As the glory days of modern computer rpg games has ended due to the recent technology innovations. Angel, who grew up as an orphan without a last name, decides to finish his final quest inside the game "Erdaian Life". As soon as he had finished his final mission, the heavens surprised him with a new adventure.

I Was Once Known King

After three days of thriving through the forest, we reached a meadow outside the forest. Angel basked under the sun's light and laid down at the grass, enjoying the relaxing windy meadow.

"We'll set camp here for now, it's already about to past noon.", Angel said.

As night came, Angel brought out meat from his subspace pouch and placed it on the fire.

"I'll try it again, body transformation.", Angel declared.

"Don't, do it if you wanna die. Attempting it without protection is going to put you in a vulnerable spot. Even your trusted Qilin won't be able to protect you.", Jean advised.

"I suppose you're right, even summoning the nagas won't help since they'll immediately disappear since I'll need to focus my energy inside my body.", Angel acknowledged as he laid down and looked at the stars.

Unbeknownst to the two of them, eyes were gazing at them from the forest's trees and some hidden at the grass. They slowly approached Angel, without a sound to be heard or a presence to be felt.

Angel's qilin stood up after noticing them and looked around. It's scales bristled, it's mane flared and it's eyes glowed orange as rhythmically stomped it's hooves on the ground, indicating the danger ahead.

"Hm? Why, wha-", Angel's sentence stopped out of surprise.

A sharp arrow imbued with aura pierced through Angel's arm as he stopped it from reaching his eye.

"Ugh, who the hell shot that arrow!?", Angel held his arm as he forcefully removed the arrow from his hand.

Angel widened his sight by spreading his qi, his eyes focused on armed people wearing masks.

"Bandits, it seems they were targeting you since before. I crossed with them once when I moved to my dungeon.", Jean informed.

"To think their arrow pierced my body even after the first body transformation.", Angel replied.

"Don't underestimate this world, people here can possibly be more powerful than the average mobs back in the game and don't forget that we're not in our endgame characters but in the beginning.", Jean explained.

Meanwhile, the bandits took a step back after witnessing Angel notice them.

"This is the second time we've failed to kill our target.", said by a bandit pointing a crossbow at them from the tall grass.

"Don't falter, support me from behind and the rest follow me.", a white haired bandit holding a knife commanded.

The white-haired bandit swiftly moved through the darkness along with the other bandits and attacked Angel. He appeared from the sky and landed at Angel with a knife pointed at his head while Angel barely stopping his arm from reaching him.

"Hoh, to think you stopped my knife. You're atleast better than that necromancer we met.", he said before flashing a few steps back while.

"Before that, it's better to even the odds first. Naga's Embrace.", Angel's pupils sharpened like a serpent's eyes before the six spectral serpents wielding spears appeared.

The bandit slightly surprised at Angel's ability before taking his battle stance, holding his knife pointed at Angel.

"Before I kill you, tell me your name. The name's Silas.", he said.

"Angel, nice to meet you.", Angel replied as he took his stance.
