Rebirth

"I'm really back."

Yi Yun was dumbfounded as he looked around, the high school uniform he was wearing, and the watch that showed that it was still June 10, 2045.

In this year, virtual reality technology is not new. It's been around for almost eight years, and all the games in the world have basically moved into virtual reality games.

What was surprising was: At exactly 00:00 on June 11, 2045, a game called (Game of The Universe) suddenly went viral on the internet without anyone knowing where it came from.

The game claims that it is not an ordinary game, but a second world that connects the entire universe. It doesn't stop there, the game also claims that the power in the game can be brought to the real world.

Of course, no one on earth believes this great claim.

However, because the game did look really interesting, there were still enough people who downloaded it to play it. And Yi Yun as a fanatic gamers is no exception.

And well, even though no one believes the claim of the game, gamers who play the game still have to admit that the game is truly amazing.

Not only is the game world immense, it also gives off a very real feeling.

It wasn't until the next day when the people playing the game stopped playing, only then did they realize that the game's claims weren't mere nonsense.

Even though their level was still very low and their strength was still very weak in the game, when they returned to the real world, they really found that their bodies were completely different from ordinary humans.

Those who became Warriors in the game felt that their body strength suddenly jumped, while those who became Mages could suddenly use magic in the real world where spiritual matters were almost unbelievable.

When all this became known, the world that originally didn't care was immediately shaken by the fact that could hardly believe it.

And the game also causes almost all life on earth to move to the game.

Of course, there are still rules in the game that prevent the people on earth from being able to fully live there. For example, the game is actually only accessible four days a week. If someone accesses the game from Monday to Thursday, the next three days that person will no longer be able to access the game.

However, even then it still made all the rich use their money to hire people including top gamers to help them level up in the game.

Even though the laws in the world were still in effect, it had almost become a mere display ever since people began to possess powers beyond the limits of human strength.

Not a few of the people who have that power, use their power to commit various crimes in the real world.

Yi Yun himself was one of the most powerful gamers at that time.

He was known as the Flame Emperor because he was a fire-type Mage who always fought on the front lines.

In terms of strength, Yi Yun must have been in the top thirty in the past. He was one of the people who made it to level 90.

Don't underestimate that ranking. While Yi Yun relied on his abilities as gamers to reach that rank, most of the people above him were in fact rich and powerful people who used their wealth to hire professional gamers.

It is not known whether they were forced or not. However, the professional gamers who were famous in the past almost all ended up working these rich and powerful people. Something that Yi Yun and many other gamers really regretted.

Fortunately, since the beginning he was a gamer, Yi Yun had always kept his identity secret. It wasn't because he wanted it, but because of the rules his mother had made.

With the help of his older sister who is a very skilled programmer and hacker, Yi Yun managed to hide his identity even from the game company he played with.

Yi Yun's family only consisted of three people. He, his mother, and his older sister.

Yi Yun has no father. He and his sister were born from sperm donors.

Both came from different fathers. While Yi Yun was truly Asian, Yi Yun's sister was a mixture of Asian and European.

As for who their father was, only their mother knew. And it was rule number one in their family not to ask who their father was.

In today's world, women who are not married but have children are no longer taboo, especially for successful women.

Yi Yun's mother herself was a successful businesswoman. She may still not reach the level of the super rich who have hundreds of billions of dollars. But in the international city, Shanghai, where they live, Yi Yun's mother still ranks among the top 300 richest people in the city.

"Oh... It's very late. I have to go back and tell mom and sis about this." Yi Yun spoke as he looked at the sky getting dark before he started running down the sidewalk.

Currently Yi Yun was on his way home from school.

Even though Yi Yun who returned from the past was quite an astonishing thing, he had no intention of hiding it from his mother and older sister.

There is a deep closeness and trust in their family.

The most important; The reason why Yi Yun could return to the past also couldn't be separated from his mother and sister roles.

Yi Yun returned of course not because of something unknown like what happens in novels. In reality, Yi Yun made it back because he along with his mother and older sister managed to obtain one of the most valuable items in the game.

According to rumors, the game was created by a mysterious existence in the universe. It is said that this mysterious existence can shake the entire universe. Just repeating time for life on earth was certainly not something difficult for that mysterious existence.

Of course, those were just rumors that were starting to spread from the NPCs in the game. Whether or not it is true is still unknown because before Yi Yun returned, the people of earth still couldn't defeat the final boss guarding the door to the universe.

And one of the main reasons why Yi Yun chose to return was actually also because of that final boss.

According to the analysis of many people, there is no way for people on earth to defeat the final boss.

The reason for that was because the power in the game was too divided among the people. Since the rules of the world have started to change, no one wants to back down and share their strength with others.

And because of that, an item that could send a person back in time finally appeared, which ultimately ended up in Yi Yun's hands after a fierce scramble.

Of course, another reason Yi Yun didn't hesitate to return to the past, it was because there was still a way to recover the memories of his mother and older sister as well as some friends who helped him provided he could beat the final boss.
