Chapter 2: Chapter 1 Samsara Online

In the past, a war between the existences that humanity refers to as 'Gods' or 'Demons', destroyed planets, stars, and galaxies; caused the entire universe to tremble.

However, one of those Gods opposed all of them... because of a woman.

In the future, a war between the one who was once the strongest but was forgotten by the river of time, and those who planned against him, will make the universe tremble once again.

Shanghai, China.

Shanghai, also known as the pearl of the east, is the largest city in China and Asia's economic center. Anyone who has been to Shanghai knows that its modernity has nothing to envy to cities like New York.

Although Shanghai remains deeply linked to its history of more than 3000 years, the city today seems to be taken from a science fiction film where modernity and globalization have taken the lead.

Luxury Villa Complex - Golden Emperor.

As one of the most luxurious villa complexes in Shanghai, the Golden Emperor villa complex enjoyed a great reputation not only for the luxury villas presented for sale; but also because it was only 20 minutes away from the University of Shanghai.

The cheapest villas had an 8-digit value, while the most expensive villas had an excellent 9-digit sales value.

Villa No. 9

Sitting on a large sofa, a young man and a woman watched the news with great anticipation and enthusiasm at the same time.

The young man was 20 years old, his eyes were dark and his hair slightly disheveled. He could be considered as quite tall as the average height of Chinese men was 5.5 feet while he was 6.0 feet.

His appearance was normal. At best, it could be described as above average. However, if someone were to look closely, they would notice that his body was actually in great condition.

The girl was 19 years old and incredibly beautiful, unlike the normal appearance of the young man. Her soft, long black hair fell down her waist freely without any restraints. Her body proportions were practically perfect, big but not explosive breasts, excellently shaped butt, thin waist, and silky white skin.

The young man's name was Xie Feng, and the girl next to him was Xie Yao, his childhood friend.

Because her parents died in an unfortunate car accident 2 years ago, he and she only had each other.

Although Xie Yao had more family, she didn't bother to contact them often; therefore, Xie Feng didn't bother either. Fortunately for both of them, Xie Yao's father was a wise person and had already prepared himself in case such an unfortunate situation arose.

Today, Xie Feng and Xie Yao owned a company valued at more than 1 billion Chinese yuan on the market.

While they both go to university, the family butler, who also saw Xie Yao's father as his own son, was in charge of maintaining the finances.

Xie Feng and Xie Yao visit the company regularly to show their faces and learn more about how they work. After all, when they graduate from university, they will have to take care of their right.

(A/N: There are many "her" that seem to be wrong (when talking about family), but actually, they were put that way for a reason, this is revealed in chapter 14-15 or so).

...

"Today, Thursday January 25th 2030, is one of the most awaited days by all humanity, especially for those who love the virtual world and those who are looking for new business opportunities."

From the plasma screen, the voice of a beautiful woman resonates.

"Why don't you tell us more about it?"-Her co-worker asked, clearly it was a typical script prepared in advance because there is no way that anyone in their right mind could not know what would happen today.

"Because today at 12 noon, the official opening of Samsara Online will begin.

Samsara Online, the first virtual reality video game that is 100% supported by the World Central Bank.

As you all know, the World Central Bank is formed by all the most important banks in the world. This means that everyone in the world will be able to exchange real money for gold within the world of Samsara Online as soon as the currency exchange is available!"

This is one of the most amazing things about Samsara Online. Although there have been several virtual reality games in the past, the World Central Bank has always stood aside no matter how much profit you can make from them.

Due to the lack of confidence and ignorance about when a game could suddenly close, people did not dare to risk their money for gold within the game.

However, with the World Central Bank putting a foot in the door, everything changed.

In the past, the virtual reality world was mainly taken as a means of entertainment by each player. But now, players will have more opportunities to live than they love, but investors from all over the world will begin to move in.

After all, Samsara Online is a new unexplored world with infinite opportunities available, waiting to be discovered. Business tycoons and geniuses naturally know what this means, so obviously, they will not let such an opportunity slip through their fingers.

This means that the economy of the whole world and humanity's decisions will take a big turn when Samsara Online officially starts.

The beautiful journalist continued:

"Samsara Online is a virtual world in which there are several types of magic and skills unique to each character. Besides, according to Miss Eva, creator of Samsara Online, a seemingly unlimited amount of equipment and elements with different types of qualities are available within the game.

Not only that, the most incredible thing is that the NPCs within Samsara Online were developed with the most advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) available to date, so all players can expect a fluid dialogue as a human being by each NPC-.."

Xie Feng turned off the TV without waiting for the journalist to finish speaking, but this is also natural since he was looking for information on every internet forum to not miss anything.

Xie Yao looked at Xie Feng and said cheerfully:

"Big brother Xie Feng, Samsara Online will finally start"

Xie Feng also looked at her with a smile and responded:

"Yes...finally."

Since the last virtual reality game closed 10 months ago, Xie Feng felt that he missed an important part of his life.

So, when he learned about the launch and qualities of Samsara Online 3 months ago he felt like being reborn from the ashes just like a dying phoenix.

Besides, something inside him told him that Samsara Online would be very different from previous virtual reality games.

