"Finally, it's the public beta! Brothers, let's charge ahead!"
"Is this still a game? It's so realistic; it's truly a groundbreaking work!"
"Hurry, get me one!"
...
Today seems like a special day. In front of a high-tech, newly renovated store, a crowd of people is gathered, with excited exclamations and admiring voices echoing continuously.
The area is bustling with people.
They appear to be dressed in various styles and come from different backgrounds, but everyone, without exception, is lined up in long queues, gazing enviously at the scene before them.
On a large screen in front, another scene is vividly displayed.
This is a vast and boundless world,
With green mountains, lush grass, blue skies, and white clo
Of course, there are also man-made structures,
Medieval Gothic towers exuding a sense of historical grandeur,
People of varying hair and skin colors walking through the streets.
More importantly, there are the dazzling figures,
Some wielding large swords, their battle cries echoing through the heavens and earth, their swordlight freezing the nineteen continents, their sword energy cutting across thirty thousand miles, shattering rocks and piercing through clouds, relentless and unstoppable.
Some wielding staffs, their magic surging, their hair and beard flowing, summoning explosive fireballs, brilliant ice flowers, fierce storms, and raging lightning, crushing everything around them.
Some wielding short daggers, surviving in the shadows, cloaked to conceal their faces, creating illusions, moving stealthily from the shadows behind others, slashing throats.
Some holding holy books, bathed in sacred light, showing compassion and mercy, redeeming all the suffering and pain in the world.
...
A brilliant world, strange people!
In stark contrast to the steel and concrete world of today, with its excessively damaged, cloud-covered sky.
This is a game, and it's the reason why this crowd is here, waiting.
...
[Divine Prayer], a groundbreaking virtual reality experience game.
It is highly anticipated for its vast maps and near-excessive freedom.
Players can wear a game helmet and enter another world, a world of sword and magic that materialistic science cannot explain.
Here, there are rich and dazzling, mysterious and elusive magical arcana, there are unwavering and invincible combat skills,
Various professions and adventurers, wizards, swordsmen, thieves, knights, priests…
Each profession, when perfected, wields world-destroying power!
There are various strange and mysterious races, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, trolls, beasts, demons, dragons…
And... those gods who are revered and worshipped by the world.
Wearing the game helmet, one can assume another role, engage in combat, live, learn, and adventure,
To participate in the struggles among heroes, leaving behind their own legends.
Experience thrills completely unknown in reality.

Naturally, this bustling crowd is here for this game.
It's evident that this groundbreaking game will usher in a new chapter in people's lives, a new era, as this virtual world opens another space for human survival.
The earlier you start the game, the sooner you can seize better resources and opportunities.
And unnoticed,
Among the crowd, a young man with an ordinary appearance suddenly trembles, staring blankly at the unfamiliar yet familiar scene before him, his eyes seeming to be in a daze, as if he had completely forgotten his surroundings.
It was only when the people behind him pushed him forward that he came to his senses.
He froze for a moment but quickly regained his composure, a glimmer of dark light flashing in his eyes.
What's happening?
Is this… a reincarnation?
...
The process of selling the game helmets went exceptionally smoothly.
Players who bought the helmets immediately ran home, eagerly unboxing and putting on the helmets.
Meanwhile, in another world,
In the extreme southern dangerous land, the earth is charred black from the blazing flames,
Smoke and magma flow, and everything is silent.
It seems like there is no sign of life here,
The excessive fire elements gradually coalesce into a physical form, joyfully leaping and running in this desolate land, inadvertently releasing explosive energy and igniting everything flammable around.
And in this elemental storm,
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by the roaring sounds,
A pitch-black mountain seems to move!
Amidst the rumbling, stones and dust fly, and smoke fills the air,
In the mist, a massive body gradually takes shape.
"Whoosh!"
A fierce wind rises, huge black wings sweep through, creating violent gusts
That blow away all the dust.
Scarlet vertical pupils suddenly open, and streams of intense fire spill from the sharp fangs.
Time seems to freeze, and the air solidifies,
The imposing force!
It seems to spread like a force capable of crushing everything.
Even the elemental spirits, which know not just fear but everything, retreat and disappear.
"Something is coming?"
"This world is starting to become interesting…"
Accompanied by a heavy, crushing whisper.
The smoke is blown away by the fierce wind, revealing a massive body that blots out the sun,
Standing proudly amidst the lava and desolate land.
Bathed in the firelight, its appearance is revealed.
A dragon!
This is a terrifying dragon, completely black in color.
