Aryan Verma, a pro eSports gamer, is the undisputed champion of the world's best VR MMORPG game, "Overlord’s Arena." But one day, he receives a mysterious VR headset from an unknown company. Out of curiosity, he wears it, and the game begins… literally!

 NPCs aren’t just codes; they think like real humans!

Real-world Impact – Every action in the game affects reality!

Player One: Last Chance

Beyond the door lay a massive battle arena, its floor stained with blood. A metallic voice echoed:

"Welcome, Player Aryan Verma. Combat Trial Phase 2 Begins."

I saw three enemies standing before me—a humanoid robot, a shadow assassin, and a giant lizard beast.

[New Objective: Eliminate All Opponents]

I quickly checked my health and stamina. I needed a weapon, or this fight was impossible.

Just then, a holographic crate materialized before me. I rushed to open it—

[Loot Acquired: Basic Energy Blade]

A sleek, blue-glowing sword materialized in my hands.

"Now, the real game begins!"

The three enemies charged at me simultaneously.

I had to dodge, parry, and counterattack strategically. The Shadow Assassin vanished into thin air, while the Robot fired rapid energy blasts. The Lizard Beast charged with brute force.

I needed an edge. A new skill activated—

[Skill Activated: Enhanced Reflexes]

My speed and reaction time doubled. Predicting the Shadow Assassin's movement, I slashed my energy blade in the perfect spot. A critical hit!

But now… the Robot and the Lizard Beast were both preparing to attack at full power.

The robot's arm transformed into a powerful energy cannon, charging up an attack. Meanwhile, the Lizard Beast roared, its scales glowing as it prepared to unleash a devastating tail swipe.

Think, Aryan! Use the System!

[New Ability Unlocked: Dash Boost]

I activated it instantly, dashing toward the Robot before it could fire. With a quick sidestep, I avoided the energy blast and struck its exposed circuits.

[Critical Damage Inflicted]

The robot sparked wildly before collapsing, leaving only the Lizard Beast.

It charged, its massive claws swiping at me. I barely managed to roll away, but my stamina dropped by 30%.

[Skill Chain Unlocked: Blade Fury]

I gripped my sword tightly, feeling power surge through me. My blade glowed brighter, moving at speeds faster than before. I unleashed a rapid combo attack, slicing through the beast's weak points.

With a final powerful strike, the Lizard Beast collapsed.

[All Opponents Defeated - Trial Completed]

Panting, I looked around as the battlefield faded away. A new message appeared before me—

[Welcome to the Next Level]
