New York City,
[Monday, 04 Sept, 00:10!]
While Issac was between life and death,
The city was on its two feet! Yes, I dared to say it; on both feet!!
Many of the players have suffered the same torments.
Not only those who played God-like Online but all those who played immersive games!
They were all unconscious while they suffered a fate similar to Isaac's; awakening.

At some thousand KM, between southern Brazil and eastern Australia, a phenomenal scene occurred in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
While the auroras fought among themselves to take the field with colors never seen before that overlapped,
The Pacific Ocean had become wild and created waves at some KM/alt!
At that moment, it was chaos! Chaos almost announcing the end of the world!
It was as if the evil gods had finally decided to do a big show to have a little fun.
While the level of the world's ocean was rising drastically, and every city by the ocean was undergoing major evacuations,
An island, never seen before on the surface of the globe of our dear and tender little blue planet, emerged under the South Pacific Ocean!
At first, it didn't have the title of an island, but rather of a giant iceberg.
But as the seconds turned into minutes, the Iceberg turned into an island as large as that of New Zealand that was nearby.
But its size eventually exceeded it and continued to pop up, to the point of completely engulfing the Pacific of the South!
Meanwhile, the same phenomena were occurring in all the other world's oceans!
...The South Atlantic and the North! The Indian Ocean and the Austral... going as far as Antarctica, which had only a thick layer of ice!
All these areas have revealed continents and islands adorned with layers of protective barriers that prevented anyone from seeing what was going on inside!
This day will remain engraved in humanity's history as humans' reign ends following the appearance of predators as dangerous and fanciful as the human spirit had imagined and others that he had never imagined before!
Heroes will be called upon to do their homework to save humanity.
Antagonists will be the allies and nightmares of humanity!
Political power, the monopoly of leaders, worldly money, and the economy will no longer mean anything, in the face of the new hierarchy that is about to reign supreme over the world.
Technology will suffer thunder strikes in the face of magus-craft, forges worthy and able to forge not only more advanced and more destructive weapons that humans had never dreamed of creating, but also devices capable of traveling interstellar distances to finally discover, a race another time called... aliens!
A world of madness and chaos, where the most dangerous diseases will only be appetizers in the face of the powers of corruption of demonic creatures who will sow chaos with each of their passage!
A world where remedies and scientific research will be leaning and monopolized by alchemists... Able to cure deadly diseases with a single drop of their miraculous potions; such as cancers.
On top of all, a world, ruled by the one and only antagonist/hero man.

"Ugh!"
Back in New York, in a luxury hotel housing only the rich!
In this luxury, on the 89th floor, a man wishing to satisfy all his desires before his time came, opened his eyes in absolute black!
The world's blackout was the least of the worries compared to the fierce tremors and tsunamis that the world had just suffered!
Issac Jefferson, a skinny man with (stage II pancreatic cancer), looks around him with amazement.
He had no problem seeing around him, but learning that his room was in an unimaginable position, fire fields,
A ridiculous smile appears on his lips.
He turns his eyes away from the chaos as if he hadn't noticed it, he looks at the little red light blinking in his visual field and following him everywhere no matter where he looked.
"Notification tab...!?" A wave of surprise through his eyes when he heard his own voice which was clear as a serene person.
He looks at his wheelchair hanging on the cracked windows with amazement.
He unconsciously get up from the ground without taking into account that he was unable to do so with so much ease.
But he didn't have time to worry about it before a scroll unfolded in front of him like an RPG video game.
[Congratulations player N•XXX, you have successfully awakened your legacy. After surviving the awakening, you also got rid of your cancer.]
His smile grew despite the chaos that surrounded him. He then reads the other notifications in cold blood
[The gods have descended over into the world.]
[The towers of the gods have appeared on the world map. The world map has been modified.]
[The planet has changed its name, nature, and era!]
[Alert: Players are asked to choose their camps.]
[The goddess of life pitied the weak creatures who perished during the first impact. She, therefore, gave a second chance to all the victims who will be resurrected in a week.]
Issac's smile goes crazy when he sees these notifications.
He continued to read the notifications without missing one.
As for the last notification, it was the most worrying for him.
[Alert: The tutorial will start in ten hours.]
[Time remaining before the start of the tutorial, 03mn 34sec.]
With this timer that flows slowly, with every second, bringing him closer to a certain challenge, Isaac closes the notif tab and focuses on the most important.
"Stats tab." He whispers calmly with placid eyes.
At the same time,

Seeing that he had all the legacies he had obtained in the game, Isaac's smile became even more 'beautiful' as he explored the endless list.
'I had demigod's status, but apparently, that's no longer the case. But I wonder what happened to my castle on the floating island.' As he thought, a robotic voice that was familiar to him resounded in his mind.
[You're one of those who bought the moving right; for this purpose, some of your possessions and subordinates will appear in the next impacts.]
'Huh!? Next impacts!? It's interesting. I can't wait to see these crazy chaps and chicks at work...!! Wait, you mean that these crazy psychopaths will come here!?' His body was suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of terror when he heard the system's claims.
[Affirmative: Your maids, as well as your knights, not to mention your castle...
The system continued to cite everything Isaac had left behind and then bought; believing that it was the right to host his data on the server that was going to make a global update.
But the more he listened to the system, the less happy he was. Only he knew how dangerous and psychotic his subordinates were!
But after judging the situation as a whole, his concern turns into queries.
[...As well as your seven deadly sins, all will be with you.]
One minute, the time it took the system to quote all of Isaac's minions; not in individual numbers, but in squad.
"...I see. If these bastards come back here before I become strong enough, they will rebel and probably do their best to kill me."
[Right: The seven deadly sins accept to serve only the powerful, such as their wills.]
The system responds nonchalantly with its monochord voice.
A sad smile stands on his lips when he hears the system's response.
[Alert: The tutorial will start in 50secs.]
"Well, this isn't the time to focus on an uncertain future. I don't have time to-- WTF!?" He shrieks in heck when his hand has touched something hard on his head.
"H-h-HORNS!?" The more he stroked the pointed and smooth shape, the more he became sure of his assumption.
His curiosity eventually prevailed over him.
He's looking for the mirror he had in his room.
But instead of finding a mirror, he found something more nightmarish than a mirror, a tail that was dragging behind him!
A black tail covered with smooth scales!
"Seriously!? I'm carrying around with a tail!? Hey bro, what the fuck is that!?"
[...What were you waiting for? You're no longer a human, but a lust demon.]
Issac's heart was afflicted by an atrocious pain that was noticeable even in his eyes, which were blue sapphires.
-Ding!
[The tutorial will start in five seconds!]
Seeing this notification, he put aside his negative thoughts.
[...3...2...1...! The tutorial will now begin. All those who see this message will be teleported to random areas related to their legacies. May luck smile on you, dear players!]
"Tsk, what bastards!" Retorted Issac before being teleported!
