World Online
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.

Final Breath
The lighter the stone got, the more Jake could see Father Joseph's life drain away.
Ding!
Everyone was drawn to the stone itself, which had completely basked in this holy light, to see that it had completely lost all of the darkness that it contained within.
Instead, all it had was that gray crystal.
"Now, we must destroy this." Father Joseph said. But what he said could be heard by only the three people who were closest to him: Jake, Ganshin and Annie.
His voice was too faint for anyone to hear.
"Father! What happened to you!" Annie cried with shock as she finally took a look at Father Joseph.
And then, everyone could see that their beloved leader of this caravan was not exactly in the best of health. He looked older than he had ever been, and his eyes kept fluttering, like he was struggling to keep them open.
"Ga- Ganshin." Father Joseph opened his mouth, and only whispers came out.
