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.

Auction?
As he entered, he saw multiple people here.
That was odd. This was supposed to be a closed off space, and not many players were allowed to come to the forbidden street.
And even among the players, who would dare come this close to the Duke's mansion for a store that didn't seem any special from the outside?
Looking at them closely though, Jake realised that they were not players. They were NPCs. Jake could only see burred out names on them.
That meant that they were either stronger than he was, or they had strong backing within the game. Jake leaned toward the latter.
Looking around, so many people could only mean one thing. There was something big happening within the Flying Pavilion.
He approached one of the many attendants who were walking around.
"I came here a week ago. Was the date of the auction pushed forward? Because I thought that it was going to happen a few weeks later." Jake asked politely.
