"Woah~!!? That's amazing! I hope my father would buy me one." ---

--- August 21, 2063 ---
Beep~!!
In a dark room with only a dim light from the Neuro Linker --- a gear that allows the user to dive into the game --- can be seen. Lots of empty cup noodles and empty bottles are scattered everywhere.
Kamiya Sakaido, a Shut in-neet guy having thin body frame and a frizzy brown hair with dark shades below his eyes, grins thinly while removing the console from his head.
"Kukuku!! That event really is hellish, as a Guild Master I can't afford myself to lose but--."
*Even though I'm a Guild Master, I always played solo. It's because all the members left the guild and my only companion's are the NPC's that I created. But they are all stationed in The Dooms Dungeon of Tophet ---My own dungeon--- as the defensive forces in case there's a raid.*
"-- Aaahhhh!? Good grief!! what the hell is wrong with that new boss" Sakaido scratched his head and looked at the clock, he saw it's already 5 in the morning. "The hell? I've already played this long , it did take a lot of time than I have planned --- not that I have any plans though" He said that while showing a wiped out face.
He stood up from his customized chair and walked to the fridge and took some junk foods to eat and a cola.
"Puhaa~!! Cola really is the best when you're working very hard. I feel like my strength is coming back to me". He tossed the empty bottle and laid down in his bed.
"Sigh!! Life is so great right now, even though I've been a shut in for almost 10 years" He chuckled.
"I guess it started when I was still in highschool. It was that time when my father bought me the game after asking many times.
*Me and my father always have an argument almost everyday back then --- the reason is that I always skipped classes and stopped going to school after a few years. The high ranked items I sold online is already enough for me to maintain my daily life, that's why there's no need to go to school anymore.*
"Time really flew fast, I'm already 25 years old now." He leaned his arms in his forehead. "My life still seems to have full of surprises kukuku!!". He closed his eyes for a while. Then he remembered what happened in the game.
"Even though the rewards are really high tiered items, I never thought it was that hard. It's so beyond compare to the previous ones. I almost died out there haha~!?" He laughed weakly. "Well maybe it's my fault for fighting the boss solo."
He exhaled heavily.
"That boss, is there a bug in that event? Everytime his HP goes down below 30%, it always recovers completely.... And that skill called [ Ungodly Ray ] what the hell is that? Looks like a troll skill? A bug? Or whatever it is. So goddamn OP!!! One shot one kill? What the hell is that. I've even used one of my Mythical grade artifacts --- [ The Chalice of Revival ] --- which are so hard to obtain. One needs to kill more than 100 bosses above level 400 to obtain one.

"Argh!! I'm getting very irritated just by remembering it, well I've been fighting the boss for almost an hour or so by. Good thing I've freaking killed that. I never thought I'd died out there even though no players can ever match me. I'm even using 80% of my strength back there but that Evil Deity of Fertility what kind of op regeneration is that?.... Well I still killed her though."
"Oh! By the way what is that unknown achievement that I received after killing it? Hmm? It said that it's my reward for the first one to kill the boss and fighting solo as an additional points? I think that's um?...A skill and a title right?"

"That's a cheat right? I'm sure I'm not mistaken. That's totally a cheat skill!" He said, in a bewildering way. But he's happy that he got them from his own work. "hmm~m... Nothing beats the happiness you felt from the reward you've received from your own hard work" he smiled brightly.
"Yaaawn!! I'm getting sleepy. Maybe I'll rest for about 3 hours. There's still many sub-events left on my notification..."
ZzzZ!!

