in those platforms.

  "Emperor Online". The game that was made by the 3 Galaxies Fortune Companies. It sparked a large change in the Virtual Era on the day of its inception.

   The "Continent" in the game was said to be as large if not larger like an entire solar system and it is even said to be continually expanding every year with numerous updates. Countless empires and kingdoms have risen and fallen over the course of the three years and monarchy have changed like snapping fingers.


   Rare encounters and fortunes have been made possible. Even the poor can become rich overnight just bu playing the game. Numerous herbs and ores are still waiting to be discovered. Numerous job paths were made available for many people. The obtainable great achievements and titles and those names that are well known by the masses which are even more popular than celebrities are what drives gamers into the game.


   The most popular VRMMO with an unshakeable 95% market share. It could be said to be the 2nd World of the Virtual Era. Even those with disabilities can experience the world through their 5 senses as if they didn't have any physical problems. Its realistic experience is incomparable to any existing VRMMO besides Emperor Online.

      Wars that were being waged in different planets have been stopped as their wars were permanently moved into the Game due to the War Coordination Law which says that territories that were won in-game applied also in the real world where the territory is affiliated to.


  This way the bloodshed was averted and unnecessary deaths have lessened. Most of the Credits are being circulated in the game and the living of humanity has improved by a lot in the past 3 years.


    Before entering the capsule Shi Fan's phone rang he picked it up and listened to what the caller is talking about.

   "Yes, master I understand." He respectfully said to his caller. Opening the Capsule lid with a smirk on his face Shi Fan entered and can feel the smooth and cool surface of the cabin. As he closed the lid he began to familiarize himself with the device. Plugging in the capsule's life support system which measures heart rate, blood pressure as well as brain activity.

    Closing his eyes. Taking deep breaths.

    Shi Fan said. "Launch Emperor Online"


      "Acknowledged" A female robot spoke from the cabin speakers.

      A ray of light shone from his imagination. But this is no imagination. It is the process of transferring consciousness from Reality To the Virtual one.


      Then his virtual body pops out in a huge white room. Scanning around Shi Fan can see a floating blue robot that is typing something.
Walking forward slowly the robot noticing his presence looked up.


      "Good Day to you User #UZ9827898"  a male voice came from the robot. Then a
holographic keyboard immediately appeared in front of Shi Fan


      "Please type in your username:" the robot spoke calmly.


      As he was about to type. The keyboard disappeared like a bubble. And the walls of the white room slowly cracked revealing a large crack that allowed something to slip through.

   "Warning: System Intruder Alert," The robot warningly said as his eyes blinked red and then it slowly disappeared as if the entity above him is rejecting his existence.


   "Oh ho? There's really someone here?" a cold voice spoke from the shadow human-like figure that came from the cracks.


   "Who are you?!" Shi Fan spoke while looking up. It's his first time playing the game yet he already encountered a problem. Fearing being stuck in games like those conspiracies he has seen he couldn't help but shiver.


        "I am named Quan Shi. I exist in this nothingness. I'm the beginning and I'm also the end of this world. But now for me to escape these chains binding me. I will need your help." The unknown voice replied to his question.



    Before Shi Fan could speak again. A bright silver light coming from the unknown figure suddenly rushed into Shi Fan's body.



      After that scene, Shi Fan fainted. And his body slowly disappeared from the room leaving no trace like powder dissolving into the wind and the robot returned as if nothing happened before.

About 500 years into the future. The game "Emperor Online" was created to cater to the needs of almost all individuals. It is said to be the greatest VRMMORPG ever created. Played by countless individuals all over the three galaxies on their quest to become the strongest and the most famous Emperors of all time. 

Shi Fan, the protagonists embark on his journey on becoming one of the greatest Emperors, with the help of Quan Shi, his cheat guide that knows everything the Grand Continent has to offer the duo encounters unlikely allies and enemies. Endless herbs and ores that waiting to found. Legendary Treasures! The temptation of those riches and the magic of teamwork. Will Shi Fan be able to overcome the odds and become the strongest Emperor mankind had ever known?

