Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a parallel world.

AD 2161.

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

The old television in front of the bed continuously reported the news as it produced static “bzz bzz” sounds.

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

“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.

“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.

“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.

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

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

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

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

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

“This year… is 2161?

“I’ve transmigrated???”

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

Fair, young, and strong!

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

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

‘Warm…

‘It’s real!’

Mike was utterly convinced with his transmigration.

He had transmigrated to 30 years ago!!!

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

100 years ago, which was 2060.

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

People 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.

Although the appearance of such an “online game” was already surprising enough, what came after was even more shocking.

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