Countless bodies laying on the flat plain. The air, which had been fresh and clean, is now contaminated with death. Any living being who would cross this land would die from the toxic air that inhabits this place. In the center of all the corpses that were wearing armor, swords, staffs, robes with a hood that may have been the clothing of a magician, is an abomination with the appearance of a skeleton wearing black tattered robes with red light that comes out of its empty eye sockets, holding a scythe that looks so sharp that it could cut while just being near it. This being will be a legend in the near future where just uttering the titles or its nickname would cause fear in the hearts of many.

The abomination mouth moved and what came out of it, "Ah shit. I didn't really meant to do that, but whatever.I was scared. Isn't this categorized as self-defense? Whatever."

'Flight'

Immediately after that, the abomination slowly levitated above the ground and flew who knows where.

Let's rewind time a bit.

I'm Rizar Azzur and I'm 28 years old. I'm currently working on the weekends fixing a couple of bugs in the program for a hype PC Multiplayer game called Elareven. This game is quite popular despite it being 10 years since it was published. With variety of races, classes, specializations, it has even caught the attention of other countries by how much both kids and adults spend time on it.

I'm also one of those who had spend most of their time playing Elareven. Believe it or not, I'm the creator of the game. Yep, I came up with the idea of this game and created it along with some of my close colleagues. When it was publicized, it quickly gain popularity. Honestly, I didn't expect it to go out very well. As they say, "Life never goes your way."

As the creator, I have access to every information, items, weapons, gear, etc. Why am I playing the game which i created? Well, I love playing games. Even when I knew what to expect in Elareven, I simply enjoyed it. As soon as I started playing it, I became an addict to the very game I made.

Unknown to my colleagues and workers, I am always playing the game in my office at work when they weren't looking. There were times where I was almost caught, but it didn't happened. Playing the Elareven for a few months, I have gained max level with the highest grade equipment, gear, legendary items which consists of different types of potions and scrolls.

I also made myself a certain weapon secretly from my coworkers called Aedrihar. This weapon is a scythe which has an ability that would increase the damage cap of the weapon for every boss that had been killed with it. The stronger the boss, the more rewarding it becomes. I altered it so that there isn't a damage cap on it. Because of it, I was capable of easily killing normally, extremely, difficult bosses in a few minutes that would take an hour to kill with multiple parties with the maximum of 6 players in a party. A young man in his twenties knocked the door and came inside my office.

" Boss, we have finished fixing most of the classes and the program is running smoothly." He said with a tired expression.

" Yes, good work. Please tell everyone they may leave for the day."

The guy that had just called me "Boss", is a programmer that I had just hired about a month ago. He is Dan Mclaen. He is very proficient in his work. He is also one of the best workers I have in this company. Even though Dan is a very hard worker, I always have to be careful around him. He is not just a good worker, but he also has a good perception. If Dan was to find out what I have done with the game behind the scenes for my own benefit and made it public, my reputation would be ruined. Why I even hired him? I was simply forced too. Dan Mclaen is known as a genius in the computer related field and if I didn't hire him, it is very likely that it world arouse suspicions and questions to which why I didn't hire him.

" Ah, before that, have you heard of the player Qiran. He is currently the strongest and best player in Elareven. If I remember correctly, his racial class is that of a Lich and his class job is a Necromancer ."--Dan

" Ya, I have heard of him. Qiran is currently in the top ranking of all the players in the game. He was also said to be the one to reach the max level to fastest.

" I was thinking that maybe we could call him and ask him as the number one player for any advice or suggestions for the future of the game." Dan asked bright smile

'Shit. I gotta move the topic to something else quickly.' I thought uncomfortably

To tell you the truth, I am actually the one who is the owner of the character, Qiran. By using the various information that I have access for myself, I reached max level pretty quickly. I've put fake information on my account settings so it wouldn't lead to me, but the topic is simply uncomfortable for me to talk about. As I was nervously fidgeting my fingers, suddenly a sound of a cellphone rang and Dan took out his cellphone from his pocket and looked at the caller.

" Sorry Boss, I will need to go right now. Sister is calling me."--Dan

Saying farewell to me, he left my office and closed the door as I sighed in relief.

" Man that was close." As I slump down on my office chair.

Taking a look at the time on the clock on the wall which says 6:30 PM, it was also time for me to leave.

I packed up my stuff and making sure that I didn't forget to bring my keys with me, I left the company and I went to my car and drove home. Before getting home though, I went to McDonalds and ordered a BigMac with an oreo frappe. After finishing my dinner, I went back to my car and drove directly home.

Arriving at my place and going inside, I went straight to my room and fell onto the bed. Today I felt awfully exhausted. I was sure I didn't do anything particularly tiring today. Was it just the dinner that I ate. I heard that eating fastfoods would get you tired after some time. I guess I should take a bath right now.

