Milo Smith was born to fail. Or so he had been told time and time again. He spent his entire life being looked down upon by others.
Being born to a poor family with no background, Milo struggled to survive in the world. In this corrupt world, you either needed to possess money or power to succeed, and Milo had been born with neither.
However, despite this, he never gave up. Through his struggles, he realized he possessed a talent for fighting and threw his everything into developing it. Using his skills he managed to connect with an underground gladiatorial arena where he gave his everything.
Through many difficult fights, Milo managed to bring his family out of poverty and even made a name for himself as one of the youngest successful gladiators at the young age of 19.
However, this was not the life Milo wanted to live. At this young age, he had already spilled blood and even had to take the lives of others. This was not something he was proud of no matter how deserving some of those men may have been.
Despite his desire to quit the lifestyle he found himself in, he was completely unable to as he lacked any other way to keep his family afloat.

Fortunately for him, the launch of a new full-dive VRMMO game has taken the world by storm. With its vivid graphics and shocking realism, the game seems to almost be a living breathing world.
With many people despairing at the current state of the world, this game provides an escape, a second life. Completely dominating the entertainment market, this new game stole the public's heart.
Originally, Milo had no extra money to invest in something like virtual gaming, so he had yet to experience the world. That was, however, until he received that one fateful phone call.
"Hello? Mister Smith? My name is Lenard Kelly from the EcoEnergy corporation. What do you know of the game called Avenfall?"
