My family used to be a 'may kaya' or a well-heeled family but everything turns downfall one years ago.
The company that my dad used to work for went bankrupt almost immediately whilst that time was not favored to us since my family had recently purchased a property that was a rent-to-own and needed to pay for the second month or else, the contract would be canceled and we would be kicked out, leaving my father with no alternative but to make a loan and eventually came to the point where he consulted a loan shark company.
At first, it was good and all since my father used to know one of those loan shark employees but had been betrayed by him, making our family hardly indebted to that loan shark company.
My father was offered a chance to do some amends, an amends where he needs to cast out all those precious emotions and do everything that had been ordered to him by the loan shark organization. You might argue that his life has been purchased as a slave, and by the time I wish to help my family pay my father's debt by selling all those rare and mystical items from New Life, the game's creator had already passed away leaving the game forced shutdown.
I might even call myself the foolish of the fool. If I only sold those items much sooner then everything would be fine.
My father's chronic disease claimed his life just a few weeks after the game was forcibly shut down. But the difficulties of life doesn't end there; my mother was left with a debt that was supposed to have been paid off but instead was suddenly charged a hefty interest rate whilst I who chose to shut myself from the outside world never knew the hardship that my mother going through.
I just hope that it wasn't too late for me to do my own amends. I prayed to God almost every day that please don't end my life here, I want to do better and give my mother what she was supposed to have. Then, my prayers has been heard. The game that I used to play become a reality, and by that means what? by means, I can start over again, become what I used to be, and give my family the life that they deserve to have in this lifetime.

At that point, I understood that the only people who could stop you from going crazy were your dearest family. They will be the ones to make you feel so relieved that you will almost immediately and helplessly put your head on their shoulders while forgetting everything around you. I told mom to go outside first and thankfully she agreed. "Hm, you're the one behind this right?" I walk closer to the supposed leader and asked if he was the one behind this nonsensical event. "Y-Yes.. Ah, no, I was just ordered by our boss. I even told him that this kind of situation would put us in danger but he didn't listen. P-Please let me just go.." He took a step back as he spoke. I abruptly took the azure knife from my inventory once again and threw the knife to the wall that was an inch closer to the supposed leader's scaredy face. "A-Ahh!" He yelled out of fear like a girl whilst his pants suddenly turned wet. "Did you just wet your pants?" I asked, slowly approaching him. "Tell, how did it
After breakfast, I proceeded to Makiling Forest once again to hunt. "Hm, so it was already my third day of coming here huh?" I mumbled. Just as I was about to enter the forest, I suddenly heard a familiar voice, calling for my name. "Theodore! Hey!" I immediately turned away after knowing that the one calling for me was none other than Sasha. No, no, no.." I entered the forest and proceeded to go deeper and arrive at phase three of the forest where monsters higher than blue leaf boar can be found. "Why was he in a hurry?" She mumbled and left. [MONSTER NAME: GREEN BULLDOZER] [LEVEL: 05] [LOCATION: MAKILING FOREST, THIRD PHASE] [DESCRIPTION: Green Bulldozer, a monster higher level than Blue Leaf Boar. They lurked upon the third phase of the Makiling Forest.] The green bulldozer differed from the green leaf boar by a lot. its strength was much higher but not quite destructible like the mutated purple boar though, in terms of speed, they were almost equally the same. "It will
Just as I was about to enter the dark part of the forest, I felt an immense pressure from the air. "A-A bloodlust!" I started to ready myself from any possibilities of danger, a shield in my right hand and the azure knife in my left hand. I took sight on each of every side of the forest but nothing happened. "Hm? Maybe I was just being paranoid.." I mumbled. I decided to go back to phase 3 of Makiling Forest and hunt bulldozers once again until the EXP gain was rather small than usual and finally called it a day whilst focusing on each of every side of the forest to avoid the thing that happened to me yesterday (CH-006). [1:20 PM, Wednesday], [LOCATION: Makiling Forest, Entrance] I went to the player's lounge in order to check my inventory since this lounge was owned by the government and is protected by the police and private soldiers. One could say that this was a safe area for players who wanted to check their inventory withbeing targeted by the others. "Hm, this was quite a l