"Big brother Xie Feng, what kind of character will you choose this time?" -Xie Yao asked with a sweet smile on her face.

At Xie Yao's question, Xie Feng smiled and replied:

"What do you think? Naturally, I will choose the assassin class."

In all previous virtual reality video games, Xie Feng always chose the battle style of an Assassin, so he feels more comfortable using an assassin character.

"And what style of battle will you choose, Yao'er?" -This time it was Xie Feng's turn to ask Xie Yao.

Xie Yao crossed her arms as she thought for a moment. After thinking carefully for several seconds and reaffirming her previous choice, she responded:

"I will choose the Priest class! Unfortunately, the big brother Xie Feng is an Assassin and generally moves in the background, unlike a warrior who needs a Priest's support in certain situations. Otherwise, I could heal you and protect your back."

You could feel a little bit of sadness in Xie Yao's tone. Because Xie Feng always chooses the same fighting style, she cannot be with him too long in the virtual world as the Assassins need to move through the shadows and become invisible, so the presence of another person would ruin the surprise factor when attacking.

Xie Feng smiled bitterly at Xie Yao's words. He approached her and gave her a hug while gently kissing her on top of her silky hair.

When Xie Yao felt the embrace of the only person close to her, all the slight sadness she felt just moments ago was completely gone. She simply closed her eyes and enjoyed the family warmth she felt at this moment.

After hugging for several minutes in silence, Xie Feng raised his face and looked at the clock hanging on one of the walls.

11:27

That was the exact time marked by the clock. That meant that there were only 33 minutes left for the Samsara Online server to officially start for the first time.

At that moment humanity will enter a completely new and unknown world that will affect the development of the real world and the economy of every person for the first time.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Xie Feng was.

Although a little reluctantly, Xie Yao gave up Xie Feng's hug so that the two of them could prepare to enter the game. Therefore, he and she returned to their respective rooms.

***

Xie Feng's room.

After entering his room, Xie Feng lay comfortably in his bed and looked at the current time again:

11:30

Xie Feng wore his right hand on a silver-colored necklace that hung around his neck. This necklace is the device that allows the user's mind to connect to Samsara Online's main server.

Because in the past there were many problems with the old gaming devices, such as losing the account of a large number of users after losing the device, the major corporations in charge of developing virtual reality video games put a lot of effort into creating this object.

The necklace allows that, after saving your fingerprints and iris information in any of the centers that sell the device, the account is registered through those data.

That way, even if the device is lost or broken for some reason, people don't need to start from 0 and lose all their previous progress.

Xie Feng gently pressed the small button in the center of the collar. After the button was pressed, a green light began to flash slightly.

Soon, Xie Feng felt sleep attacking him, and his eyes began to close. Aware that the gaming device was trying to send his consciousness into the virtual world, Xie Feng cooperated and closed his eyes.

[Ding!]

"Welcome to Samsara Online! I am your fairy presenter, you can call me Jade! Samsara Online is conceived by many as the future second world of humanity and to live up to the expectations placed on us, we have developed a world in which magic is possible, unlike the past virtual worlds in which there were only simple skills!"

In a completely white world, a small pixie the size of a palm with transparent wings appeared in front of Xie Feng.

Xie Feng did not waste any time and listened to the little fairy speak without missing a word.

"Within the world of Samsara Online, you can choose different types of lives. From a miner, chef, or a warrior who fights against fierce monsters trying to reach the top of the world. The map of Samsara Online is enormously vast, waiting for you to discover it. Now let me tell you about the 5 main cities:

Eminentis City: It is located at the northern end of the world of Samsara Online. Eminentis City is the city where you and all the players will start at the beginning of the game after you leave the beginner's village. To leave the beginner's village and enter Eminentis City, you must first reach level 10.

Lumence City: Located at the east of the map, the level of the monsters surrounding Lumence City is higher than the level of the monsters surrounding Eminentis City, so you must be careful if you try to get there before having the right level and strength.

Redemption City: Located west of map and also known for being an area with extremely low temperatures. The level of the monsters is approximately the same as the monsters surrounding Lumence City however, due to the cold, the difficulty of fighting in this part of the map increases several folds. Remember to wear a coat!

Requiem City: Requiem City is located at the southern end of the map, completely opposite Eminentis City. The level of monsters surrounding the map goes from level 80 to level 100! This makes the areas of the map surrounding Requiem City off-limits to novice players!

Grandeux City: Grandeux City, also known as the Imperial City As you may have guessed, it is located in the central part of the Samsara world map. Grandeux City is the city where the highest authority of Samsara Online lives, the emperor. Players will be able to enter the Imperial City after reaching level 50."

The little fairy, Jade, gave Xie Feng some knowledge about cities, which was not available in the internet forums.

Xie Feng listened carefully and memorized every word. Although it was not information with a high level of importance, it is better to remember every little detail whenever possible.

After talking about the 5 major cities and some small towns and villages surrounding them, Jade smiled happily and said:

"It is now 11:40 AM and the Samsara Online server will officially start in just 20 minutes! You can take advantage of these 20 minutes to see your natural statistics and create your character!"

'Finally, here it is!' -Xie Feng thought to himself.

The first step will finally be officially taken.
