Sitting behind his desk a 20 something-year-old young man named Shiro was immersively looking at screens of the game Martial Life Online it is a game that is Owned by FreeGames International, it used to be the most popular Free2Play VRMMO Immersion based game on the market 23 years ago.
The name suggests as Martial Life Online is a game where people follow a certain path that is unique to the user. Martial Life Online provides the user with a stat known as insight which is the primary way of determining how fast a user can learn a skill for combat, insight is determined by scanning the right anterior superior temporal gyrus inside of the brain that connects to other areas of the brain. besides insight, other stats exist that affect the path of the user such as Insight Root, Martial Wheel, Spirit Root and Six Sense these are the main primary stats that exist within the game besides these there are other subs, rare and unique stats within the game.
On the screen, Shiro was looking at a whole guild fighting against one single monster that looked like an amalgamation of true darkness coupled with a titanic sized serpent, the vanguard and main force of this guild were two, one of them looked like a golden knight straight out of a superhero movie and the other looked like a wisp of silver slipping through time and space, both of them used flashy and spectacular moves to counteract the titanic amalgamation of darkness.
Shiro: OMG, its Radiant Knight Artemis Primo, leader of the Blade And Knight guild and Silver Legend Luca together fighting the World Class monster Harvanix ninth Serpent of the Shadow world!
Shiro held his breath afterward he let loose a massive sigh
Shiro: I can't believe it has already been 10 years since this uploaded to MegaNet, it's such a pity that it isn't what it used to be, FreeGames a massive company suddenly vanished altogether, 2000 plus employees fired on the spot.
FreeGames international was a Massive gaming development and V-tech based company that appeared 35 years ago, the first game they released was called Hero Path Online after that came Legends Online and then came a few other such as Star Sight Online, Fate or Die Online and lastly Lifeline Online, each and every single one of these games became a big hit in their respective countries and made crowd go wild every time a unique game from FreeGames International was released, but their biggest hit which first became popular in China, Martial Life Online soon became a hit throughout whole of Asia spreading out towards western based countries soon after.
Even though Martial Life Online went offline multiplayer wise the servers for the game stayed online through a self-sustaining private server built within the game pod of Martial Life Online.
The gaming pod was at its time of release something that hadn't been seen before, it was a self-sustainable life pod that kept the user indefinitely healthy and well by freezing the body on a subatomic level for a period of time, before unfreezing them again, through this method there would not be any harm brought to any of the major organs, the user could continue gaming as long as the wanted, but rest was highly advised. The gaming pod had other features such as its power to process data is 100 times stronger than anything of that time and the immersion rate was 100%, due to mental health reasons the immersion rate was lowered to a max of 77%.
After looking at the screen for a period of time Shiro turns off his computer and gets into his gaming pod which he purchased 17 years ago, its one that is more sided towards a hardened shell so the internal components don't get damaged, but at the expense of comfortableness. Shiro calmed his breathing afterward he pushes a button which when pressed activates a synchronization with pod and the user sending them to the world of fantasies.

Shiro looks at his status screen, his chest feels with emotions of nostalgia.
Shiro: I can't believe it, it has taken 10 years to get to this point just because I was born with a brain that process information a bit slower compared to others, but I guess it has its plus points since I never forget what I've learned at least it feels like that every time I learn something new, now its time to finally become a Martial Star Sage.
Shiro took out a potion from his inventory called Martial Revival Potion Of Mazjiet the Great, it is classified as Martial Star Sage item and it Gives the user +1 insight which is almost non-existent item since insight is such a rare commodity, especially after the servers, went offline the percentage of an insight item appearing went from 10% when fighting world class bosses to 0.1%.
Shiro tilted his head backward and drank the potions, several seconds later he heard a long-awaited notification.
*Congratulations to User xXShiroIsGodXx you are now a Martial Star Sage*
*User xXShiroIsGodXx has unlocked Martial Life Mode*
Shiro looked up to notice a bright red notification appeared beside the normal one
Shiro: Martial Life Mode?
*Limiter Restriction removed once entering Martial Life mode user will lose 2 Rank reverting to Martial Sky King Rank with no return towards the outside world*
Shiro mind went blank after hearing the gamepod announcement
Shiro: impossible all of that work will be lost if I enter Martial Life mode, why haven't I heard of this before?
Shiro wondered what to do next
Shiro: I have a family, friends, money but nothing valuable to spend it on, agh what to do!!!
Shiro hesitated on what to do before he was going to make a decision, Shiro first wanted to take everything in so he did what any other person would do when faced with such a life-changing opportunity, he went to bed.
Next morning Shiro woke up, made some scrambled eggs and a nice glass of orange juice to go along with it.
Shiro: First things first I have to choose what I want to do next, first I have to say goodbye to my parents, afterward my friends and then I should be good to go if I'm right which may be, I won't be back for a very long while.
Shiro released a sigh and cleaned everything before visiting his parents, his parents are two hard-working and kind-hearted men, Shiro was adopted when he was 10. Shiro spent the whole day with his dads first he went out for food afterward he had a conversation asking advice on what to do and guidance from his parents, his parents adviced that he should follow his heart and do what he thinks is best and Shiro agreed with them.
After a whole day of great joy, Shiro called his two closest friends and informed them he was going on an adventure to a distant land, they encouraged Shiro to do it since he spent all his time in the gamepod.
With everything done and finished, Shiro went to bed to get a good night rest for his big adventure awaiting him tomorrow.
