In the year 2515, Earth, the home of humanity, had already been devastated beyond repair. Four hundred years prior, humans had begun constructing massive floating space bases above the Earth's surface. These bases acted as both the last stepping stone into space and the only temporary home for humans until they could reach their ultimate goal.
Twenty years ago, humans had completely left Earth's surface and migrated to the space bases, known as the Second Home. However, the Earth's surface had become synonymous with disasters and diseases that could devour everything within reach. The closer one was to the surface, the more affected they were. Additionally, life in the space bases was severely restricted, forcing humans to adapt to a new way of living, presenting a huge mental challenge.
Therefore, ten years ago, the World United Government proposed the Second World Project, which began testing six years ago. Now, the Second World's game world was close to mature, and any Earth citizen over the age of sixteen automatically received the right to a Second World account.
As the Second World had become humanity's second home, everything became dependent on it. Thus, almost every Earth citizen over sixteen had entered the game world, becoming a player.
Meanwhile, due to the Second World's success, the Empire Gaming Company had become the largest gaming company globally. Over the last sixty years, it had acquired over 90% of other large gaming companies worldwide. Even the rare few still struggling to survive tried developing network games controlled by an AI system, but inevitably failed.
The technology behind a self-thinking AI system in a real virtual network game, also known as being the absolute mastermind, was nearly impossible to complete. For the past four to five hundred years, no matter how much money or research power anyone utilized, they couldn't break through this technology.
Thus, Empire Gaming Company's technology was also one of the world's most top-secret pieces of information. No one knew who created it, let alone how Empire Gaming Company acquired it. No one within Empire Gaming Company's upper management knew its true origin.
Empire Gaming Company existed in the Second World as an official entity, but it was not the "God" of the game world, merely one of the "Nobles," enjoying absolute privileges, rights, and the sole "communicator" with the system's AI brain.
...
Chen Mo was 22 years old, and six years ago, at 16, he entered the Second World and made a name for himself. His in-game character "I'm just a legend" became famous, especially in the last three years. Because of this, the guild he was a part of rose to become the number one guild in the ninth district.
But just a minute ago, he had committed virtual suicide and was reborn.
Because...
Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, and when the black chip world card, the size of a fingernail, appeared on his right hand, he already exited the game world of the Second World.

"Di di!"
As Chen Mo, who had just exited the game, stretched and readied himself to sleep in his sleeping pod, dozens of projections suddenly appeared in front of him. The shadows of dozens of people appeared like real people.
"Chen Mo, are you crazy or what?"
The middle-aged man, Li Tianhao, was the President of the League of Legends, and at this moment, he was trembling with fear. He stared at Chen Mo with a ferocious expression. He was also standing behind Chen Mo, screaming hysterically.
"Li boss, you woke us up late at night. I have to lead the new recruits tomorrow morning!"
Mo Xiaodao, whose Second World name was Xiaodao, was one of the elite leaders in the League of Legends and specifically responsible for training and developing new members of the guild.
"Brother, are you causing trouble in the game again? Which unfortunate rich guy did you kill and make lose everything again?"
Chen Chen, whose Second World name was Xingchen, was one of the few elite female leaders in the League of Legends, responsible for developing the team of female players.
"Hahaha, I bet this time the legendary brother did something righteous again, and that's why Li boss is so mad. Hey brother, what precious things did you carelessly give away?"
Liu Ying, also known as Shadow in the game "Second World," is the First Diplomat for the King of the 9th district guild. She is responsible for communicating and negotiating with other guilds, players, and the Empire Game Company.
"Second World" has developed into a second home for humans, and professional players are now widely accepted as a common profession, similar to jobs such as workers, teachers, and doctors. It has also formed its own complete industry chain, with players such as Chen Mo, Mo Xiaodao, Chen Chen, and Liu Ying becoming like celebrities, and King of the League becoming like a talent agency.
At this moment, Chen Mo couldn't help but smack his lips. He knew that with the position of the King of the League's president, Li Tianhao in the gaming world, news of his suicide and rebirth as the legendary character would definitely reach Li Tianhao's ears tomorrow morning. Sure enough, all of this was in Chen Mo's expectations!
"President Li, to be honest, I did commit suicide just now, but it was just the character 'A Legend'," Chen Mo said.
As soon as his words landed, Li Tianhao's two hundred pound body almost collapsed to the ground. His face turned purple, and his eyes still glared at Chen Mo fiercely, but he didn't say a word.
"Suicide?" At the same time, the dozens of young men and women who were also called were all stunned. Among these people, there were two people whose expressions were the most complicated. One was a handsome man who was almost one meter 80 tall and dressed in a stiff suit. He stood out from the crowd and exuded an air of wealth and handsomeness. Unlike the others, who all had a deeply regretful expression, the corner of his mouth lifted into a slight smirk.
Zhao Fan, also known as his real name in the game "Second World," was one of the Vice Presidents of the King of the 9th district guild. Besides Chen Mo's "A Legend" character, he was one of the most powerful people in the King of the League. He was also one of the most likely people to succeed the next President after "A Legend" was no longer there.
In addition to him, there was a girl standing next to Zhao Fan. She was one meter seventy tall, had a tall and attractive figure, a neat short hair, and exquisite facial features that made her look cold and glamorous. Although there were not many girls among the elite members of the King of the League, this girl named Mingyue was definitely a dazzling beauty, and even if placed in society, her beauty would not lose to any popular female celebrity.
Although Mingyue still had a cold and indifferent expression on the surface, she clearly had a moment of doubt and excitement when she heard the words "suicide."