Whisper~
Cold breeze surrounds the land at a beautiful night under the moonlight. Stars are shining brightly in the sky. The world's balance is about to be disrupted by a great phenomenon.
[ The Awakening Begins ]
•••
Sakaido felt something wrong and he opened his eyes but still sleepy. A cold breeze touched his pale skin.
"Brr~!! It's so cold In here. Did I lowered the AC?"
He stood up to adjust it but... He only saw wide grasslands. He looks up, then saw 3 moons in the clear night sky. At this moment he's fully awake and his eyes went wide.
"Ehh~!!? What the hell is happening!!?" he shouted in a very loud voice.
He pinched himself thinking this is only a dream but sadly, it failed.
"So this is not a dream? If not then--." *Wait-wait-wait let me assess the situation here. So I fell asleep a while ago, and then I....woke up in this place a..and then--* "Ooohh~!!! Are you kidding me?!" He shouted.
"Wait, what if this is a game? Th..that's right. I'm inside the game right!?"He panicked and uses his right index finger to tap something in the air infront of him many times but nothing happened.
"How is this possible....the console won't come out th..there should have been one." He said, as if his strength is leaving him.
He felt hellish pain in his head and fell down in the thick grasses --- reaching below his knees.
"Kuh! It hurts! It hurts!" As Sakaido cried and rolled in pain for a while, he collected his thoughts forcing himself to relieve from the pain. Then waves of informations flowed in his mind, just like tsunamis wrecking havoc. And he remembered everything that happened and something strange happened to him.
•••
After a while the pain faded away, he stood up. He's a lot different from the man a while ago. Great prowess can be seen in his eyes. He became taller. The weak aura seems no longer there. His body became sharper, his shoulders became broader. Tremendous power is flowing within him. His hair changed and also it's color turned into pitch black.
A human like teenage boy with beautiful demonic black wings have been born.
He looks at his hands.
"Hmm!?" *So my body changed as well as my ego huh!... Is this also because of the phenomena?* he thought. "Kukuku!! Looks like I really turned now into Verion". His game avatar and also the Guild Master of Shainzack Excursios Guild. Verion's guild --- even though he's the only member --- the guild became the top 1 in the world ranking due to his unparalleled skills and collected several high ranking items. He killed thousands of bosses in order to become invincible.
Lots of players challenged him but even if they're on guild's or a maxed level synchronized party, they can't damage Verion at more that 10% of his max hp.
"Even though I don't have a console, I know my stats and I can use my skills if I think about it."
He tried activating a skill.
"[God's Haste] [ Flash Step ]."
Swish!!?
*Woah!? my skills are really working fine in here.*
"Kukuku!! To think that in a single step, I've traveled 1 km in an instant" he checked his body as he moves around."
*What an amazing skill. Though it is only acquired upon reaching level 250 My level in the game should be Level 500. That's the maximum level in the game a player could accumulate.*
"I even managed to kill that boss --- the Evil Deity of Fertility --- in solo. Well I'll thank my luck and skills for that kukuku~!!"
•••
Verion made a smirk on his face while he was testing several types of movement related skills like:
[ Flash Step ]
Type: Active skill
Level: 250
Description: Instantly travel's a short distance in a single step.
[ God's Haste ]
Type: Active Skill
Level: 250
Description: It increases the agility of the user for 20x.
[ Accelerate ]
Type: Active Skill
Level: 250
Description: Strength is multiplied to the user's Agility.
Most of Verion's skills are refined by himself. By understanding the principles of the game and making it his own, he forms new ways of refining his abilities with his knowledge. That's how he survived as a solo player.
Something is approaching very fast from the sky. Verion noticed it.
"Hm!? Seems like one of them are here now"
A figure is approaching at an unimaginable speed coming from the sky. A beautiful woman slowly came down.
The dazzling crimson dress she wears shines brightly as the moonshine struck the jewels and ornaments. Her gentle smile and a very luscious frame expressed how attractive she is. The woman approached Verion and kneel down in front if him.
"I apologize for taking a long time arriving at your side, Verion~sama."
( ~sama - A term of extreme respect. )
"Stand up."
"Yes."
Nezhia slowly stands up.
"Are you the only one?." He said, in a very cold voice.
*The last NPC I created, Nezhia The Demon Duchess. Using the strongest and highest ranked materials in SYLDANDRA, she leads all the NPC as the strongest entity in The Dooms Dungeon Of Tophet.*
"Yes, Verion-sama."
At this point Verion already knew what is happening.
"It is more likely that we have been transported in this world by that void. And where are the others?"
"From to what I have remembered, they didn't successfully passed through the void Verion-sama."
*According to my memory, there was a void that swallowed me up but --- what about the other NPC's?--- I have no time thinking of that.*
"Nezhia have you seen any town near us?"
*First is we need to find a place as a base. And we need to be cautious about the systems of this era. And I need to know more about this world and it's connection to SYLDANDRA.*
"Yes, there's a City in the east about 10km from here Verion~sama." She replied immediately.
"Kukuku!! Brace yourself oh world for I will conquer everything!!"