And that's how I ended up being a magician once again. Sasha told me that this place was originally a golf course, obviously, it is. But just after the game become reality, this place suddenly transformed into a medieval infrastructure in just a spun amount of time. For me, this place was a town similar to that of a newbie town in "New Life". In New Life, the town was where everything can be found. Such as market place, forging houses, a teleportation gate that instantly teleports you to the designated forest, and a book store. By the looks of it, everything was really similar to that of a newbie town; just like these NPCs. Yes, you heard it right. I too cannot believe that NPCs have existed but I already seen it with my own eyes so I don't have a choice but to believe. But the thing is these NPCs doesn't act like they used to be in "New Life". Their scripted and repeated actions cannot be seen as if they have gained their own ego and human emotions. [5:02 PM, Wednesday], [LOC
I bought these five skill books because of their own unique firepower and usage. Just like the lightning bullet that only consume almost half of the original skill which was a lightning blast. Not only this skill was conservative, but it was also powerful in its own way, just like being shot by a gun. Earthen Shield could help me block almost all magic or long-range attacks while it can also be used for terrain manipulation, partnered up with self-healing that could help me heal my wounds naturally when an attack from the enemy hasn't been blocked by the earthen shield. As for Fire blast, it could consume a lot of mana since it was an ultimate attack but if it was partnered up by mana regeneration, then I would at least regenerate 20-30% of the used mana from initiating the said skill. I wanted to hunt more monsters for the day to try the skills that I'd bought but the night was already coming through and so I decided to go home and sleep early. "M-Mom!" I once again forcibly wok
Hunting with the other players was more efficient than hunting alone, is what they say. Well, in fact, it is. But for I who have an unspoken secret, unable to do so. Consider what would happen if someone discovered that I still have the items that I used to have when I was a "New Life" player. Isn't death the only outcome? That is why, for as long as I can, I will never join any party with others. I rest for a while to replenish the mana that I used and decided to open the Gift Pack that I received after becoming a mage. [Gift Pack x1] ([Use]/Discard) For I who was a former player of New Life know that the Gift Pack contained three essential items for each of the different classes. For me, I should receive common staff, common robe, and a common ring. "But what is this?" I mumbled. The Gift Pack that would provide three items only gave a normal-looking necklace, "W-Wait, isn't this a rare tier 4 necklace?" [ITEM: ROSARIO] [TIER 4: RARE] [LEVEL REQUIREMENT: No requirements] [RE
The old man hammered the shield that laying onto the anvil, and just as it landed down, a very loud clang could be heard while the shield itself emitted a strong light that enveloped the entire forging room.He began to approach me, holding the shield with both of his hands, and spoke in a serious tone, "Young man, seems like luck was on your side.""You mean?" I took the shield out of his hand and immediately check its status."So, young man. What do you think?" He asked, straightening his broad shoulders."I-It was perfect, a no, I am rich!" Is this what it feels like holding a soon-to-be cash?"Hold your house down, young man!"

As soon as I realized it, an ogre-like growl could be heard from downstairs while each of its footsteps created a trebling sound from the ground. I told mom, and little sister to go to my room and hide for a while and was thankful that they didn't ask why nor stop me from what I'm about to do. "If it was really an ogre then.. Hah! no time to dilly dally!" I mumbled. I hurriedly went downstairs and as soon as I saw the ogre, I lured it away from our house while I could feel its destructive strength from afar as he chased after me. As I run, I was trying to restrict its movement by firing a lightning bullet from its torso. But as expected, apart from its destructive strength, its magical and physical defense was quite high. "I can't fight him like this!" I yelled as I run and attracted those goblins from each side to my location thus my plan was about to start. I took one of the EXP Boosters from my inventory and immediately drank it. "If I can't fight you, then let me annihilate
