The Game!!!

It was a hard-core game with more than thousands of different scenarios and only a very few happy endings. An adventure-action romance game where you have to chase girls and increase affection points with the characters to unlock many routes and scenarios for the adventures.

A game full of Romance, Action, Tragedy, Drama, Gore, and Adventure. It was indeed an extremely violent game.

You have to increase affection points with characters, but more than that, you had to survive. Even a single wrong choice may end up with the death of a certain character or the failure of that route.

This complicated yet interesting game aroused the interest of many. So was the case for Ethan and Mark.

There were many sequels of the game with multiple protagonists. So for the last 2 years of his life on the hospital bed, Ethan spent it playing this game with Mark.

And now for some reason, Ethan was inside the body of someone who is in an extremely similar world to that of the world of [The Holy Dragon Knight.]

'I don't remember any character named Luis Suarez.' Luis understood the reason behind it must have been his death. Which he supposes happened even before the start of the story. 'But there was a mention of Suarez's family in the storyline.'

Before he could think anymore, he heard his doorbell ring. Standing in front of his apartment was a middle-aged man in a butler's uniform.

"Young master, as per My Lady's orders, I'm here to escort you back."

'That was fast.' Luis thought as he walked to the door. Coming out of his apartment, he said, "Let's go."

***

As the car started moving toward the transport junction of Lurandal City. Luis couldn't help but take a look through the window of the car.

'I'm really in a different world.' That thought came to his mind. Though he had known it in the memories of Luis, witnessing it from his own eyes, he couldn't help but marvel at how mystical this world was.

This world, which is also depicted in the game of [The Holy Dragon Knight] is known as Alnaur. Similar to the crimson neighboring planet known as Velmaur.

It was not always like this. 800 years ago, a dimension break occurred, which everyone believed would be the end of the world. But to everyone's relief and horror, the dimension break led to the mixture of two separate worlds from different dimensions, which is now the current world known as Alnaur.

Several humanoid species appeared. At first, things were drastic, everything was chaotic. Humans had no way to counter the powerful humanoid species in this new combined world. Plus, the influx of monsters and mana made everything chaotic.

Over the years, many wars occurred as everyone started adapting to the new world. Millions of people died, and many legends formed and ended. Humans population was now down to 8 billion. They also managed to gain some firm foothold in the new chaotic world as they fought for their survival. Everything remained the same until 50 years ago.

It was the era of 'The Great War'. Where several species band together and fought each other. It was at that time humanity's heroes banded together with the heroes of their allied species and came forward to lead the war to victory and bring an era of peace.

Species such as Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Beast-kin, and many others signed a peace treaty. Since then was the start of the development era. Humans also developed greatly with the technologies of other species.

Now, since the last Great War, the world is at peace. At least on the surface. Because Luis knows once the story starts. The upcoming calamities would eventually come.

"Young Master, we have arrived." Butler's words snapped him out of his thoughts as he noticed they have already arrived at their destination.

A few men came to greet them warmly and took the lead, taking them to the VIP section. Luis' expression was calm, already expecting this kind of behavior. After all, with his family's status, this kind of behavior was normal.

"The transport circle is already prepared, sir." The person who seemed to be in charge here said while leading them to the VIP room.

Entering the room, Luis saw a 4-meter-wide magic circle drawn on the marble floor shining in white light. It was fully charged with magical energy. He knew that it was being fueled by mana stones.

Mana stones are one of the most important resources in this world after the dimensional break 800 years ago. Whether it's technology, mage craft, witchcraft, spell craft, and many others. Mana stones are an essential resource in this world.

'So, this magic circle can teleport me from here to another city in an instant? Amazing!!!' Although Luis had experienced it a lot of times in his memory, which he always found normal, his knowledge of common sense is still affected by his previous life.

'In the game, I always used this magic circle. But using it in real life is unbelievable.' Luis was very excited inwardly, but on the outside, he was as calm as a still lake.

After he and his butler entered the magic circle. It was activated, and they both disappeared from there. In the next moment, the light on the magic circle dimmed, and it returned to normal.

***

Luis opened his eyes and found himself in another room with the same magic circle drawn on the floor.

He knew he had returned home. Inside the Suarez family estate, they have a personal magic circle drawn. Which is normally not allowed to be kept as private property because it is also heavy on the expense side.

This can explain how much influence the Suarez family has. Because Luis' grandfather was one of the heroes who participated in the great war 50 years ago. Though Luis had never met him, neither does he know if his grandfather was alive or not.

Still, the Suarez family's influence is one of the strongest in this country.
