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

"Even the princess got hurt this time, look at her hands."

"Yet another failed raid, is it actually that dangerous out there or are they just not that competent anymore?"

"Look at what they're carrying, another town was lost."

"Maybe they left the town to die and robbed it."

"Don't say that, you'll get executed for treason."

Merlin heard the various rumours as the group walked past the crowd, making their way inside the rangers guild. As Merlin entered the building, he received a notification telling him that he had completed the quest.

「You have completed the quest, "A cry for help.", rewards have been delivered.」

Tuli, who was talking to a couple of wounded rangers in the hall, noticed the expedition group that was just entering the building. "Boss, what happened?"

"Tuli, I'll explain in a moment, help our injured out." Callisto ordered, before walking further into the building in order to not block others trying to enter.