As his name suggested, Sun Shuai was indeed a handsome guy. 
The only thing that the majority of males despised more than a handsome lad was that if he was also born rich. 
However, although he was born of second-generation wealth, he did not enjoy the usual flamboyant lifestyle nor was he a diligent young man who worked hard to earn a living. Sun Shuai's true passion was gaming.
Although it was not as if he sponsored gaming teams like some of the other young masters, he was still one of the top players when it came to spending on in-game packages. 
Sun Shuai and a few of his friends had just finished a few rounds while they voice chatted, and just as he was exiting the game, he noticed the pop-up window on the computer interface. 
"The latest virtual reality masterpiece, Journey To The Other World, is currently recruiting players for a beta version trial. The number of available spaces is limited so sign up as soon as possible (PS: Dear handsome men and beautiful women, yes that's you!)." 
"I don't need you to remind me that I'm handsome!" Sun Shuai rolled his eyes at the pop-up window, not having the slightest interest in it. 
"What stupid marketing!" 
Several online VR games had been launched during the past two years and Sun Shuai had tried them all. He was not very impressed by them as many of the movements felt detached and the game did not give him the satisfaction of truly being present in virtual reality. 
Just when he was about to close the pop-up window, he suddenly saw something flash across the window that seemed like a GIF. 
It was a pig-headed monster tearing apart a bloody corpse with broken limbs. In addition to the dim lighting, it set the tone of the scene and perfected the gloomy and gruesome atmosphere. For a fan of CG effects, this scene successfully piqued his curiosity. 
This animation was much better than the other crappy pop-up advertisements he was used to seeing. The key was that the pig-headed monster looked extremely realistic with its sharp fangs and rough skin, even the small details like the few strands of hair at the back of its head. In fact, it looked even more realistic than the swine in a game he had played once based on a film. 
"Well, it's not easy developing a game. If the game has at least one-tenth of the CG effects, I'll gladly be the first to pay for the in-game purchases." 
… 
"Bro, you're doing so great! You're the MVP again!" 
In a small district, a fat young man who looked like he weighed over 200 catties was sitting in front of his computer speaking into his microphone in a coquettish tone, "Come on, brother, are you going off so soon? Can't you accompany me for a while more? Remember to add me to your team again! I'll be waiting for you online! Remember to show up!" 
When the person on the other end hung up, the fat young man removed his headset and let out a sigh of relief. "Idiot!" He cursed out, in his normal rugged voice. 
The seat beneath him let out a squeak as he adjusted his fat body. 
A pop-up window appeared on his computer screen ——"The latest virtual reality masterpiece, Journey To The Other World, is currently recruiting players for a beta version trial (PS: Dear handsome men and beautiful women, yes that's you!)." 
"Bah, another trick to get me to download a new game…" 
… 
In an internet cafe, a young lad with long hair who was waiting in line spotted a familiar short figure in front of a computer and immediately rushed forward. 
"You're a primary school student, what are you doing here? Time to go home!"
The young man with long hair kicked the boy's chair in an attempt to chase him out.
Caught by surprise, the primary school student who was about to finish off a double-kill shot wide and missed a good opening. He immediately turned around to glare at the man. 
Unbothered by the boy's angry glare, the long-haired man tugged the student out of his seat and pointed at the sign placed at the entrance of the internet cafe. "Did you not see that sign? Minors are not allowed. Do you understand?"
The student remained silent, his hands clenching tightly in fists. 
"Oh, are you upset?" The long-haired man sneered as he noticed the little boy's actions. "Are you planning how to get someone to beat me up? Or are you thinking of smashing my head on the keyboard dakfjladjadfjdcgbyt…" (TN: The author inserted a word salad in this sentence, it is unclear whether it's a typo or the author's writing style.)
At that moment, a pop-up window appeared on the computer screen. 
… 
"Hello boys, remember to share and like the Rocket Yacht 666!" 
In a live broadcast chat room, a beautiful young girl who was dressed in sequins had just finished a dance and was laughing flirtatiously into the microphone set before the computer on the table. 
The live broadcast session's chatroom at the bottom of the screen was filled with comments such as "Missy, I want to have kids with you", "Missy, you have such long legs and such a small waist, and your skin is so beautifully smooth, "Missy, you're like a Maserati". 
"Alright, that's all for today. Muah, I love all of you!!" 
After a series of interactions, the scantily clad girl blew kisses toward her computer screen, and amongst many of comments begging her to stay and mournful complaints, she ended the livestream. The first thing she did was blow her nose before adjusting the uncomfortable underwear that was stuck between her butt cheeks after her dancing. Then, she reclined lazily into the seat, the alluring goddess image that she had spent hours creating was nowhere to be seen. 
"A trip that you can go anytime, transmigration for any time and anywhere. The latest online virtual reality game Journey To The Other World offers you 100% freedom and accurate simulation, and hereby invites you to join us on this journey! (PS: Dear handsome men and beautiful women, yes that's you!)" 
A dark-themed pop-up window appeared on the computer screen immediately right after she closed the live broadcast app. 
…
"It's time to AFK!" Xu Zhe sighed softly while sitting before his computer. 
Looking at the game character in the computer screen before him, he suddenly moved his mouse across the screen to click on the hearthstone backpack icon to return to the city. The interface read the command quickly and soon, his character returned to an inn. 
Xu Zhe pressed the ESC key and selected the option to exit the game in the menu box. The scene changed and the game returned to the login interface, then he closed the game interface before proceeding to uninstall the game. 
As he waited for the game to uninstall, Xu Zhe quietly lit a cigarette. He had been playing this game for more than ten years now, it was filled with memories of his youth. 
However, he felt indifferent now. 
Perhaps he had already passed the stage of nostalgia, hence why he viewed online games differently. 
"A beta version of the first online virtual reality masterpiece in the world, Journey To The Other World, is being launched. The ultimate combination of the pinnacle of simulation technology as well as interactive technology, we hereby invite you to join us on this journey!" 
While Xu Zhe waited for the game to uninstall, a pop-up window appeared and caught his attention.
"Online virtual reality?" 
Xu Zhe was usually disinterested in pop-up window advertisements. Online chat rooms were the worst, but even search engines like Sogou and ShowDoc had pop-up advertisements in every few clicks. Therefore, it was expected that advertisements would appear while he uninstalled the game. 
However, the words 'virtual reality' piqued his interest. 
Back in college when he was obsessed with MMO game-based novels, he and a few of his friends had concluded that if they were able to try a virtual reality MMO game at least once in their lives, they would be content and would declare that they lived a good life. 
He had tried VR games before. It began by watching the sales attendants promoting the equipment in departmental stores, then he caved in and bought one for himself. Well, it was interesting, to say the least, but it was still far from his idea of entering a virtual reality experience. Not even a little bit. 
In fact, the best experience he had was on a trip with his family and they tried a VR roller coaster at a theme park. That was the closest he had felt to his ideal, and although it felt so real, there was no interaction. It was merely an immersive experience. 
Xu Zhe also noticed the special effects animation in the pop-up window. Judging with his many years of experience playing online games and watching films, he noted that the CG effect was as good as the special effects rendering in blockbuster movies. 
Xu Zhe expanded the window and read a few more lines of the brief introduction to The Journey To The Other World, one of which mentioned that they were recruiting players to try out the beta version. 
"Beta test players? This kind of thing…" 
Xu Zhe bit his lip as he shook his head slowly. His enthusiasm for games was not as great as before, and beta tests were no longer appropriate for a middle-aged man like him anymore. 
However, just as Xu Zhe was about to close the page, he saw the selection box including the options to participate and simply click on the OK button. 
"Oh well, I don't need to pay money to register. Besides, I'm not going to play it anyway…" 
…


