In a world where "Treasure World Online" (TWO) is the most popular game, players can find artifacts, treasures, and rare items that can be sold for real money. The game was created by a mysterious genius developer, and millions of people play it to get rich.

Our protagonist is completely broke. He dreams of playing TWO to escape poverty but can't afford the game. One day, he accidentally wins the lottery—but before he can enjoy his new wealth, he gets scammed, leaving him with only a little money. In frustration, he spends his last savings to buy the game.

But something weird happens. Instead of the normal version, he gets a secret Beta Version of TWO, which has:

Exclusive content that no other player has access to.

Unreleased hidden quests, NPCs, and secret locations.

A mysterious system that gives him strange "luck-based" abilities.

On my way to Barbar Shop, I couldn't help but slow down and look around.

The market stalls were filled with rare items—stuff I'd only seen in guides about high-level areas.

> A merchant shouted: "Fresh mana herbs! Only found in the Ireth Peaks!"

Another called out: "Handcrafted shadow daggers! Straight from the Abyssal Caves!"

One more yelled: "Mystic beast eggs! Raise your own magical companion!"

> Me (internally): "These items shouldn't even be in a beginner town…"

I wanted to buy something—anything—just to see how broken this beta version was.

I had just enough for the silk Nina asked for.

> Me (internally): "I'm broke as hell."

I let out a long sigh and walked away before temptation could get the better of me.

A simple wooden sign hung above the entrance, carved with the name Barbar Shop in elegant script.

There. Standing behind the counter.

> Me (internally): "Wait… what!?"

Elves only lived in Laxs Forest, a high-level area.

You had to be Level 90+ to even get near that place.

You needed Forest Blessing just to be allowed inside.

Even the top players barely interacted with elves.

Standing in front of a real, living elf at Level 1.

> Me (internally): "Beta version… you're absolutely insane."

As I stood there, completely stunned, the elf narrowed her eyes at me.

> Elf: "...Are you going to buy something or just stand there?"

> Elf: "You've been staring for a whole minute. I'm losing patience."

> Me (internally): "Damn. She's got attitude."

This elf wasn't just rare—she was arrogant as hell.

> Me: "I'm looking for Clacton Silk. Do you have any?"

> Elf: "Of course we do. Wait here."

She turned and vanished into the back of the shop.

I exhaled, still trying to wrap my head around all of this.

> Me (internally): "An elf merchant. A moving town. Rare items everywhere. Beta version, what else are you hiding?"

I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

This game was on a whole different level.
