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.

The Auction Starts
The chatter died down, and everyone's attention was focused on the stage.
On the stage, a provocative woman stood, her jade-like skin was revealed in all the right places, capturing the attention of everyone sitting there.
Next to Jake, the plump man started breathing heavily, and Jake didn't have to turn to know that this man was salivating heavily for the woman.
He shook his head and looked more closely. The lighting on the stand where the items would be placed was too high. With this, any thing placed on the spotlight would just look much better than it was.
And the beautiful woman was also a trick that auctions used. Distracting the players and the other participants with the beautiful woman while they ignored obvious defects in the items presented.
But Jake had to admit that the auctioneer that they brought in this time was stunning, and she attracted more eyes than she should have.