After falling asleep on his couch, Meng Yang awoke to find himself trapped inside a cage in an unfamiliar world. Except unlike normal transmigrators, he did not arrive with any form of outright golden finger or hack, all he has is the ability to summon humans from his own reality to assist him in surviving. In fact, in order to summon help, the person being summoned must agree to being sent on an interdimensional trip. When his first attempt to con strangers in using a viral chain message fails, he has a stroke of genius and ends up creating an online login interface for what seems like an online game and it ends up attracting a large player base. All seems good and well except for two things: the players think he's an opinionated NPC, and these players might not be the best thing for the Other World... Will he save this reality from disaster or will he be the cause of its demise?

Knowledge, The most fascinating of all the things which separate Human Beings from the several million species residing on the planet 'Earth'. With Knowledge, one could attain wisdom, and wisdom was the key to the path of Enlightenment. The meaning of the word,'Knowledge', varies from person to person which changes the understanding of Knowlege.
For some, Knowledge is key to leading a luxurious life. For others, it is key to succeed in life and for the remaining, Knowledge is getting advanced. As the creature called 'Human', advanced through millions of years of development, He tried to disrupt the natural balance to fulfill his selfish desires and ambitions.
Human beings started to develop himself further with the help of 'Technology', he became dependent on it such that it gave birth to fulfilling their dreams with the help of technology.
As it had been said, "When ambition and desire mixed with technology give birth to endless thirst to fulfill one's dream to that extent that one could accept his demise to get hold of it for once."



