Wang Yu’s’ soul was unwillingly pulled by the suction force. “That terms and conditions thing is a forced oath and soul search arts. On top of that I didn’t felt any pain when my soul was searched which means my hunch is right that a major power is behind this, because that soul searching art has been perfected to such degree, even with my injured soul, to search my soul without me noticing is very formidable. And I only noticed it after. The oath is quite simple though, it just said to never divulge to anyone the secrets of this realm and only when I have enough strength to fight his enemies then shall I have to fight them. I feel sorry for all those people who played this game, they know nothing that their everything were seen. Crap, I can’t believe that I willingly let them search my soul, now whoever is behind this game already knows my identity, I wonder how would they react.” Wang Yu grinned as he thought of this.
Wang Yu was not concerned about his identity being revealed, he just doesn’t like the feeling of being tricked. But since the case was already been done might as well face it head on.
Soon Wang Yu felt his physical body but he knew this was different one because he can actually move his limbs now. “So an exact avatar of my mortal body is made on this side.” Wang Yu thought to himself. But before Wang Yu could opened his eyes, he heard a sweet voice of a woman saying, “Your Majesty welcome to Immortal Heroes Online! My name is Miracle, would you like to retain your original appearance or have a healthier version of you?” These snapped open Wang Yu’ s eyes in shock, not because of the woman’s beautiful voice nor her calling him, “Your Majesty.”
“You still have the nerve to joke about my appearance after you called me your majesty?” Wang Yu asked irritably. Wang Yu is proud by nature and he knew this person knew him all too well already, so what’s up with the unnecessary comments.
In immortal Heroes Online your original facial features will be retained. For customizing your character one has the freedom to alter only the texture of your skin, skin color, body type and appearance by age. To further explain appearance by age is for example at present you are just a thin teenage boy, with this feature you can choose a buffed version of you at the late 20’s. The system can calculate the everything as long as your original identity will not be altered. This is because if you want to disguise yourself in-game, there are many secret arts that can help you with that.
Miracle responded with a smile and said, “So his Majesty wishes to retain his appearance?”
Wang Yu looked at the woman, she is a heaven defying beauty with long golden hair that waves down until her knees. She wore a white laced dress that showed her pale white shoulders. She didn’t wear any footwear and just floated an inch above the ground. They were in a place that everything is white, he can’t even see the ground but knew he was stepping on something. As how Wang Yu knew she was floating, he just can tell it so.
“Of course I don’t want to change it.” Wang Yu lost all his anger after he saw this naïve looking girl. Although his current self looks rather pitiful, Wang Yu is a proud person so he would never hate himself no matter what he looks.
“There will be changes of your majesty’s character because master has set character penalties incase such accidents to happen for fairness sake. Your majesty’s character will be penalized with only gaining 1% of the total experience points when killing monsters and 5% of the total experience when completing a quest.” Before Miracle could continue explaining.
“Why don’t you stop calling me your majesty if you're treating me this poorly.” Wang Yu interjected when he heard those outrageous penalties because he was informed by the doctor that monster grinding is the main source of experience in the game. That means he needs to kill a hundred times more monsters while regular players only need to kill one monster of the same kind to have the same amount of exp. Taking quest missions also rewards tons of experience but they usually take a lot of time to complete and with the experience penalty, completing won’t be worth it considering the amount of time you spend unless you’re after the item rewards or reputation rewards. But unknown to Wang Yu if the master of this inheritance world is present he would set an even more outrageous penalty, it’s just he never thought of such existence like Wang Yu would appear in his inheritance world and the probability was just impossible so he just set 1% of the total experience gained the penalty limit.

“Oh no! I can’t do that your Majesty because master said that, I have to address a higher being with great respect.” Miracle hurriedly replied.
“Where is your master then? I want to talk to him.” Wang Yu probed Miracle.
“Sorry your Majesty, but I cannot answer your question.” Although Miracle maintained her smiling face, but with Wang Yu’s perception, he was still able to detect her sadness which verified his guess that for the master of this inheritance world, to hide his inheritance in a mortal world, he had paid it with his life. The reason is that, mortal worlds are located into dimensions which are cut-off from the universe where there is almost to nothing immortal energy present here. These worlds are the product of minor gods creating their own world but since they’re just minor figures, their worlds have no right to exist in the universe or it’ll be destroyed by a random higher being, so they chose to hide them in these dimensions. Major powers don’t like to share their territory with irrelevant figures and almost all of space have been overlorded by these powers. So why would a major existence’s inheritance located here? The most probable answers is that he was hiding here gravely injured and unwilling to give up his fight, he used the remaining of his life force to make his inheritance world. Fight between major powers can go through eternity, unless the winning side thoroughly purged the defeated. It will be no surprise if the defeated descendant would pick a fight with them in the future. And this appeared to be the case in this Immortal Heroes Online, he had thoroughly disguised his inheritance in a virtual reality gaming world and purpose of the “terms and conditions” at the start is to prevent information from leaking out.
“Is that all you have to say? Can I start now?” Wang Yu was getting impatient because of the penalty, his plan to get off that hospital as early as possible would seem to be much delayed.
“Your Majesty will you change the name of your character or use another one?” Miracle added.
“I’m fine with using my real name.” Wang Yu didn’t bother with naming.
“Then that’s all your Majesty, I will not hold you any longer. Good luck.” Miracle waved her hands to Wang Yu, then he transformed into a ball of white light that shot into the distance.
After Wang Yu disappeared Miracle is still floating in that space speaking to herself, “Master looks like your luck has come, but why do you have to make him come through this much trials even impairing his progress. If such an existence would carry out your plan, isn’t it much easier just to give him everything? Aye, I just can’t understand why people complicate things so much. But for me to actually met with an Elder God hehe, master would be jealous if he knew. Only that I don’t know where did master have gone to?” Naïve as she is, Miracle has no clue that her master has already left her forever.
Usually, Miracle doesn’t meet with players but when she knew of Wang Yu, she was very interested in meeting him and for the first time disobeyed her master’s orders. Her reason aside from curiosities sake, she want to brag to her master her achievement. Although Miracle’s master is an incredible figure but Elder Gods are the apex existence known in the universe, the creators. However she won’t ever have the opportunity to tell him this. And also she was very curious of what would be Wang Yu's reaction on seeing because her master usually brag that Miracle was his best creation that even Elder Gods would be interested in her. However, Wang Yu was plain as blank paper, that is why she teased him a bit but this was to be expected because the current him is too weak to see through her.

Now Wang Yu has reached his destination after being transported by the ball of white light. He is now standing at the center of a array magic circle. Wang Yu looked around his surroundings with a smile on his face, “This all affirms my guess, with the presence of immortal energy here, I can now start cultivating.” But before Wang Yu could try it out, a person hurriedly approached him and greeted him, “Greetings newcomer and welcome to Raccoon Village, my name is Rakan the Village Chief.”
