Leav Goes to Another World

Chapter 1: Conquer the Child of Heaven's Labyrinth

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

VRMMORPG is a virtual reality based game with the theme World of Fantasy and Magic. As in the concept of a fantasy world in general, the setting will be like the earth of medieval Europe, where the system of society will be divided based on caste.

In the past year, VR technology has suddenly increased quite rapidly. A certain company that developed this technology said that now users can quietly relax in bed or anywhere when they are diving into the virtual world. The virtual world itself has been developed to be able to apply the five senses well. That is why today's VR technology is the best and is in great demand by the public even though the price is too expensive.

But the problem of price, it can be reached with my family's finances. Therefore, my maid named Martha bought me a set of VR devices. Of course the funds came from my parents after Martha got their permission.

Martha suddenly bought me a set of Virtual Reality-based RPG games that are quite popular among the rich, this game is called The Land of Fantastia.

I wasn't a gamer at first. I just want to be alone in my room for the rest of my life. My father and mother always left me, never paid attention to me and only made me feel lonely since childhood. Even though there was Martha at home, who worked as a maid, she still couldn't replace the person called the parents. That's why I always feel lonely.

I am very jealous of those who are able to spend time with family. Those who had time to celebrate birthdays together. And those who always hold Christmas parties and have family chats at the end of every year arrive.

I'm envious of never being able to have such a real experience. Even if I begged, my parents just shook their heads and said, "Sorry my dear, mom and dad are busy right now. I'll see you later." That's the answer I always get.

Sadness and anger are always raging inside of me. It often occurred to me, why was I born to them if I was only going to be ignored.

I always felt my life was meaningless.

Because of that, I don't care about my life anymore and become a loner in my room.

I always locked myself in my room, even though a lot of people expected me to go out. If my parents remained not worried, then I would never go out. Of course, except for getting food or going to the toilet. Other than those two things, I'm going to stay quiet in the room.

When I was bored, silent, and kept locking myself in my room, Martha who brought food as usual came with other things. It was placed as usual in front of the bedroom door, and after Martha left, I would open the door to take her current meal along with something else.

After finishing the food, I decided to check what things it was. Previously Martha said this is a kind of game that is quite popular and useful to overcome my boredom. So without hesitation I went to give it a try. Besides, I have a lot of free time.

This is the first time for me to play online games. Especially VR based.

Following the steps provided in the flyer, I managed to install the game in just a few hours. Maybe about 5 hours.

And since I've decided to give it a go, I go diving to login once the device installation is complete.

Then all I have to do is character creation and other settings.

Since my main body in the real world is small and skinny with a height of about 140 cm, in the virtual world I will make my Avatar display in a normal height for a 15-year-old. As for the other characteristics I leave it as it is.

After that, I'll be taken to a beginner town. Get game guides and accept various party or guild invitations that I will accept. But for such things I will reluctantly refuse.

Unlike other players, when I play games, I spend my time adventuring alone, to be precise I prefer to play solo rather than form a party. Besides, I'm not used to being with other people.

Also, as long as I'm playing solo, I also continue to avoid over-interacting with other players or NPCs. Only when I need something, even though there's really very little I can turn to for help.

As such, I often avoid living in the city and instead I am more active in the outdoors and enjoy exploring the natural beauty of gaming and heading to new places. I also go for challenges alone, such as diving into the game's beautiful labyrinth.

There are so many labyrinths in the game, and each labyrinth has a different depth. The depth of the labyrinth is measured by the number of floors in it. Each floor has its own level of difficulty with the certainty that the difficulty will increase as I advance through the floors.

And among all the labyrinths that exist in this game world, there is a labyrinth that is the most famous for its annoying difficulty level. Usually labyrinths don't have more than 50 floors, but this labyrinth is the only one that has floors up to 100.

This labyrinth is called the Heaven's Child Labyrinth.

To think that even 50 floors is already very difficult to complete, especially if there are 100. And also the deeper you dive into the labyrinth, the time it takes to clear the floors in this labyrinth will also increase. In other words, as the floor increases, the difficulty level will increase.

In addition, on each floor of the labyrinth there are various unexpected and definitely deadly traps. Here you have to carefully ascertain every corner and skillfully overcome all the traps. It would be very difficult because sometimes some of the traps would be hard to find and be in an unexpected place or in someone's blind spot.

In addition, the labyrinth passages are very misleading, you must be skilled in making maps so as not to get lost inside. What's more, the most annoying thing for any challenger is the fact that the floor passages in this labyrinth will be reshuffled after 24 hours. This makes it the same as starting over if the challenger hasn't finished exploring the labyrinth floor.

And above all there are monsters that inhabit the labyrinth. And as usual the lower the floor, the monsters will be stronger of course. Worst of all, monsters could freely activate traps. Intentionally or not, the traps activated by the monsters would only affect the challenger of the labyrinth. The monsters, despite being hit by the traps they activated, had no impact on them. Like penetrate or disappear. And that's what makes this labyrinth so troublesome.

Therefore, it was only natural that it would take a very long time to clear this labyrinth.

In addition, there is another thing that causes challengers to give up easily to conquer this labyrinth, namely when you die in the labyrinth or you go out of the labyrinth, you have to start over from the beginning. Unlike normal labyrinths which allow challengers to start from the last floor they have reached. In the Child of Heaven's Labyrinth, the challenger had to start over if they died or decided to get out of the labyrinth.

So what if you want to log out?

So when you want to log out, all you have to do is find a safe zone around you and log out at that time. However, finding a safe area is very difficult. The easiest way is to go to each of the stairs between floors. But finishing the floor was also more difficult. There are also safe areas on each floor, although finding them is also difficult and sometimes you have to clear them of the monsters first. So just looking for a safe zone, it will take many hours.

That's what causes many to give up in conquering this labyrinth. The players said, “It will be a waste if we explore this labyrinth, let's go!” and like “We don't have time for this annoying labyrinth!?”. Then go to find something more useful.

A lot of people have criticized the developers for how annoying this labyrinth is. But the developers ignored all that, because that's how the labyrinth was supposed to be made.

This labyrinth is like testing players for three things, namely patience, fortitude, and perseverance. And on top of that, it takes an unyielding spirit and strong determination.

That's why, very few players are willing to conquer this labyrinth. Just thinking it would be a waste of time, most players would rather seek other pleasures from this game than try to conquer this annoying labyrinth. That's what most players think.

But it doesn't matter to me, I can be patient to face the loneliness when I dive into the labyrinth. Days or months, I could spend game time just diving into this labyrinth. That's not a problem at all. After all, who am I? Don't underestimate my self-locking skills all this time.

That's why, even if it takes a long time, I have no desire to stop trying to conquer this 100th floor labyrinth.

I continued to endure and survive on this floor without any objections in my heart.

Until finally I was able to finish this labyrinth after a year.
