[Notice: User registration begins.]
[Notice: 84%... 96%... 99%... 100%.]
[Notice: User Jinseong Ma has been registered.]
[Notice: Virtual reality mode synchronization starts.]
Jinseong closed his eyes.
It was the < Galaxy-M24 Apple > I ordered yesterday.
Even though I spent almost all my money, there was no turning back as long as I had already completed the installation.
Even though Jin-seong spent a lot of money, he never thought it was a waste, and he thought that money would not be a problem at all for himself who returned to 10 years ago.
There were plenty of ways he could make money, even stock coins and even real estate.
Except for the weird time limit hanging on his body.
‘This is confirmation. Confirmation of what happened to my body.’
Jinseong was lost in thought while listening to the operation sound of the Galaxy-M24 Apple.
It was literally.
How was he able to return to 10 years ago and why did the system window appear to him?
The message that he would die if he did not access the game within a week was also a message, but the voice whispered in his ear in the taxi must have been his voice.
‘Demon King Abraxas.’
It was the last boss he faced.
[Notice: Synchronization of virtual reality mode completed.]
[Notice: Access to the game Arsia Chronicle has been successful.]
[Notice: Do you want to start the game?]
“Start.”
And Jinseong’s consciousness was terrifyingly sucked into him.

Weeing! Weeing!
San Francisco, California, USA.
Operator Chloe’s eyes widened as an alarm sounded in the control room.
The situation back then was worse than expected.
Oracle, a top-secret department located on the B13 floor of Evertail headquarters.
In an unexpected emergency, Chloe put her hand on the microphone without hesitation and soon spread it throughout < Oracle > with a sharp voice.
– Forward to all Oracle departments. code black. code black. pass it on again. Code Black!
Cord black.
It was the highest risk code for the company’s survival.
“WTF what the hell is this...?!”
“Emergency!!”
“Quickly start responding!!!!”
As Chloe’s voice resounded, the operators quickly tapped the computers.
It was unprecedented.
A desk in the control room stretched out in a fan shape and a huge main screen several meters in front.
Oracle was on the verge of paralysis on the control room screen plastered with dozens of warning messages.
Controlling the code was also limited.
“manager!!!! Please come quickly!!!”
“what’s the matter!!!”
Chloe screamed and a man jumped in a gown.
He was a man with impressive dark circles.
Hyeok Kim (Master Hyeok).
The head of Oracle’s top-secret department and the general development director of Evertale.
His gaze was fixed on the main screen, and soon he crumpled his face like a piece of paper.
“X feet.”
It was because things weren’t so good.
“The protocol blocking of the Akashic Records is accelerating as the main stream operates. If we go on like this, we might lose all control!”
Hyukjin bit his lip at Chloe’s words.
It was a completely unexpected variable.
Main stream!
Ever since the Hyper AI < Akashic Records > created AC, an unknown area that has not yet been uncovered!
And finding out what happened to him was far more important to Damian than dwelling on the past right now.
Revenge came next.
“I will find you, Jung Yoo-min. I’ll find it and make sure there’s not a single bone meal left. I’ll take everything you have how many months? No matter how many years it takes I don’t know if you’ll start playing this game again... but if you do.”
Damian gritted his teeth.
Blood oozes from his fists.
“I will make you regret starting this game for the rest of your life.”
Crunchy!
Suddenly, Damian’s eyes lit up.
* * *
“...I can’t do this.”
Damian was standing in the middle of a lush forest.
It was a sparsely populated mountain.
Originally, it should have descended to Whispering Island and landed in < Dunbarton >, a beginner village.
When I looked back now, I didn’t see a single ant baby around, let alone Dunbarton.
It was like descending to the wrong place.
“The world’s Evertail can’t catch a single bug like this?”
Damian tilted his head.
It was strange.
No matter how much it was 10 years ago, it was just the beginning of servicing games.
It was nonsense that Evertail couldn’t properly catch one of these bugs.
[Notice: Player Demian’s access log has been confirmed.]
[Notification: Countdown reset.]
[Notification: Text number – #0000000001]
[Notification: Testing begins.]
Until a message pops up in front of you. .
[Condition 1: If you do not access the game within 168 hours, you will die.]
[Condition 2: If your character dies, the player will also die.]
[Condition 3: Your character will die for a specified period of time. If the goal is not achieved, the player will also die.]
[Note: If the player arbitrarily attempts to remove the system, be careful as the character and player will die.]
“...What?”
Damian couldn’t keep his mouth shut at the message that popped up in front of his eyes.
It was absurd.
If you don’t log in within 168 hours, you die.
When a character dies, the player dies too.
If you fail the target within the specified period, you die.
Damian didn’t know if the above messages were real or not, but soon he knew they were true.
[Notice: The sensory limit is released.
]
A terrifying pain crept through his entire body.
[Notice: Sense limit release completed.]
[Notice: Player Damian’s final goal has been updated.]
[End goal: Demon King descends]
[Remaining time: 87599 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
“Kah... uh...! ”
Damian sat down on the floor.
It was as if he had been subjected to electric torture.
This terrifying pain that penetrates to the bone.
AC’s sensory system had a sophisticated corner that made it difficult to distinguish between virtual and real, but it did not implement all the senses 100%.
It was because it was a game anyway.
As long as it exists in a state of suspended animation within the capsule, the human body is highly likely to accept stimuli as real.
If Evertail had not restricted the function of the capsule, tens of millions of users would have suffered from aftereffects or died by now.
< Full Dive >.
This is why the technology implemented by Evertail is called innovation.
But...
“What the hell did you do to my body—!!”
As if to ridicule such Damien’s common sense, the system canceled the sensory numerical limit too easily.
The messages he had heard and seen were by no means false.
[Notice: Assign classes according to the final goal conditions.]
“Final... what...?”
Tring!
And a message floated in front of Damian’s eyes.
