New Life and Preparation

{Note:Age 24 4.5 years behind Yggdrasil is released}

{Punbun Meatbun}

(Most of the reason why Tyler accepted the new life is fast is because he got memories telling him it's all real and he is a specially trained soldier }

I opened my eyes to see an enormous room with luxurious decorations around me such as a pure-gold chandelier and a fancy bed.

'Where am I and what happened after I got shot? This isn't a hospital.' I thought.

I suddenly felt hungry and weak, to the point that I could barely move but I had more important things to think about.

'What was that robotic voice? Maybe it was because of the tablet, but that only happens in novels.' While thinking, an intense pain suddenly assaulted my head, making me hold it. The rest of my memories came flowing in like a raging river.

I am Tyler, a 24 year old man who was born in a technologically advanced world filled with pollution and companies that exploited and overworked their employees. My parents died early, but they were quite rich, so I inherited around 1billion dollars and now I grew up alone without any close relatives, friends, or acquaintances... the only company I had was a care keeper who left me alone at the age of 18.{Note: A normal ramen meal cost around 2$ because of high inflation. so if he invests he can get some unique things but not be god like and Yggdrasil has some new stuff because of his investments}

After my memories returned, I had a terrible migraine and could not move for over an hour, just sitting in bed. After that I felt better, so I let everything sink in and finally realized that I had been reincarnated due to that robotic voice.

I was grateful, but I needed to eat and get this body into shape, so I got out of bed and put some clothes on and then opened the bedroom door, revealing a hallway full of doors on the sides and a stairway that headed down.

I turned left and started going down the spiraling staircase, because I already knew what I wanted was down the stairs. I could also remember my new look.

I had brown hair with a tint of blonde and a very skinny build. I had blue eyes with a mix of green, causing my eyes to appear one color in different shades of light. Despite being 6'2, I was only around 130 pounds and looked like I was dying of starvation... which was partly true.

After going down the stairs, I went to the kitchen, which was on the left side, It was huge and very fancy like everything else.

I made myself a very high protein and Calorie breakfast, since it was around 10:00 AM, I did some research on this world through my computer. Although I have basic information of this world, this body was shut-in to the max... he did not even know what was happening around the world except for the things that he heard when he was buying food.

There was a type of video game called DMMO-RPG, which stands for Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, which were basically futuristic VR games where one could see and hear things like they were inside the game so this is not like my old world. I already knew this from the pollution and memories, but if I put all of these things together then there is a high probability that this is the Overlord world. After all, there were some DMMO-RPGs with the same names as the ones mentioned in the Overlord novel.

I smiled, but my long unkempt hair that was covering my face made it seem like I was a pervert. Seeing my reflection on my phone that was on the desk, I was shocked… who knew I would be so unlucky to have a creepy look. 'At least I will be handsome once I get a haircut,' I thought. I won't put too much effort in my looks. After all, I will not be in this world for long at most 16.5 years by the research I did, with most of that time being spent playing games.

I finally found YGGDRASIL thanks to my connections (it wasn't advertised). It is going to be released in around 4.5 years, which gives me time to invest a good amount of money, live a good life, get in shape, and play other Dive Games where I can get used to the feeling. Next, I should make some friends and enjoy my free time since I never had that much relaxation time in my old world.

After eating and researching, I started working out and also invested in the company that made YGGDRASIL. I Invested around 50 million for a start, planning to invest later. By looking at my planned spending and predicting the cost after 17 years, I would have spent around 10 Million dollars, including on the game, investing, and bills. Of course, I would give around 100 Million to charity(NOTE: this was added as a fix for a plot hole, in the end it won't matter much since he gains more money anyway so just don't mind it.), since that's the least I could do. I would also keep 15 Million for unforeseen events and the end of YGGDRASIL. I would expect for the developers to reduce the cost for cash items and such near the end of the game to encourage more purchases, which will allow me to obtain more items for less money.

After planning some more, I bought a normal car that wasn't too expensive since I want to spend every possible dollar on YGGDRASIL. Next, I bought the best Dive technology that I could find, which will take a couple of months to arrive. I went out to a gym nearby, although there weren't many... but still, some were high-quality here. At one of the gyms, I bought a membership to get into shape. I want to be as healthy as possible, since it wouldn't be funny at all if I died due to a heart attack or something before the events of Overlord start…

Then after planning some more and setting everything up in my life (which took a month of work and investing) ' During this past month, I received a few emails from the devs of YGGDRASIL that gave me many thanks and asked me what I want. I asked for the ability to play 1 week before the beta testers.

I continued to practice fighting in Dive games and soon 4.5 years had passed by...

__POV (Third Person)___

A man was in a boxing ring. He had short, brown hair and blue eyes that shined when he moved his body in the boxing battle. His body was very chiseled and had muscles all in the right places. He looked around 28 and was obliterating his opponent with quick and powerful punches. Soon, he uppercutted the opponent, knocking his head up, causing the old man watching him to clap and go up to the ring.

The man was around 6'2 and has a slightly handsome face but a very good body "That was great, Tyler, are you sure you don't want to be a boxer? You have the perfect body and movements for it and would become a champion, although boxing is not the trend these days, sadly," the old man said with a sigh and sad face.

Tyler shook his head and said with a solemn tone, "Sorry old man, but I just do this for a hobby to get warmed up and test my muscles... but I send you the money that I had promised for letting me use this place. I'll leave the knocked out guy to you," Tyler said while walking out of the front door.

Old man shook his head and woke up the unconscious man and gave him some cash for being "That guy hits hard but gave good money... but I will never do this again, he almost broke my jaw!" the man said while hurrying out and rubbing his jaw.

The old Man checked his phone to see around $25,000 that was sent to his bank account and he sadly shook his head.

{Old man} "It seems this will be your last visit if you sent this much... well, you were never the type to stick to one thing, hahaha," the old man said before laughing and walking away with a smile.

Later…

___POV CHANGE (First Person)___

I was walking home, eating a bag of meat buns (there were 12 in there, it's a wonder how he kept in shape) while smiling (he really likes meat buns) Boxing gyms aren't open anymore, so I had to pay an old man to let me box in his gym while picking random people to be a punching bag. I paid people who really needed money (there were an uncountable number of people that needed money) but this was my last day doing this hobby... It was almost time for YGGDRASIL to release, and I have a week to test it before the beta testers, so I'll have a head start... but it makes sense with how much money I invested.

After walking for a couple of hours, I arrived home to big hose. I did not like expensive taste so in the end I just bought a normal house in a town full of rich people which is near the city.

I opened the door and saw a living room and some stairs going upwards, while a kitchen and gaming room were behind the stairs and some cats came crawling towards me and rubbing themselves on my pants.

"How are my precious little cats doing? Don't worry, once I'm gone in 12 years, I'll hire a perfect owner to take care of you," I said while petting all of them.

'Time to start my preparations for the New World,' I thought with emotion. I was almost overwhelmed with intense feelings of curiosity, desire and greed, and some sadness, knowing my cats will miss me...
