Beyonders World

It was a quiet night with little stars twinkling in the sky, Kevin Christophe standing casually in the corner of the room that had been designed for a reunion, to be more precise, a reunion with his high school friends.

Kevin swung a glass filled with bright red wine, and slightly raised his head when he saw the crowd of people who were mostly twenty year olds, their bright smiles and playful laughter made the room feel warm.

However, he didn't have the same expression or demeanor as he stood in the corner, his eyes staring boredly at them all with indifference, his eyes blinking many times before he let out a sigh.

"What are they really thinking? Ninety percent of them are students on average, don't have their own income, still hope for the help of their parents, but dare to hold this kind of event?"

Kevin felt a little cringy, the money spent to make this event were very large, that can be proven from the wine he was drinking.

"You really don't like such shows, do you?" a subtle voice passed by his ears that were filled with guilt and worry.

Kevin turned to look to the side, his eyes fixed on a young woman who looked to be around twenty-two years old, his expression softened slightly with a faint smile on his face.

"Of course, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have bothered to come, I'd better keep an eye on the stock price." He answered without hesitation.

"Kevin, for some reason I feel that you are being too realistic in this regard, but I don't have the right to lecture you either."

The woman stood beside him feeling tired, his eyes stared coldly as there were several eyes focused on the young blonde woman.

"Being popular isn't a good thing, but I never thought that Alice would be this beautiful, if I'm not mistaken she went to college abroad, right?" Kevin asked as he patted the woman's head gently.

Through Kevin's gentle pats, the woman slowly got better and the cold gaze died down.

"That's right, I also came here just to meet Alice, but she was a little troubled when a lot of people with a certain purpose were surrounding her, I really wanted to drag her away from that place," the woman replied angrily.

"Then try to wave goodbye to her, you're her best friend after all." Kevin smiled as he made a suggestion.

The woman thought for a bit before nodding in agreement. "That seems like a great idea, you are really the best person, my husband."

Kevin flinched as he watched the woman leave again to meet her friend, Alice.

"She really is very brave, but what can be done?" Kevin shook his head.

That woman is his wife Irene Adler. An average appearance with long black hair down to her waist, faint pink irises, and a face that could be said to be quite pretty with an advantage over her shapely body, could be said to be quite hot.

After officially marrying Kevin at the age of twenty, Irene has a firm and courageous nature in taking action, especially when it relates to her household and her husband.

Also, it was for this reason that Kevin volunteered to accompany her to this reunion, and Irene also came here just to meet her best friend, Alice Helder.

Ding~

His cell phone suddenly made a sound from his pocket, Kevin blinked and took it quickly.

After checking it, he found that there was an incoming email.

"Beyonders World? Why did they suddenly send an email after a long silence?"

Kevin was a bit shocked and filled with nostalgic feelings, what he meant by Beyonders World was the mmorpg game he had played until now, even when this game had been sinking for a very long time, Beyonders World was still his favorite game.

Also, it's been a year since the update and the forum hasn't been as active as most communities founded by Developers, so Kevin was very surprised to suddenly get an email from the Developer.

[We sincerely apologize to the {Transmigrators} for not keeping up with you for a year, but we would like to inform you that the latest version we have developed will be released soon, so stay afloat in a world filled with mysteries, and experience something new when it all gets 'real']

Kevin suddenly frowned, he was happy that his favorite game would get a new version, but there were words that got him thinking.

'Experience something new when it all gets 'real'?'

He didn't understand the context of these words, unlike the Virtual Reality games that were traded in many places, Beyonders World was a fps game that could be played on computers, so it was because of this that it was unpopular, one might even call it a dead game.

"Is this game developing a Virtual Reality version as well?"

Kevin showed a slight smile on his face, moreover, this game is very different from most fantasy mmorpg games in general, with a mystical feel during the Victorian era that gives a feeling full of mystery, this game seems to show real interactions with high graphics.

"Hey... did you guys receive the same email?"

When Kevin further checked the email received from the game developer Beyonders World, a man immediately asked in a loud and clear voice, so that everyone present could hear it.

"You mean a message from a game developer? If so, then our group also received it."

"Here we also received it, but do you guys know about the game Beyonders World?"

'They received an email from the game developer Beyonders World, too? But why?'

Kevin gave a puzzled look, if you wanted to promote their game, then it didn't have to be via personal email, moreover they all probably didn't follow or even heard of the game Beyonders World, so he started to notice something strange was going on.

They all eventually started to think of it as a simple joke, and thought it was a prank from their friends who wanted to make the site better.

But the atmosphere became tense when a gray mist appeared that filled the entire room.

"H-Hey, whoever it is please stop all this, it's not good to go through this kind of over-the-top prank." One of them spoke with a half frightened face.

Not only him, but all of those present at this event could feel the tension, the sensation filled with tense mystical nuances, and the feeling filled with mysterious existences making everyone tense.

The fog was getting thicker and making Kevin's eyesight less visible, unlike them who were panicking about this situation, he looked confused with a shocked face.

"No... this can't be, the strange gray fog giving off a mystical feel, and the feeling of being enveloped by something mysterious. This feeling is the same as what was described when the game Beyonders World prologue started!"

Kevin came to this statement because of his experience playing the game, but the atmosphere and situation that occurred made him able to draw that conclusion right away, so it's not wrong that this was the situation he experienced when he first played the game Beyonders World.

"No! Irene, I have to find-"

Before he could act, his vision was suddenly blurred by the surrounding mist, the gray fog swirled as if trying to separate the world from Kevin, his body jerked in shock as if he was floating, and his consciousness seemed to be being hit by something very hard.

[The transfer process is in progress, all calculations will be carried out to secure the manual transmission process, so (Transmigrator}'s consciousness will be temporarily disabled]

Messages ringing in his head, Kevin remembers this is the same scene as the initial Prologue, but his consciousness immediately weakens like he's been given sleeping pills.

"Shit!"