This is what happened when the wish to attain something turned into a desire. People tried to get hold of the Technology and force it to a greater extent which paved the way for two new terms,' Virtual Reality' and 'Augmented Reality'.
[1] Virtual Reality: A simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment and educational purposes.
[2] Augmented Reality: An interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory.
Scientific Organisations from all over the world started to develop and enhance both the type of technological style and succeeded in doing so. As the whole world went through many advancements, many of the Game Development Companies decided to use these technological styles to develop a fully functional game that could fulfill each person's desires and dreams.
Game Development Companies took charge to develop a fully functional Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game [VRMMORPG], The world where the dreams come true. Alas! Game Development Companies were successful in creating the World of Dreams but, they weren't able to create the dream itself.
The old Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games [MMORPGs] and Multiplayer Online Battle Arena [MOBAs] still swarmed the market and made a better profit than the newly released Virtual Reality Games. Developing a fully functional Virtual Game drained too many resources and wealth which left several Companies bankrupt and many shut down.
Finally in the Year 2026, A fully functional Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game[MMORPG] named 'AlterEGO' came into the international market and the company which developed it, AstroFLT sold several copies of the game and earned a huge profit.
The Release of 'AlterEGO' resulted in the advent of a new age, 'The Golden Age', in the industry of gaming and thus starting the E-Sports World Championship with 'AlterEGO' as it's the central event.
The World of AlterEGO was worth visiting as it offered an immersive experience to the players and the world which was meant to become the dreams of many was called, 'Imperia' or simply 'The Lands of Imperials'.

While Bill and Hastam were busy chatting away, Novis could feel his heartbeat thumping even louder.
"How the hell did the topic of conversation change to me!" Novis thought. All he wanted to do was scream at them to stop.
"Do you want me to do something?" Arthur asked.
"No, if we act now, they will know something is up," Novis replied.
The smile on Bill's face was huge as he happily talked about his brother to Hastam."Oh, so your brother will be playing in the semifinals then?" Hastam asked.
"Yeah and hill be facing off against Lucas bell, did you know their rumours going around that my brother actually beat him before, people can't wait for this game."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up." Novis was shouting out in his head.
Learning this piece of information Hastam had a thought, it was like jigsaw pieces were going into his head. He often liked playing detective games and watching movies but something just seemed to click.
Why did the Virtual sword god add Bill? Other then Hastam himself there has never been a case of this happening. He had a theory that Bill actually knew this person without realising it himself. Now Bill was also telling him that his brother had defeated Lucas before, someone even Hastam knew the name of.
Hastam then glanced over in the Virtual sword god's direction. He remained there completely motionless.
"Wait a minute!" Then lightning had stuck inside his mind, and a grin appeared on his face.
A student who was unable to attend the match this weekend because he had a conflicting schedule? No that wasn't the problem, the problem was the virtual sword god himself would be in the match. That's why he made up an excuse and had lied to him.
In the middle of Bill rambling on about his brother to Hastam, Hastam started to laugh out loud as he felt like he had just uncovered one of the biggest secrets in the world.
"Huh, did I say something funny?" Bill asked.
"Oh sorry, please continue." Hastam said.
Although Hastam felt like he had figured out this puzzle, he couldn't;t be a hundred percent sure. He was just connecting pieces but everything could have just been a coincidence.
But now he was even more excited to go to England.
"So what I was trying to say sir," Bill said acting a little nervous now. "If you think my brother is good enough, will you recommend him to a good university or even a pro team! I know he hasn't been playing long but, I've never seen my brother so excited about something before. And he's grown so quick it's unbelievable. I know he will be something special one day."
Hearing Bill talk about Novis so patiently, was heartbreaking for Novis. His brother had never shown this side to him before, but for the last fifteen minutes, all Bill had done was sung his praises to Hastam.
Whenever Novis was effected by his emotions, Arthur and George could feel it too. Novis had often forgotten about this part. Having these feelings Arthur decided to act. He walked forward and placed his hand on Bill's shoulder.
"It sounds like your brother is really special, I'm positive he will make it one day," Arthur said.
