Chapter 139 Poorly

A poorly lit room littered with snacks boxes and clothes, filled with the chattering sounds of a fast typed keyboard, A desktop computer could be seen displaying the action-packed video of the world's most popular videogame, "Devil's Call," which was released two years ago.

A young man could be seen wearing a game headset, his hands controlling his Avatar like a pro, his movement in the game was precise, dodging and attacking at the right angle that the giant boss he was fighting didn't even have a chance to remove his Avatar's HP.

The young man succeeded in drawing the boss's Hit point to the point where it could no longer withstand it with precise attacks from his Avatar.

[You have Defeated Devil's Lackey Level 150]

The young man received an in-game notification, but he did not shout or move as if he was overjoyed with his victory.

It was the other way around; he seemed bored, but of what?

Damon, 19 years old, has been in charge of caring for his two younger siblings since his parents died in a car accident 5 years ago.

As a result, he had to drop out of high school in order to work in a supermarket and support his siblings.

He works his tail off during the day, trying to make ends meet, but at night, he plays video games to relieve stress and forget about the unfair world.

Before his parents died, they owed a total of $30 million to one of his uncles. Since then, his uncle has been bothering him, even seizing some of his parents' properties.

[a?aSomeone's callinga?a]

[a?aPick up, pick upa?a]

His phone vibrated at the side of the table, drawing his attention to it; he looked at the caller icon and saw "Jaden," his best friend who has been there for him since his parents died.

He picked it up without hesitation and slid the call icon to the green icon.

"Hey, Jaden, how are you?"

[Bro, have you forgotten what day it is?]

"Um, I think I did; could you remind me?"

[I knew you'd forget something important so easily.]

"I'm guessing you finally won Sarah's heart, congratulations bro, it's been three years since you started..."

[F*ck This has nothing to do with Sarah. Anyway, since you forgot, allow me to remind you. Today marks the official release of Freshcorn's VR game. Desperate Dimension]

Damon almost choked up with joy when he heard this.

Damon is overjoyed that the world's first VR MMO will be released by the best videogame company in the world; he will finally be able to experience the world of games for himself rather than just controlling Avatars.

This is what he has been waiting for; after suffering in this world by having to work his butt off, endure insults from frustrated customers, and his pot bellied boss, he will finally be visiting a new world where none of this will affect him.

His joy was cut short when he remembered something a�" the money required to purchase the game helmet.

"Bro, I don't think I'll join you guys early in the game world because I need to get my salary for this month before I can buy it."

[What kind of salary, common bro? Stop being sarcastic, I've already ordered one online for you, and it'll be here before the server launches three hours from now.]

Damon's gratitude for Jaden grew as he heard this. He thanked him sincerely, but Jaden asked him to end the call, and both of them hung up.

Ding, ding, ding.

The electrical bell had begun to ring. Damon knew right away that his game helmet had arrived when he heard this electrical bell, and he dashed outside to get it.

"This is it." He was overjoyed and honored to receive this; he will definitely repay his best friend one day when he is finally wealthy.

"It will be launched by 8 p.m. this evening, and it's already 6, so I should just read the manual during this time."

Damon is not a reincarnator, and he has never played Desperate Dimension, so he needed to educate himself on the virtual journey he is about to embark on.

Scanning through the light booklet provided him with sufficient knowledge; it took him only 2 minutes to complete the light booklet.

He discovered in the booklet that one day in the virtual world equals six hours in the real world.

At the same time.

His younger brother Xavier walked in, dressed in his basketball jersey; Xavier and his other sibling Marian are twins.

"Have you heard, big brother? Today marks the release of Freshcorn's new VR game Desperate Dimension."

Xavier is 15, he is the top student in his class because of his grades, he doesn't like video games and only plays them once in a while, but he is very good at basketball.

"I understand." Damon responded nonchalantly, not surprised that his younger brother was aware of the game; in fact, it was natural given that the news of it had become the song on everyone's lips.

"I almost forgot, where is Marian?"

"She went outside. In case I forget, I won't be joining you guys for dinner tonight; don't bother calling me because I have something going on."

"Ok." Xavier went into his room to change, while Damon went into his room to prepare for the final three minutes of the Desperate Dimension.

Damon carefully placed the game helmet on his head, and his consciousness drifted to another dimension with a mechanical sound.

He was in a portal leading to the location where his Avatar would be registered.

He arrived at the portal's end and is now in a dark room.

Damon's consciousness was transported to this vast world of desperate Dimension, a world in which he will be able to experience fantasy; whether magic, monsters, or martial arts.

Damon took in the fragrance of the sweet flowing air with a happy heart, but this only lasted a few seconds before he realized where he was.

[Player 'Damon' is the first to discover the Rank D 'Hall of Flame' Dungeon, Fame +100]

His heart skipped a beat when he saw this message. Wtf, he was just arriving, how the fuck did he suddenly enter a rank D Dungeon?

"A system error, damnit, I must notify the game programmer after I log out, those people must be out of their mind when they did this." Damon was annoyed.

"Log out."

He commanded, expecting a notification to tell him that he had logged out or for him to be back in his room. But damn, none of that was happening right now; instead, a notification was sent to him, not for the purpose of logging out, but for something entirely different.

[Because you are in a dungeon, all attempts to log out will fail.]

"Oh damn you, don't tell me this nonsense, I was expecting a fun world to explore, maybe make friends with NPCs, or grind some monsters to level up, why am I stuck here?"

His head twitched at the sight of the notification, and he couldn't help but scream in rage at the notification's purpose.

"Because this thing won't let me leave, I might as well see what this dungeon is made of. But first, I need to check my stats to see if I'll be able to survive. Stats."

Following his command, a transparent system interface appeared, on one side of it was his face.

"How am I going to survive with this measly stats of mine?"

Damon was disappointed with his own stats, but he later kept his calm side, it's a game after all, no need to be so damn disappointed if he can just grind some monsters to level up.

Other players must have reached level 1 or even level 2, while he, a pro gamer, was trapped inside a dungeon on his first play, that was another thing that ma de h im disappointed with the wa y thi ng s have turned out.
