Within the popular VRMMORPG "New Genesis", there was a ranker by the name of Arthur Holmes, commonly known by his in-game alias “Merlin”. 

Arthur was one of the few original beta testers still playing after 30 years, he was originally a ranker, a player whose entire goal was to stay at the top, ahead of everyone else.
However after 15 years he sacrificed his player ranking in search of knowledge.

Arthur became a lore hunter, a player who indulges himself with the world's vast lore and unexplored history, preferring to uncover the world’s secrets rather than endlessly fighting monsters.

At the age of 48, 30 years after the game came out, Arthur uncovered the greatest secret of all, and yet, ironically, his negligence in levelling up was the one thing holding him back from realising his goal, he knew he would never be able to catch up to the rankers, a gap of 15 years was Impossible to overcome.

If only he could restart…

Restarting From Genesis

"Date?" The rest of the group turned to Maria with curious eyes.

"Wh-- What do you mean date? We're not dating." Maria blurted out, she seemed to be getting somewhat flustered.

"Who said anything about dating?" Arthur asked with a grin.

The rest of the group picked up on the new topic and ran with it, causing Maria's cheeks to turn bright pink. She was eventually saved when the developers opened the door and requested the first group to enter.

The briefing was small, but it mostly focused on the fact that everything was back online, along with a couple small changes that didn't really affect the first group. The briefing ended quickly and the group was ushered towards their capsule room.

Arthur noticed that he didn't really get any strange looks, so they either hadn't noticed the changes yet, or just didn't care.

A little while later. everyone had entered the capsules and logged in.