Suddenly, Hastam felt his whole theory was chucked away. Watching Arthur say that to Bill, he could tell the words were genuine. No one would be able to say those words about himself.
"And this is why you play games and you're not a detective," Hastam mumbled.
Finally though, the time for the three of them to play had arrived. When they entered their match, the audience who were following the Virtual sword god was surprised to see Hastam.
"It's Hastam, wait does this mean that he has links to their pro team."
"Maybe they have already recruited him and trying to keep it a secret from the other pro teams."
"Are you crazy, reporters would have already been all over this by now if it was true. Remember the virtual sword god has played with Hastam once before."
Inside the game, it was time for the team to pick lanes. The two random players they played with also knew of Hastam and the Virtual sword god's fame and said they were fine with wherever they wanted them to go, which made things easier.
"I guess, you two can go bottom together and I will go top with him," Bill said as he pointed at one of the other players. 
Then Arthur shook his head."Hastam does not need my help, he is skilful enough, if I can I would like to play with you," Arthur said.
If Bill received any more surprises for the day he felt like he would pass out any second. Luckily he was actually sitting in his gaming chair.
"Okay." Bill managed to croak out.
Seeing this, Hastam's mind kept going back and forth. I was clear to him that the virtual sword god was giving Bill special treatment.
As the two of them went top lane and the match began, Arthur made sure to stay back. The people online watching were excited to see what Arthur would do. Would he defeat all his opponents in one blow, would he take on five at once. Every time the Virtual sword god played it felt like a special event had happened.
But as the game continued on, the online community actual felt a little bored. Arthur decided to remain at the back. He allowed Bill to initiate most of the time and whenever Arthur could, he would cover him.
Although at the same time. Arthur wasn't helping him out too much.
"Doesn't this feel weird." One of the players on the other team said.
"Yeah, like whenever I want to go somewhere, or change it up, he stops us."
Although it didn't look like anything special to the people online. The pros knew what he was doing. He was zoning the enemy players. He made it almost impossible for the players to go where they wanted, whenever they would move, Arthur was already three steps ahead of them.
Arthur wanted to create a situation where the only thing they could do to get out of it, was to attack them. Then whenever Bill just couldn't handle it, he would come in and help.
"Is he trying to teach me?" Bill thought.
This was exactly what Arthur was doing. It was very rare to just practice your fighting skills against high-level opponents. Especially in a two vs one situation. This was the perfect scenario to allow Bill to grow.
After fighting for a good amount of time, Arthur would then deiced to come in and help finish them off. For the next few games, the same thing happened again and slowly the online community were also realising what Arthur was doing.
"Just how, seriously, how is he able to toy with these diamond players."
"It feels like I'm watching a diamond go up against a bronze, but it's not were in D I A M O N D."
While Novis was watching the whole situation, he could see the huge smile on Bill's face. He couldn't help but feel sad. Novis was the older brother but never felt like he was. Bill was always there to help him when he had questions In the game. But Novis was never able to help Bill with anything.
He thought that perhaps if he had started the game at the same time as Bill, or even before he might have been good enough to do what Arthur was doing now."
Novis then started to think back to what Bill had said to Hastam, asking him to recommend Novis to a good university. To be honest, Novis hadn't thought much about what he would do with the game after fighting Lucas.
Lucas had and always was his current goal, and he had finally reached it. The only thing that was driving him then to continue playing was helping Arthur and George find there missing companions but was there anything he was doing for himself.
After playing a few games and winning every single one of them. The three of them had decided to return to the lobby. That's when Hastam had approached Arthur.
"I wanted to ask you a question." Hastam said, "What are you planning to do, you clearly a skilled player but chose to play online in these meaningless games. Do you have any plans, do you not want to go Pro?"
Then without realising it, Arthur had given control back to Novis, he could feel that Novis wanted to answer this question. He clenched his fist tightly and looked Hastam in the eye.
 "I do."
What, Novis didn't realise was Hastam was currently live streaming his game to everyone who regularly watched him and although the game had finished, it was still recording him in the Lobby with the legendary sword god.
the recording had only started when they had first entered the game, so none of the beginning part of their conversation in the looby was heard. 
But the next day once again, information was spread all over the internet and online talking about how the virtual sword god, was planning to go pro.

