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

As they entered the booth, Seraphina noticed that Liam had not one but two beast pets. "You also tamed a wind ripper? Not bad at all!"

"Two pets… your soul strength should be amazing."

She looked at the bird with her scrutinizing eyes and muttered. "Oh. This one is also ready to evolve. How marvelous!"

The fox tried to struggle free from her gasp using this as a chance but unfortunately was not successful.

"What an energetic little fellow!"

"Ah! I didn't notice it before. This little guy is a spirit beast?"

"Oh, my heavens… how long has it been since I have seen one… and that too a youngling at that…"

The trainer quickly forgot about Liam as she started talking to herself and examining the two beasts more closely.

After several minutes, she finally looked up at him but it was only to give him a long list of items. "You need green spotted brittle thorn. Some firewood flowers. Crimson firestone…"

I only know hard work
