nIn a parallel world.

nAD 2161.

nIn a simple yet tidy room, an 18-year-old youth was lying on his bed as he silently watched the television.

nThe old television in front of the bed continuously reported the news as it produced static

"bzz bzz

" sounds.

n

"Next, we will broadcast news regarding an online gaming channel!

n

"December 31st, 2161. Today is the annual... bzz bzz... Second World talent test day. It's no exaggeration to say that this day will determine... bzz bzz... the fate of all the students of this year.

n

"The principal of New York City's No. 1 high school has said that this year, the school is expected to produce... bzz bzz… S-grade talent students.

n

"As everyone knows, last year, in the year of 2160, New York City's No. 1 high school had... bzz bzz... produced S-grade students. Their talent is The Blessing of the God of Fire. Under the protection of the federation... bzz bzz... They studied under famous teachers and have become the focus of the federation.

n

"I wonder if they will appear again today... bzz bzz... The favored ones. Let us wait and see.

"

nThe youth on the bed stood up lazily, looked at the old television before him, and fell into deep thought.

nAlthough the television constantly produced slight static noises, the general content of the broadcasted news could still be heard clearly.

nThe news sounded like an ordinary news broadcast, nothing special could be heard from it.

nThough to this youth, it was an extremely shocking big bang news.

n

"This year... is 2161?

n

"I've transmigrated???

"

nThe youth lowered his head in confusion and quietly stared at his hands.

nFair, young, and strong!

nHis gaze followed his right hand as he gradually raised his hands.

nSunlight shone in from outside the window, and through the gaps between his fingers, warm rays landed on his face.

n'Warm...

n'It's real!'

nMike was utterly convinced with his transmigration.

nHe had transmigrated to 30 years ago!!!

nAfter he clarified his current situation, Mike narrowed his eyes slightly.

n100 years ago, which was 2060.

nSecond World appeared suddenly. No one knew how this game came about.

nPeople over the age of 18 could mentally log in to the game anytime and anywhere they wanted. Despite that, people still preferred logging in at home. After all, once they were logged in, their bodies in the real world would become defenseless.

nAlthough the appearance of such an

"online game

" was already surprising enough, what came after was even more shocking.

nEveryone gradually discovered that the abilities in the game could actually be substituted into the real world!

nThough with power came disasters.

nDuring those years, the order of the world became extremely chaotic.

nMurders, robberies... or simple terrorist attacks could be seen everywhere.

nThe human government immediately enforced military suppression, but no obvious results could be seen within a short period of time.

nIt lasted for a full five years!

nThe order of the human world recovered gradually, though the cost was that the human population dropped to a mere two billion.

nMore than half of the human population died in that catastrophe.

nSecond World became a taboo, and the world formed unified laws where no one was allowed to log into the game.

nHowever, was it something that could be banned just because it was forbidden by law?

nTo be honest, it was difficult.

nBecause logging into the game was way too convenient!

nAll you needed was a thought to log into the game, then you could secretly increase your strength.

nTherefore, although the crimes related to the Second World had decreased, they never disappeared.

nFive years later, the federal government realized the severity of the matter.

nSneaky villains could ignore the law, secretly log into the game and increase their strength. On the contrary, law-abiding and honest citizens would remain as ordinary people.

nIf this went on, once they reached a critical point, disasters would erupt again.

nHowever, the justice camp led by the federal government could not suppress them by force.

nHence, a revolution occurred.

nThe federal government changed the law. Not only did they allow people to log into the game, they even set up schools globally to train students.

nAt the same time, they set up special organizations to focus on training talented students.

nThrough this, those who gained abilities would be controlled.

nThis kind of change had benefited the world, and the world gradually recovered.

nHowever, good times were short-lived. 50 years later, Second World actually updated its server!

nThe monsters of the devil's den had obtained the ability to invade earth, and the monsters were restless and eager to make a move!

nEvery once in a while, powerful monsters would appear on earth and attack humans. In more severe situations, there would even be a beast tide, which meant that a large number of monsters would invade earth at once.

nIn order to defend against the invasion of monsters, humans had to have sufficient strength.

nIn everyone's heart, the importance of Second World had once again risen by a large margin!

nOrdinary people would activate their ordinary talents and live a mediocre life.

nMeanwhile, once the favored ones activate their powerful talents, they would be able to reach new heights in their lives.

nIt could be said that the real world was inseparable from the Second World.
