Prologue(one)

Era, was the first virtual reality ever created at 100% immersion, as stated in beta testing.

Beta testers referred to it as the second world or another reality, but that was just one of many theories that were not taken to heart. The United Nations announced that major conflicts, like wars and others, should be done in Era. On Christmas day that year, the game commenced with 82.3% of the world's population filling the first week. With the emergence of players arriving in their world, the indigenes were shocked on the first day. Still, they became wary, especially at the speed at which players grew. They began calling us "otherworlders" because of our cultivation growth.

After five years of launch, a few players became Nascent Soul Realm, and another two years for a few Grand Formation Realm players, but most of the player base were at late Qi Formation to mid-Gold Rank. Many were satisfied with their rank and stopped cultivating since not all had good talents to continue keeping up the rank. It became satisfying until the system announcement rang in.

[ World Announcement: The merging of two realities will begin in a month]

[ After the timer runs down, the world 'Earth' will be destroyed, merging both virtual body and physical body. Wish you good luck.]

Immediately after the system announcement, the world went into chaos. Businesses started to close, and there was mass recruitment of professional players to many factions and organizations, but that was just the beginning. Two days later, the highest graded prison in the world was broken down, causing widespread panic. More days passed, and chaos spread like wildfire until the month was over, and the merging began. When it ended, "NPCs" forces noticed it. The forces, which were silent, erupted like a volcano and stopped suppressing their greed on our privilege called "system" and talents.

Thus, the massacre started, which was later named THE PURGE.
