Hello there, you might be wondering what I am doing here. Well, let's travel back a little.
In the midst of May, 20XX. The man in his twenties walks right through an alleyway. Once he arrived in his destined location, he stopped and looked up at the towering walls beside him.
"Ha.." He sighs. The other day, he found out that he had a chronic problem, and he is most likely to have just months to live.
In the past few years, he has done nothing but go to his job, and once that's done, he goes home and plays games to escape reality. He was astray, once his parents died, leaving him with no purpose in life.
One of his favorite games is this game that lets you do anything, from fighting monsters, getting good equipment, and even crafting your own weapon and armor.
He became one of the players who hold the top spots, being in the top 5 on the leaderboard. But now that comes to an end.
"At least give me all my legendary weapons with me," he pleaded in silence. The cold wind of the alleyway is the only presence beside him. In his mind, at least it will all end, everything will come to a close, he hopes to see his parents in the afterlife.
He spends the rest of his remaining life playing games, quitting his job, and becoming a total shut-in.
The day comes, and he rests in the lonely room. Waiting for his undeniable death, he closed his eyes as he drifted to sleep, but he felt the pain in his body. The feeling of his body getting burned, stabbed a thousand times.
Then follows the silence, the darkness of the void, the hymn of nothingness. He thought, "Am I in heaven yet?" as he wandered through this vast, empty space.
A sound breaks the silence, and he hears the birds chirping. He opened his eyes and was surprised to see a tree.
"Where am I?" He asked and looked around him. He saw a large number of trees covering the entire horizon.
[System booting up]
A bell sound rings in the ear. He looked around him and found something floating. Something a bit familiar.
"Is this... The Blue Worlds Adventure system status?" He said, and he looked up, he saw a name.
"Kale.. Overlord... why is my game name here?" He asked and then looked around the status bar.
[Name: Kale Overlord]
[Level: 0]
[Skill: Locked]
[Equipment: Alpha 01[Rare], Locked]
[Stash: Locked]
"I'm level 0? Weird.. I'm maxed level.. and locked too.." He then thinks about what is currently happening. He then looked around, scouting the area, but he found nothing.
"Hah.. I will deal with this status later. I should find a way to survive or even do anything right now." He then heads towards the trees to find anything, any trails, or even a road.
In his search, he pondered why he was here and what the purpose of this whole thing was. "I'm sure I died back then. Why is this happening now?" he asked, but he knows no one can answer it for now.
"And on all, why do I have this status system from TBWA(Short for The Blue Worlds Adventure)?" he complains.
The Blue World Adventure is a game that was released on the modern virtual reality helmet that shocked the whole world. Once his parents die, he doesn't know what to do, so he bought the latest technology for games, and what is most popular in modern days.
The game was released with the release of the helmet, making it the first game people play when purchasing the new tech. The game itself was so competitive, but he chose to be a casual player not just because his old enough, but also because he had a job.
"But despite that, I'm still a max-level player, being a casual miner and blacksmith really paid off." He then boosted himself enough to make himself prideful.
*Crack*
He heard a noise coming from in front of him. He steadily closed in on the noise. He hears a voice, saying something.
"You sum you really just make me tired chasing yo ass" The man, in ragged clothes, said.
"Y-You killed them all... All of them!" The young man shouts, but the guy is just laughing it out.
"You really think your life has worth? We owned you! We bought you and gave your pathetic life a purpose! You all are destined to die!" The man shouts in delight.
"You... you're not human!" The young man said, tears falling from his eyes.
"I am as human as I can get" The man said as he closed in on the young man and raised his sword.
Right after the sword fell into the young man, a figure appeared in front of him. The man is baffled by what just happened, he questions who this guy is in front of him.
"Who are you!" The man asked.
"Me? Just a passing traveler" Kale answered.
