Chapter 0 - Prologue

"Myo-ssi, I got you your coffee."

"Thank you San-ssi."

I took long, palatable sip of the coffee, gulping down till it was all gone. 

I have only 2 days until the deadline for the new project.. am I going to be able to finish it in time..?

Ping!

My phone lit up, and a notification popped up on the screen.

It was for the game, 'Eternal Realm'.

Eternal Realm is a famous and well-liked game, acknowledged by various streamers because of its unique gameplay and its interesting spin on generic features such as re-enchanting and character attributes. 

As a result, the game gained a massive audience, that would share their tips about defeating difficult bosses, or discovering glitches within the game, which would get patched within a week.

I've played this game for 3 years, continuing on even when the fanbase had diminished by a half after a year.

 

[cerao103: Thank you for suggesting a new skill for the game 'Eternal Realm', and I would like to implement into the game.]

The skill I requested was haemokinesis.

Since I was young, I was obsessed with fiction where characters could manipulate blood with their mind, and I was fascinated with the idea of conjuring up weapons made of blood. I thought it would be interesting for my favourite game to include an ability that I hadn't seen in most games.

[damsoyiu: Thank you creator-nim, I'm enjoying the recent update, is there anything the community can expect coming up that you'd tell me?]

I put my phone down, focusing back onto my work and avoid getting caught by my boss, who usually patrols at random times.

Ping!

Another notification popped up on the screen.

[cerao103: Glad to hear you're enjoying the new update, with the question you asked. I have something major coming up soon, that I hope you'll enjoy.]

Something that I'll enjoy? Besides from creator-nim including haemokinesis, what would I enjoy? A new map? More quests?

[damsoyiu: Thank you, I'm very intrigued at what could be coming up soon. I'll be intently waiting for the major announcement.]

I smiled once I finished the sentence, I mean more updates for my favourite game? It meant that I had something to do after work.

[cerao103: You're welcome, I thank you for dedicating your time to playing this game for 3 years. I'll make sure to give you a gift.]

.. Huh?

Server? Is this a.. game display? Am I going insane? I should limit my game time. But.. it looks.. very familiar.

Loud screams bellowed from the office, I whipped my head to the noise.

"Do-Does anyone here see that-that floating display box!?"

"I see that too..!"

So everyone else can see it too? This display looks like an exact replica from 'Eternal Realm', but that can't be right. Why would the game I play become a part of real life?

Myo Dae: 

Age: 24

Height: 184cm

Class: Warlock

Sponsor: __

Art: Haemokinesis

.. Is that my character file? How do I have Haemokinesis-?

.. This can't be the major update that creator-nim was talking about. From the fiction books I read, all the items you had from the game should have transferred to the real world.. so why do I have nothing?!

I tapped the Ability 'Haemokinesis'.

It was obvious that the power had to come with liability.. it is overpowered but..

Does that mean the game, 'Eternal Realm' is becoming real?

Objective: Defeat 50 Monsters;

Before the end of the week, failure to do so will result in death.

Hasn't the game's difficulty increased by a lot?! The penalty is death?!

This just got a whole lot harder.