Virtual helmet!
A virtual helmet similar to those depicted in web novels.
It was reported that Xing Hai Technologies had developed such equipment as early as 10 years ago. It had just never been fully promoted for civilian use. Only in the field of science; and only the few scientists who had attained the Supreme Laboratory in the game 100% Science Lab could acquire the virtual helmet for a better research experience.
Top scientists who had used the virtual helmet all made extremely high remarks about the device:
"God, at the moment I stepped into the Supreme Laboratory, I thought I had stepped into heaven."
"The experience is surreal. It's just like another real world."
"It's just like magic that sends my soul off to another place."
"The helmet is unparalleled. Next to the virtual helmet, all the other VR devices are garbage."
The scientists spoke with various levels of exaggeration and described the virtual helmet as something divine.
Was it really that great?
Many people expressed disbelief. Especially those players who felt that VR technology was already perfected and were already satisfied and happy with it—it was unacceptable to them to hear declarations that VR was garbage.
However, Xing Hai Technologies's virtual helmets were only for the scientific community. There were no more than a thousand scientists who owned the equipment. Ordinary gamers would have liked to verify the claims about the helmet themselves. But they couldn't get one, unless they became a top scientist. Unquestionably, this would mean reaching the highest level in Science—one of the most difficult games.
Was this even possible for the majority of ordinary gamers?
And so, as for the power of Xing Hai Technologies' virtual helmet was concerned, ordinary gamers with no chance of experiencing it for themselves drew conclusions on their own. With the same sort of curiosity, many people stuck their heads into the scientific community just to acquire a virtual helmet get the ultimate gaming experience.
This went on until May of federal sixth year, when a veteran gamer named "Aotian" attained the highest level in 100% Science Lab, spending around five years or so, and got his hands on a personal virtual helmet. That was the first time a professional gamer came into contact with the virtual helmet, which was originally meant for scientists.
After the helmet arrived in his hands, Aotian pulled off a worldwide live broadcast of himself unpacking, installing, configuring, and at last putting on the virtual helmet, hence entering the virtual world. His live broadcast lasted for 11 hours and amassed more than 100 million viewers at peak time.
After he had experienced the virtual helmet, Aotian took it off and held it in his hand. He then sighed and said to the camera: "Compared to this, all the other VR's are trash!"
Wow! The world was made aware of the virtual helmet's greatness.
The whole VR industry became tense. After all, game equipment that could simulate pain, touch, smell and taste was simply unfathomable for them. Just like ants meeting a god, they were trembling in fear. But soon after, the VR industry became breezy once again. They were skeptical about the virtual helmet.
They were still stuck on the same talking points: "why not sell it if you have stock?" Why would Xing Hai Technologies not promote such an astonishing piece of technology as their virtual helmets? Why were they forsaking such tremendous amounts of profit?
Treasures that could not be mass produced, no matter how great they were, would still be no match for garbage. And hence, tranquility and serenity prevailed. The VR empire could at least last for another 30 years.
However, on one day in August of federal eighth year, when Xing Hai Technologies suddenly announced their plans to enter the virtual online game industry and launch a "real virtual game" based on their virtual helmets, it directly triggered a depth bomb effect.
Inside dorm 302.
After reading through the news, Li Dong and the others immediately got excited.
Liu Yichen said, while rubbing his palms together, "This is great. Has Xing Hai Technologies finally had enough of this f*cking VR top up era? Hahaha, marvelous, splendid."
"Yeah. Things were all too calm and smooth in VR over the years. Many companies have forgotten who they are. For the sake of earning money, they've forsaken their initial resolutions, ideals, beliefs, feelings, fairness—everything. There's only one word left in their minds: money." Cai Qinghai clenched his fist.
"A game about interstellar warfare. Isn't this kind of game my specialty? Besides, it is a Xing Hai Technologies game, and we'll get to experience the unprecedented virtual helmet…"
Li Dong stroked his chin while nodding and said, "For our next game, let's choose this upcoming one from Xing Hai Technologies. Honestly speaking, Xing Hai Technologies is an invincible demon lord themselves, but at least they're kinder than other companies and would take care of the interests and feelings of most people."
"Yeah."
Cai Qinghai nodded, "At least technically, Xing Hai Technologies had never disappointed us."
Subsequently, in the City of the Eastern Sea chat group.
Li Dong forwarded the news about Xing Hai Technologies's forthcoming launch of their virtual online game on interstellar warfare, thus informing Mu Wanqiu of the news.
"I know about this."
Mu Wanqiu continued in the chat group: "Lots of people at my school are discussing this game."
"So, are you interested in that game? Want to play together?" Liu Yichen asked.
"Of course. But I'm not sure whether it would be a top up kind of game. If it's similar to those online VRs, and if the virtual helmet is, like, super expensive, I may have to consider a little."
Mu Wanqiu was also from an economically average family. She had not invested much in games. Moreover, she did not wish for a bad gaming experience.
"Um, I don't think that Xing Hai Technologies will make it that way. Games that require heavy top ups will generally not last over five years. Their player base will be like chives. But Xing Hai Technologies is an expert in making long-term investments. They usually look 10 steps ahead of things. Besides, they aren't a luxury brand. Most products they sell are relatively affordable. Maybe you should have some confidence in them," Li Dong analyzed. He had read a book called "Learning from Xing Hai Technologies' Success," and thus knew more about Xing Hai Technologies.
"Hmm. What you're saying makes sense."
...
In the succeeding period of time, Xing Hai Technologies released leaks at two- to three-day intervals, winning the eyeballs of many.
For instance, the name of the online game was preliminarily confirmed to be Galaxy Era.
The game's servers would never stop, unless for force majeure.
The realism of the game world would be 99.9999%.
The virtual helmet's comprehensive simulation degree would be up to 61%.
At present, the total production of virtual helmets had exceeded 10 million sets, and the average production cost had dropped to about 3,000 dollars. With the luxury versions as exceptions, regular versions would not sell for more than 4,000 dollars.
To ensure fairness, the game would not have any top-up system or in-game item market system, but in the future, a player trading platform would be established. Xing Hai Technologies would only draw a small amount of "tax points" from the player's trading activities.
After the above leaks were announced.
All the worries of Li Dong, Mu Wanqiu, and the others had vanished. They were left with only intense anticipation of entering the game.
The VR industry, on the other hand, was in extreme panic. As Xing Hai Technologies did not enter the VR industry previously, they naively thought that the company was turning its nose up on the field and had left them the whole "playground." They were laughing inside, and even thought that Xing Hai Technologies were morons.
What about now?
Once Xing Hai Technologies began to move, they had set on a course to devastate them all. All of them were smelling the scent of demise.


