Chapter 2: Unexpected Timeline

The rain continued to fall from the dark sky, making a "clattering" sound on the ground.

There were only countless high-rise structures and the stench of industrial waste gas in the air; there was no clear water, green mountains, or bright starry sky in the sky.

"What's the situation?"

Lurna was a little confused. Where was he?

He did not remember that there was such a city in the plot. Could he have guessed wrong?

Then suddenly, cold sweat began to flow from his back.

It would be an issue if he made the incorrect guess. All of Lurna's prior confidence was predicated on his understanding of the plot, and if he didn't, the upcoming situation would be extremely problematic.

Just as he was confused, the system's prompt appeared again.

[World loading completed, player character template established.]

[Name: Lurna Chavez]

[Mental Strength: 3]

[The template creation is completed! ]

[Side Mission: Non-mandatory Tasks; completion can be rewarded; failure to complete has no effect on return.]

[Complete the side quests to earn points, which can be used to customize your equipment or talent for specific purposes.]

[Ding, Side Mission 1: Make a YGGDRASIL character!]

[Mission reward: 100 points]

Lurna couldn't help but be surprised by the vast number of prompt boxes that suddenly appeared, and after carefully reading it, the entire person was initially silent for a while, and then his body began to tremble vaguely.

Things were somewhat greatly out of his expectation.

He originally thought about how to escape the protagonist or how to hold the protagonist's thighs, but what he never expected was that he would actually arrive to the timeline before the plot began.

You must know that the main character went to the other world only after the service was closed, and with him came a power comparable to that of a natural disaster.

If you join the guild where the protagonist is, then...

Lurna does not quite dare to even think about it.

[Return Timer: 4380d: 23:59!]

More than 4,000 days?

Looking at the return countdown in front of him, Lurna seemed to have some understanding of what was going on.

If he remembered correctly, YGGDRASIL seems to have been in service for twelve years at the end of the plot, which means that his return time and the game's closing time overlap.

This...

He seems to have won the lottery.

Lurna's expression went from melancholy to shock to ecstasy, possibly because to the rain situation, which caused the people around him to not have the time to look at him with extra eyes, so he didn't look too different.

After a few deep breaths, Lurna reached out and wiped a handful of rainfall, not knowing why he felt the rainwater was releasing a terrible odor in his heart.

[Identity information has been issued!]

Lurna suddenly had another set of memories appear in his head as the system's voice sounded.

This memory included his own residence and all the information he had in this world.

After pondering for two seconds to review his memories, Lurna moved his steps towards his "home".

Because there might be a virtual helmet "he" left behind!

In that regard, crossover is truly remarkable. After all, he seemed to have won a lottery. His identity in this world was quite good. His father was one of the major developers of YGGDRASIL and his mother was the daughter of a top-rich person in Japan.

As he wasn't far from "home", and by using his memories, Lurna soon arrived at a lavish mansion.

When he arrived at the residence, the space was still plain, clutter-free, and equipped with basic essentials, few sets of expensive air purifying masks, a table on which fresh fruits and vegetables were lying.

His parents apparently left him this home after they died, with their inheritance and all of his "grandpa's" company owned by his mother, plus the monthly allowance he received from his "grandpa," allowing him to live comfortably even though he did not work.

But then again, this world is more depressing than Lurna thought.

There was basically no communication between people, everyone seemed to be in a hurry, and after a glance at the time, it was mid-10 am, but the sky outside was still dim and lightless.

The pollution in this world is far more serious than he thought.

At just this moment, Lurna can feel a burning sensation in his lungs.

No wonder the protagonist did not have a trace of attachment to this world after crossing over.

After all, even a fit individual from his previous life would have been compelled to become ill if they had spent a lot of time in this environment.

Off topic!

Lurna entered the utility room and looked around for a while before discovering a helmet that was somewhat dusty.

The appearance is very similar to that of the anime. But judging from his memories, this helmet might be the one used by his father, but Lurna did not care as he was in quite a rush to find out how many years it had been since YGGDRASIL had been open.

After picking up the helmet, Lurna reached out and touched the back of his neck, and really felt the location of an interface.

Lurna is a little uneasy about himself having such a computer-like interface.

But anyway, there is no need to care so much. Compared to other worlds, this world is already a paradise, although the environment is almost dead, but not completely dead.

Lurna only experienced a brief period of hazy consciousness at the time of insertion, after which the entire individual appeared to have entered a new world.

"Welcome to YGGDRASIL, adventurer!"

"Here you will experience an experience like no other!"

"First of all, please create a character of your own!"

[Create Character in: 00:10:23]

It's not open yet?

Lurna couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He seemed to have come a little too early.

But this is good because he can now plan some of his future activities.

Although you can't create a character now, you can check what kind of character you can create.

Humans, Orcs, Elves, Undeads, Slimes, Demons, Insects, Angels, Fallen Angels, Double Phantoms, Succubus, Vampires, Machine Races, Demons....

Lurna was a little perplexed because there were so many different character templates.

Each race has different preferences. For example, undead are naturally attracted to magic, while orcs are more compatible with warrior-type strength professions.

Even rangers, thieves, ninjas, etc., occupations correspond to different species.

Of course, it's not that you can't convert undead to warriors, but I'm afraid the upper limit is not as high as orcs.

After looking at the races, Lurna went to check out the most distinctive system in YGGDRASIL, the class system.

Unlike traditional online games, YGGDRASIL has its own system for leveling.

For example, if a human turns into a mage, then the mage and human are two superimposed classes.

Lurna had to admit that the person who designed this game was a genius, as this system allowed not only for the game's diversity, but also for its relative balance and playability.

As it can be guessed from the title, YGGDRASIL mainly refers to Norse mythology and has nine separate worlds based on it which are: Asgard, Álfheim, Vanaheim, Niðavellir, Midgard, Jötunheim, Niflheim, Helheim, and Múspellsheim.

Just as Lurna was thinking about which race to choose a new notification sounded in his head.

[Create Character in: 00:5:00]

"Players can now formally begin creating their own custom characters!"

Just as Lunia was about to select his race and class, a new message popped up in front of him.

"It has been detected that the player is using a developer helmet."

"Searching data..."

"Player is not found to be a developer."

"Would you like to continue? If so, all of your levels, equipment, and talents will be reset, but your starting race and job class will remain the same, and you can still take advantage of developer perks. Alternatively, you can enter the developer code of the helmet to pick up where you left off. "

"Continue" After all, Lunia didn't know the developer code, and as far as he knew, his "father" was a nerd who always desired the most powerful things, so he was certain that the race and class picked by his father would not be weak, and Lunia was also greatly attracted by the developer perks.

"Resetting character levels, equipment, and talents"

"Character successfully created!"

"And who would have believed that such a race existed in YGGDRASIL? Well, my "father" didn't disappoint me in the least."

I will publish this 3 chapter per week, the next chapter will be published the upcoming Monday.
