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.

A city in ruins
Surprisingly, the caravan didn't stop mid way. They didn't face any new enemies, and were not stopped by a single opponent as they travelled quite a long way.
The four hours that they walked non stop put quite the toll on everyone, but soon, they had sight of the final goal.
In the air, they could see where they were going. The forest was slowly getting thinner and they were approaching the remains of what used to be a giant city.
They could already see ruined slabs that had a few instructions to the travelers who came through the forest. But those were all but useless now. Who would need to read the instructions to enter a dead city?
Jake marveled as they saw the city gates and the wall that surrounded it. The wall still stood tall even after decades of neglect. There was moss growing all around it, and cracks were visible from even the distance that Jake was at.
As for the city gates, they could no longer protect the city from any intruders.