Through a mysterious portal, Chen Jin arrived at this strange place - a post-apocalyptic world where civilization had been destroyed. 

Consequently, he found -

A piece of metal scrap
A robot trash collector
A battleground
A city
A ton and more of gold
A copy of high-tech documents
A...
In short, Chen Jin found a planet.

It's strange isn't it? My life? Oh! Off course how on earth will you be able to know my life! If you want to know my opinion about the life of which I'm the owner, I would say, it's complicated. Yes, it's full of suspense, thrill, adventure and yeah, the most important thing, romance. I love to play games, in my childhood, games were the only thing I cared of. I was not a good student, not at all! I am an otaku, or an anime freak! I'm Taki Suzuno. During my time, online games were very popular. And probably those changed my life forever. Most of the hours in a day, I used to spend them in either playing online VRMMORPG games or watching animes. And those who are not familiar with the word VRMMORPG, why fear? I'm here to decipher, it's Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. 
        Those games are basically played using a Virtual Reality Gear or a VR device. During those days VR games were made by many companies but at the top of the leaderboard was the CaronStrap. They probably built the highest graphics game, and being a gamiomaniac, I used to purchase each and every games produced by the company. VR world was a different world as compared to our real world. VR can lead to many possibilities in occurrence of a world, particular VR game had its own world with it's own sort of rules and powers which were given to it's fellow players. I even saw some of my friends going crazy over those game's high end graphics. The developers made it look real and we could even feel what was actually going around, quite intriguing, right? It was not kept upto that only, when you were playing the game, your body will be in a sleep mode, basically the CaronStrap send EM waves to our neurons which gets numb just as the way it occurs during while we are asleep. And yeah technology went quite high, why shouldn't it be? After all it's 2120. We are no longer in the old days where only computer's first player perspective games are being played. The thing which I loved the most about VR games is that, you can make all sorts of friends from all over the globe. If you aren't even a social person, who knows the VR world can even change your personality! In short a VR world had infinite possibilities. 
        But one of the possibilities took me away from my world, I mean the real world. At one point of time in my life I forgot what real life really was. I used to get totally indulge into the game. I used to spend hours in completing levels and getting ranked at a prestigious rank. It is like a yarn of many individual threads tangled together, if you pull one string the others used to get their shapes changed, guess that's what happened to me. At certain point, I no longer was Taki; I was completely an unknown person. Frustrated, exhausted and depressed. But still couldn't resist myself from being in touch with the CaronStrap. 
        Now let us be together and find what were the possibilities which were faced by me in real world as well as the VR world. Guess we will indeed have great time in revealing the adventures which I had!

Taki Suzuno, a boy in his teenage; gets too involved in video gamings  and an unseen romance. But the romance took his life to a new level. Weaved into his deep emotions, and challenges yet to come which needs to be conquored. Will he be able to achieve all or loose all... Gotta wait and watch

From 2030-2060, Virtual Reality took the world by storm. The first full-dive game by Narmack Studios managed to be a revolutionary step towards an immense change in the way gamers play. It encouraged gamers from all around the globe to get out of their seats without having to move a muscle. 

Even though Narmack's Virtual Set only supported up to three of the human senses, gamers were brimming with extreme contentment, for this was the first time in history they've visited a world like a video game. After the release of Overworld Virtual Online [OVO] by Narmack studios in 2030, around 2040, another amazing game was dropped by this same studio. A game that enhanced OVO's three supported senses, A game that mesmerized thousands of players, A game that made people hand up their money with no regrets...this game was called...

 Eternal Virtual Online [EVO]!

Eternal Virtual Online was essentially described as a game with infinite levels. But to correctly contradict this premise, there weren't any levels at all. In EVO, the devs made it in a way that encouraged players to make levels for themselves. With the many quests, tasks, dungeons, cultivation opportunities, Systems, and real-life mechanics, this was ought to be an easy feat. Additionally, mature adults, and none-gamers, were more than welcome to EVO. This is because the game was much closer to a second world than an actual game. Upon playing it for an hour, players wanted to spend more time in EVO, and refused to log off. 

Furthermore, none-gamers had the opportunity to enjoy the game as an ordinary civilian without any magic-use, or gamer-like choices. In other words, the game was for everyone.  


