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

"What the--" Cam suddenly shouted out as Merlin rushed past him with his vines exposed.

Merlin's vines suddenly rushed out in front of him, piercing an undead each and pushing them back as Merlin ripped into an undead of his own.

There were about five more zombies immediately in front of him, and around him, it seemed that everyone was dealing with at least two at that moment, besides Lyonette who was so far away from the group that she was surrounded by roughly twelve that had all started grouping up on her.

It seemed Lyonette was doing plenty of work, as the crowd that Merlin saw earlier had almost halved by the time he rejoined the fight.

Merlin continued moving from target to target without showing any indication of slowing down. His vines had also become proficient undead meatgrinders, dealing damage to several zombies with one swing, which allowed them to rack up more kills over time, and in turn, more experience for their associated soul.
