Looking at the VR headset in front of him, Red's eyes burned with anticipation.
People may say that it is foolish for him to spend all his money on a game, but Red had a secret that he doesn't want others to know about.
Red is a transmigrator. His soul originally comes from the future.
Because of this, he knows that sooner or later, the game Overworld would be launched to the public.
Overworld is a game created by mysterious developers. Boasting high realism and immersive gameplay, Overworld captured the attention of many people and soon grew to be a game played by 98% of all the people in the world.
Red knew that apart from the superficial parts of the game, the reason that it quickly rose to prominence is because of two things.
First, you can convert currency in the game to money in the real world, and top it with the chance to explore a new world, many people opt to play the game rather than continue their work in real life.
Secondly and the most magical: time dilation. 1 day in the game is equivalent to 5 hours in the real world. This function caused an uproar and many major powers tried to contact the developers and learn the secret behind this function.
Unfortunately or fortunately, the developers of Overworld are too mysterious and the major powers can't glean too much information. Helpless, they can only restrain the thoughts in their mind and focus on the game.
"In my last life, I joined the game too late. I can only work for a guild for a measly sum in exchange for my service. Now, that I'm reborn, I won't make those mistakes again. This time I will be the master of my life.", murmured Red as he caressed the metallic exterior of the VR headset, but soon his face crumpled to an ugly grimace.
" But the game will only open one month later, and I already spent all my savings on this headset. I was so excited because of the transmigration that I hurriedly bought it. Looks like I need to find a job first."
Wasting no time, Red put on his only pair of decent clothes and hurried outside.
Opening the door, Red's face is assaulted by the morning breeze jolting his spirit awake.
"This is all real", murmured Red as he touched his face.
Red advanced while relishing the feeling. Happiness, joy, determination, and hope for the future that he doesn't have in his past life.
" In this life, I promise to only work for myself", Red's eyes burned with ferocity and battle intent.
From his initial walking speed, Red slowly picked up his pace until he was full-on sprinting.
Unhindered, Red laughed carefreely and looked forward to the challenges ahead.