Unlike its predecessors, EVO transitioned the game-like environment much closer to real life. In a decade, Narmack Studios had made a considerable amount of money from their previous full-dive game. Fairly, they invested most of this money into EVO. Since a huge amount of the world's population were already supporters of Narmack Studios, a new system was introduced in the new game. 

This System was called the Import Export Currency, Conversion, And Redeem [IECCR]. This game mechanic allowed players to convert, export, or redeem in-game funds into actual money, and vice-versa. Its main purpose was to lure in more players. When this feature was released, people realized that it was much easier to make money with this system, and started leaving their real-life jobs. And to sum this up with the disabled people and gamers who also left real-life for EVO, the majority of the world's population was residing in Eternal Virtual Online.

Some years later, around 2050, the world became a quiet place. With people in pods, empty streets—everyone was running away from their problems in return for an easier life in EVO. Importantly, at this time, Earth was already facing mass pollution, prolonged years of quarantine due to diseases, and many other predicaments, hence the reason why everyone wanted a second chance at life. 

When it was 2050, everyone expected Narmack to drop EVO 2 which was introduced years ago, but every year, they kept postponing the release. And after the most recent postpone, a reckless gamer appeared. Keep in mind that this EVO player wasn't new. In fact, he had several appearances in other games, and he always carried the same username, and similar character designs every time. This player was notorious for 'breaking' games without even hacking, and many deemed him a threat in the great world of EVO. This hazard did things like figuring out ways to inflict great harm unto his opponent's real-life body, and he made the most questionable in-game decisions ever. 

Furthermore, this misfit among all, slowly made a name for himself, and he did whatever he pleased in the game. He was mainly known for his great in-game strength and he always managed to seize the number one spot on the Cultivator's Leaderboard.  Even the game creatures took measures to satisfy the many people reporting this infamous player. And after many temporary bans, this hazard always made a grand return. 

This formidable player...

was known as...

The Game-Breaker...

「 I haven't played games for two weeks. Ha~, thankfully, I had finished my transcript earlier. 」
 
Looking at the game package, Kitamura Gram dusted the cover excitedly.
 
「She said she had so much fun in the game, I wonder what she was doing now...」

Because of the school work, he had not allocated many brain cells to understanding Kaede's words about the game since it felt unreliable to him. He thought, his girlfriend won't possibly become a headache for the developers if some of her words were true.

「 It's kinda exciting now that you think about it! 」

He would have more time alongside his girlfriend, and it was so exciting. They were childhood friends. He confessed his love and they became a couple, although; it was awkward transitioning into a relatively close relationship but aside from holding hands, he hasn't done that much. Through this game, he had the chance to do more stuff since his very shy girlfriend doesn't easily budge with his proactive move but might in-game.

「 He~he...」

At the label of the newly bought Virtual Reality Gaming Device were people holding swords and staff fighting a dragon of some sort. The title above the package was in a bold letter, New World Online written in colorful letters.

It was the VRMMO a Virtual Reality Massive Multi-player Online Game! A recent addition to the world's game genre. Although, it had been decades since the VR technology had been in works, comparing it from today's Virtual Reality that had leaped in technology isn't comparable to the old one that was a just a garbage AR he knew.

Because of that, the popularity rapidly increased in sales, and Kaede has bought the gaming software for him since he was busy doing his school activities although he was the one that invited her to play the game. 

After looking at the game manual, he opened the box containing the VR helmet and removed the dust around.

「 So the game time is 6 days in an all-nighter? That's an epic time dilation!」

He wondered how they could do this, and as an old-school player in RPG games, he hadn't thought that VR games had come to this point were compressing time is easy as baking a pie. Playing games while not having demerits in people's health since it counted as sleeping. 

What a wonderful technology, a very suitable one for a gamer like him. An excited nodding appeared on his face.

「Humu~humu, lets me start, so I had to configure my status. It's a typical game mechanic but I wonder what type of build should I make?」

「I remember Kaede saying she had done a full defense build? An overpowered one at that, but she's unreliable.」

She was a cute ditzy girl that wasn't very good at games and though he hadn't seen her play, her stories about her ventures in the game, at least eased his mind while making the school activities appointed to him.

He plugged the hardware and tumble on his bead before putting the helmet on. Although he had played many games in the past, all of them were using computer software. It was his first time playing a VRMMO, but he was knowledgeable in RPG games.

Gram started his first configuration.

(I hate being in pain, so I think I'll make a full defense build Fanfic.)

Kitamura Gram decided to play the VR game with his girlfriend Kaede Honjou and their best friend Risa Shiromine.

[ New World Online ]


Tried out a VR game? Of course they became too overpowered!

The story will follow the flow of the cannon from the web novel albeit had an impactful changes to the course of the story.
