Infinity Online

The dark stary sky veil the infinite darkness of the universe.

A figure can be seen looking at the endless darkness with a wrathful gaze.

"... If only... if only I was stronger if only I was a little faster, of I know you suffered in their hand if...".

If, if, and if, a single word showed his immense grief.

The sadness and regret fill his heart, and a bitter taste is still lingering in his mouth.

Countless corpses of his comrades, friends, and even stranger can be seen all around his surrounding. The blood forms a river filled with death and dread.

Looking at the corpse of a girl in his hand, tears dripped from his face. He determined he determined that if he has a second chance he will change everything.

Today marked the time when the world ends.

Today marked is the first time where the strongest being cries.

Today something will change for the better or worse.

Tuesday, 21st of October, 2099.

"The first-ever fully immersive VR game has been released.

On just the released day, a million copies have been sold worldwide.

The game is said to be an innovative and one-of-a-kind game that runs on a quantum computer.

The game's developer said that they have simulates a world with magic and supernatural for thousands of years to see what will happen.

But the director decided to make the simulation a game for commercial purposes and now it is the most anticipated game in history.

What do you have to say, John"

The newswoman looked to her side.

John looked at the camera and said

"Yes, the game is a fantastic work of human technological advancement, and I think the game will serve as a test of human technology.

The game can't be run on any old VR headset so you have to remember to buy an official Infinity VR headset.

I heard that they even have live support on a Superior-Tier VR Capsule to keep users healthy and energetic without eating or drinking, I personally don't have any information on how Origin Company did that but it is still a wonderful piece of human technology-"

The news goes on for a while talking about various news and tech about the game Infinity Online, Infinity Online isn't the first game to have fully immersed VR, most of the news is just extravagant fact at the end of the day.

But the game has gained itself a huge fandom, with almost a billion people and a lot of small to big companies also invested in the game.

Roy Ackerman looked at the TV screen dazed remembering his past life filled with obstacles and hardships.

"...Nobody knows why those greedy corporate see in this game, but I know... this isn't a game", Roy looked at the TV screen and muttered.

"What did you say?", A cute girl sitting beside Roy looked at him curiously.

"No is nothing, Anna", Roy shakes his head with a smile.

"Why did you suddenly interested in games? I thought you said that we shouldn't play games all day and have to study hard to have a better future or whatnot." Anna stared at Roy with a suspicious gaze, her sharp eyes piercing through Roy's heart as is indeed his word.

"N-Nothing, I just thought since we have a TV we should watch together like a family!", Roy panicked and spouse some nonsense that even he didn't believe.

"Hm~... ok keep your secret", Anna then stands up and goes to the kitchen.

"I will prepare breakfast now, go wash the clothes they smell..., especially the sock", Anna looked at Roy with suspicion in her eyes.

Remember what his past self this last night Roy blushed, 'Goddamit Roy, I know you are a young and healthy adult but let your sister find out? Jesus!', Roy laments his bad luck to regress to this day.

"Y-yes ma'am", Roy stuttered in embarrassment.

He hurriedly goes to his room and cleans it until he can't even see a speck of dust which he can't see normally with his eye. He then takes his clothes and put them into the washing machine.

'Now that I think about it, it took me two years before I played the game and officially become a Super Rookie. I can try to buy the cheapest VR headset now but it's still too expensive... whatever I will try my best to save up money. I will only late a couple of days of progress, it shouldn't put a much of a disadvantage.'

"Breakfast is done!", A sweet voice called him when he still busing hanging the wet clothes on the clothesline.

"Coming!". Like that the morning passed peacefully.

"Hey, chief!", A young woman in her twenties speaks to an older man.

"What is it, Maria", The chief was still on his computer and typing lines of codes.

"Chief, it looked like there is a new structure in Infinity Online's Novice Town", Maria handed her superior a file containing a weird structure in a hologram.

The structure is a combination of a Chinese pagoda and an Aztec temple, which make it seem out of place but the chief didn't think much about it since the game isn't based on reality anyways.

But the chief was annoyed.

Jesus! Did they just give me another project just on the game release day? Do they want me dead or something!", On the chief face black circle can be seen on his two black eyes, and his hair was disheveled with a cup of coffee still hot on his table.

"Ah! No that isn't the case Chief, they have already coded the entire thing and its events, we only need to find a place to put it in.", Maria said quickly

"Huh! Do I look like a designer? I am a fucking programmer, I don't even know how this game even got released this soon", Shaking his head, he said again.

"Just put it in as an easter egg with the Mandela Dungeon"

"'Ight, 'ight, chief", Maria said in a pirate-like accent.

"Can you take this job seriously for one Maria"

"But we are making a game, we should have fun when making a game.".Maria said in a serious voice.

Then Maria jogged out of the office before the chief could say anything.

"Tsk, how can this company be so unreliable!", resigned to his fate the chief started to code for the next update of the game.

I woke up in an ancient structure that looked like my favorite resting place when I was alive.

But now after killing myself by courting death herself... and several other gods, I'm sure I was dead. Well, I should be dead but I'm not.

The last thing I remembered was hugging my sister when suddenly... I was pierced by my sister's... hand...

'Those damn gods! they dare to use my sister's body to kill me! Do they have no morals, ah wait they don't', Feeling agitated by the surge of information before my death I didn't realize that I shouldn't be able to think at all.

'Wait a minute, how can still think that isn't possible, those gods wouldn't be so careless to let me an anomaly survive even with a speck of consciousness.'

I looked at my surroundings except for a door that shouldn't be there originally there isn't any change to my former 'home'.

I stand up... at least I tried to but I can't, I can't feel my legs, my arms, or my heartbeat, even my soul didn't move!

"Wait what I can't move anything. Am I really only a speck of consciousness left behind because of those God's carelessness?"

I try using my Conscious Sense to examine my condition.

And I'm honestly was flabbergasted, I'm reduced only to a ball of Origin Power, I didn't even have consciousness.

This ain't right I can't think without consciousness how can think with just a mass of Origin Power.

Before I can't solve my situation, a panel appears in front of my sight.

[Deteced an anomaly in Infinity Online]

[Scaned anomaly...]

[Detected that the anomaly has consciousness and intelligence]

[Initiated protocol 927...]

[You, the anomaly will have two choices: (Sign a contract with the Universal Will) or (Completed annihilation){note: even God at their peak will die}]

'First of all WHAT THE FUCK, second of all WHAT THE FUCK and third of all do I even have a choice?.'

[Decision in 10]

[9]

[8]

...

[4]

Before I could even process the information the countdown has almost over. If I were to have my previous brain, 10 seconds could be days for me, but I didn't have it so I have to choose fast.

[3]

'Fuck! Ok, ok I choose to sign the contract'

[You have chosen to sign the contract with Universal Will]

[Here is the contract]

A list coat in a golden hue appears before my eyes, it has a total of 10 conditions.

Seeing the list the only words I could utter was.

'Shit... I got scammed'.

Author: Any VR game has to end with 'Online' if it wants to be a good story lol.

Anyway prepare for an interesting twist later on in this series since the normal trope of a game that isn't a game is only the based... which is a bit basic but give me a slack will ya, I'm only a newbie author with a dream.

I MyxZora have a dream! (Jojo Golden Wind intensified)
