Within the Federation there was a certain game called "Infinite Quest Online". It was an explosively popular VRMMORPG fantasy game in the 2170's.

Every sensation while inside the game felt real to the point that some were afraid they'd be trapped inside by playing for too long due to the hyperrealism.

This game started ten years ago and it's kept me entertained from its start to its end, with excellent graphics, vast and wide selection of maps and an immersive storyline.

Despite this though, it wasn't a game that could last for very long due to the lack of updates and cliché plot which eventually threw many off. And currently, it was at a point where almost nobody played it and had moved on to far better games.

Well, except for me of course. But the point is that…

"What? This can't be real." Ansel cried out in disbelief.

Today was April Fool's Day, and for those that are unintelligent, it's also known as the 1st of April.

Anyway, the developers of the game announced that there would be a final event for this dead game which I enjoyed… It was called 'The Eve of April Extinction' event. And according to the dev's, every player would receive one overpowered mystery skill that they could use however they wished before the game was finally deleted…

Of course, this matter drew some attention so the servers are temporarily packed with trolls and OG players that felt like reminiscing.

"It's sad to see such a great game go… But on the flip side, this event looks awesome." Ansel said as he logged into his headset and activated the VR setting.

Once I was inside the game and had opened the random skills pack from the event, I ended up receiving six skills instead of one. It was probably a bug, but there's no point in reporting it since the game will be deleted at 3AM anyway.

Within the six, a very odd one popped up.

"The first two were cool since I'd be able to take no damage from mental skills, and run away quickly. Plus I'll get telekinesis. It's really a pity that one of them is just question marks though…" Ansel mused as he continued to inspect the remaining skills. "I'll forgive the dev's because the last three are insane, and two of them fit my play style… My luck is just too good!"

As I stared at the skills floating in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh in regret.

"It seems like they've really gone and decided to end the game…"

Of course, it would be fun to use the skills for a while longer to make a name for myself in-game, but the game will be deleted soon, so there's no point in trying.

The creators probably just want us to have fun anyway…

"Hmm, what to do…" Having nothing better to do, Ansel played the game all night. And now it was 02:37 AM… And he had school tomorrow…

Of course I could always just skip a day, but then I'd have to get help from my friends…

"Definitely not. I refuse to ask them for help. I'll just sleep now and wake up in four hours… I should have a few Monsters in the fridge anyway." Ansel muttered as he turned off his headset and flopped onto his bed.

Just in case he forgot to wake up, Ansel set five alarms on his phone to go off a minute after each other.

After setting all five on his phone, and even setting some on his computer; Ansel lay on his bed and stared at the ceiling.

He sighed, closed his eyes, and in just a few moments his snores filled the room. But that was not all that occured within the dimly lit room…

The moment Ansel fell asleep, the headset which should have turned off, turned on by itself, and the faint light of its screen began to slowly fill up the room.

The screen read;

Transmigrating in—

Author Note:

I will release three chapters today, however the future upload schedule will be slow because I need to focus on the things in front of me right now. That is all, enjoy the novel.
