Venn was a 'library rat' in the previous tiline. It was a derogatory term that referred to players whose jobs were to collect useful data and information from in-ga books and sell them to rich players in exchange for federal credits.
Employed by the Azure corporation as a library rat previously, Venn could earn a hefty sum of credits on good tis whenever he reported useful information to his higher-ups.
Instead of being a gold farr whose main purpose was to earn in-ga currency for the corporation, his assigned job in the ga was to read up on books in the central library of Rosewell City, the capital city of one of the major human kingdoms in the ga.
Heaven Descent was unlike any other ga. It was the fruit of the state-of-the-art, pinnacle technology of a united human front.
The ga was fully run and managed by an almost omnipresent AI technology, and every aspect of the ga was carefully calculated and stress tested.
Once the ga was launched, the AI would be solely responsible for managing the ga with the developers forever relinquishing their control of the ga system, which in turn would allow the ga to achieve total fairness.
That was how much confidence the developers of the ga had. They weren't afraid of anyone exploiting a bug in the ga, nor were they afraid of the ga ever malfunctioning.
Furthermore, the ga boasted a near 100% sensory virtual reality which many found it impossible to achieve until the ga was revealed to the public.
So, imagine how loud the cheers and the amount of hype from gars all over the world when they heard about the news of such a ground-breaking ga.
Its NPC and sceneries were hyper realistic and the world of Heaven Descent gave players the impression that the world was truly alive with its unique story lines and lore revolving around the world.
Coupled with the heart-racing combat experience, Heaven Descent was truly a marvel of its ti.
Rising to the number one spot of the entertainnt chart within the first hour of its launch, the craze from the general populace reached an all-ti high with never-ending queues lining up for the virtual helt.
***
On the sa day that Venn found out that he had returned to the past, the first action he took was to go outside to purchase a VR helt using the precious savings that he was able to scrape up from his jobs.
They were supposed to be used for Rena's university fees, but what's the use of it if Rena wasn't able to attend one?
Securing the helt was a pain in the ass as the popularity of the ga was spiking after nurous rave reviews from the dia and the players alike, bombarded the public since its launch 2 months ago.
Fortunately, his job as a cashier in the local ga shop proved to be useful as he used his position to cancel the order of an unlucky custor by claiming that his reserved helt was faulty.
After calling his respective workplaces to resign, Venn's cold eyes stared at the ga helt back in his cramped bedroom.
Though tears were seeping out from his eyes due to the expensive purchase cost of 5000 credits incurred, he constantly reminded himself that it was a necessary investnt.
Having spent all his waking monts playing the ga back then, he knew no other investnt with a quick enough return that could raise sufficient funds for his sister's inevitable dical treatnt except Heaven Descent.
No one in this world knew just how world-changing the ga's impact was yet.
Fa, riches, won and power were all within anyone's reach. With future knowledge of how the ga state would be like for the next 3 years, Venn's heart began pounding rapidly.
"It will be different this ti." Venn assured himself. He had chosen a different route in life with his second chance.
Instead of attending the interview with Azure corporation, he decided to play as a solo player so that all achievents and gains in the ga would solely belong only to him.
However, he knew fully well that he had a steep mountain to climb.
The ga had already been launched for 2 months currently, and because of the ti difference of the ga and the real world, half a year had already passed in the ga world.
He needed to catch up with the other players while also earning federal credits as quickly as he could as a side objective to cure Rena.
Failure wasn't an option as he had gambled everything to his na.
Ard with nothing but his knowledge, Venn put on the stylish black helt with matte finishing securely on his head with a determined resolve.
Once he was done, he lay on his bed with his eyes closed.
[Connect to Heaven Descent?]
[Yes / No]
Looking at the familiar login screen that popped up, Venn shouted with all his might.
"Yes!"
[Scanning iris… Authenticating user…]
[Unregistered player detected…]
[Creating a new account…]
[Welco to Heaven Descent]
A chanized voice penetrated directly into Venn's mind as his vision darkened, monts after he was connected to Heaven Descent.
Briefly after, a pure white space was rendered and he found himself alone in the boundless space, just floating in mid-air.
With no one in Venn's sight, he heard the chanized voice start to speak again.
[Please select a na for your avatar]
"Night Raid."
Venn chose a different na to symbolise a new start in his life.
The na would serve as a reminder to him.
Instead of letting Heaven snatched Rena away from his side again, he wanted to be the one that would be doing all the taking this ti round, even if it ant that he must pry it from the clutches of Heaven.
He swore that he would climb the apex of Heaven Descent so that he wouldn't have any regret again for both Rena and himself.
No matter who they are, if they stand in his way, he would obliterate them.
