On just another normal Monday, a new virtual reality game called "Evolution Online" launched out of nowhere and took the world by storm. 

People were blown away by the game’s hyper-realistic features and endless adventures. Everyone from small companies to big corporations and governments scrambled to get a foothold on this mysterious video game.

But what they didn't know was that this game was actually a tutorial for the upcoming apocalypse that was about to hit the planet! The game was a precursor to the Earth's first evolution, where mana was going to be unleashed into the real world!

Liam, a high school student who had faced numerous setbacks in his life, turned to 'Evolution Online' in the hope of changing his fate, but instead, he got trapped in the game's twisted world, and things went from bad to worse.

When the apocalypse finally arrived, Liam barely managed to escape, but his situation didn't improve. Along with millions of others, he died a miserable death, unable to fight back and filled with regret.

However, Liam's story didn't end there. He found himself inexplicably transported back in time before everything started! 

Armed with the knowledge of what was to come, Liam was determined to become the strongest and most powerful player, unleashing destruction upon the world that had ruined him before! This time, things were going to be different!

Re: Evolution Online

From what Liam could tell, it was clearly the egg that was kind of refining the fire essence from the lava and he was stealing bits and pieces of it.

Liam lifted the egg and sat down on the rock, then placed the egg on his lap. After which, he continued absorbing whatever essence that he could steal from it.

He carried on with this for several minutes without any disturbance.

However, as time passed, the lava started bubbling and gurgling more and a hissing sound echoed in the pool of molten rocks and fire.

Liam quickly placed the egg back on the rock and stood up. Surrounding him on four sides were four lava mambas.

"Hmmm. Did you guys show up because we were stealing your essence?" He grinned and made his move.

After absorbing a little of the fire essence, he was beginning to feel a bit more comfortable in the lava filled hellish place but he was not a fool to think that this would be of any help.