I immediately took of my clothes and went for the bathroom. Filling up the bathtub with water, I dipped myself into the water. The warm water caressing my skin and hair felt like paradise. Feeling as if I might fall asleep if I stay in any longer, I got out of the tub after unplugging the hole to empty the tub. Finishing that, I put on my bathrobe as I went out of the bathroom.

Going back to my room, I turned on my PC. I typed in my PC password and logged into my desktop. Clicking the icon on Elareven, the game launcher appeared and I logged in to play it. Tomorrow is Sunday, which is my break day. I no longer have to worry about work tomorrow. I select my Qiran as the character I want to play. In Elareven, you have character slots when you decide to create another character. I only stayed with Qiran though.

Signing in my passcode for my account, I gained access to my character. After my screen finished loading up the game. I looked at my inventory and equipment I was holding. No matter how many times I see it I felt like a total bad-ass. My potions have been collected ever since I played the game. I guess I would be called stingy for never using any high-grade potions in battle and always used the low-middle grade ones when my health comes low. I just like seeing it my things keep piling up. That being said, I started to feel drowsy, I slowly and unconsciously closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

Human Kingdom of Pledia King Jaferdo

I, King Jaferdo, am speaking with my advisers and other nobles of the kingdom in our council room about dealing with the rising number of bandits in the past month. Not just ordinary bandits, but extremely skilled warriors and magicians that are able to use a 4th rank spell are appearing in the groups. Because of those pests, many merchants have been complaining to me and requesting to remove or suppress them. It has been giving be many extremely painful headaches so far. From all the stress that was building up overtime, I had to release it on a couple of demi-humans and elves more than I can count. Some of them either gotten pregnant or died. Seriously, after thinking about that, there is also the issue of the demi-humans binding together different tribes and forming a country to wage war against the kingdoms.

"Your Majesty!"

An old woman holding a staff barged into the council meeting room appeared. Her appearance shows her age of 70-80 years. With long silver hair, rotten teeth, long fingernails, big nose, and the face so ugly that someone accuse her of a witch that practice the dark arts if they didn't know any better.

I replied with a bored tone," Why have you some so urgently? Is it that of great importance and you would come without an appointment?"

This old woman is named Serai and is an apostle of one of the almighty gods. She possesses an innate ability of foresight to see parts of the near future.Sometimes she would claim to have visions that would be hundreds of years in the future. In many occasions it had save my country many times if it wasn't for her ability. Because of it, she holds a special position in my kingdom.

"Your Majesty! A great c-ca-calamity will descend into this world!"--Serai

".....Tell me about is this calamity?"

" A being with great power that could rival or maybe even surpass the 6 almighty gods is coming into this world!"--Serai

I began to be skeptical and closed by eyes. I believe that so far, Serai has never been wrong with her predictions. Hell, there wasn't even a moment where her predictions went wrong, but hearing that something is coming to our world and that could rival the gods in unbelievable. It is just not possible.

"...When will this thing appear and where Serai?"

" I am not sure, but if what I see was right, it would appear in no less than 3 years."--Serai

".... Hmmm, you may leave now. The council will discuss our future decisions about this later." Honestly, I don't want to deal with any more problems.

" But Your Majes.."--Serai

I interrupted and said in a cold tone,"I said you may leave."

Trembling, Serai quickly left the room.

" What are we going to do? It might be possible that Serai's prediction might not be true. There is nothing that could oppose the 6 gods of this world."-- Random noble

" For now I believe that we should spread the news to our neighboring countries just in case if it were to be really true. Maybe we could use this as a possibility to make an alliance with the other kingdoms?"--Random noble#2

Opening my tired eyes," We shall go with that. Spread the news the nearby kingdoms as quickly as possible. Even if they wouldn't believe it, there is no harm in telling them just in case something really does happen. MEETING ADJOURN!"

My advisors and other nobles got up from their chair left the room silently. After the last person went out the door and shut it, I thought about future preparations for the incoming war with the demi-humans and deciding whether or not I should make a truce with them if the calamity was to come. After further thought, I decided that it might not be possible to do so when my Kingdom have been invading their nearby villages and have been using them as our toys as we enslave their women. Seriously, those lowly animals who happens to have some intelligence and looked a bit human should know their place. I left the room exhausted. I need to catch up on my sleep or else I will get ill from sleep deprivation.

Somewhere Rizar Azzur

Waking up, I find myself in an empty plain. The moon in this place is up at its peak in the midnight sky.

" What the hell?"

I swear I was sleeping in my house, if not, near the PC just a moment ago. Wait, why am I panicking? This is just a dream. Yeah it must be a dream. Taking a good look at myself in this dreamworld, I found myself with a black robe that seems to look like just like the dark void. Looking at my arms, they were only bones while my right skeletal hand is holding a scythe that looks very very similar to that of Aedriha.

"It doesn't really matter. This is only a dream."

That being said, I started walking in a random direction in this remote land, not knowing my life have completely changed for better or worse.
