"Delivery!"

"Slurp… slur- cough, cough!"

Ken, who is slurping his cup noodles in front of his computer, heard the shout of the delivery man.

He was surprised and choked on the noodles he was eating.

Ken hurriedly drank some water to push the food down to his stomach.

"Phew~ I almost died because of noodles!" He said, looking at the noodles in his hands with a horrified look.

Shaking his head, Ken hurriedly stood up from his chair, and because of his inattentiveness, the cup noodles in his hands fell down on his lap, splashing him with hot water.

"Aw, aw, Ouch! Ouch!"

But even though the pain made him burst the air out of his lungs, Ken still gritted his teeth and ran to the door.

Ken opened the door, and saw the delivery man standing there.

The delivery man also looked back at Ken, then his eyes went down on Ken's lap where the noodles fell.

The delivery man looked at Ken again with weird eyes.

But even with that, the delivery man still did his job professionally,

"Uhm, here's your parcel, sir!"

Ken took the small box about the size of his head, from the courier.

Excitement flashed on Ken's eyes, not minding the weird look the delivery man is giving him.

After taking the parcel, Ken closed the door and hurriedly ran back to his computer.

When he was about to sit back down, he saw the mess he made again, then turned to look at his pants.

"Hays…"

Ken went to grab some towel first and wet it with water to clean up the noodle soup at the computer.

Next, he took a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom to wash his body since the soup made him feel sticky.

20 minutes later

Ken got out of the bathroom looking fresh and cool.

He went to the kitchen to drink some cold water before coming back to the computer.

The parcel that Ken left is still there sitting on the computer table.

When he looks at that thing, Ken's eyes inevitably show some excitement to it.

He hurriedly picked it up, and started unboxing the parcel.

What came to sight after the box was removed was a helmet looking thing with a sci-fi vibe to it.

"Haha, this is the start of my great story!"

Ken laughed happily for some time before he started to calm down.

"The game should be about to start now."

He looked at the time on his computer and saw that it's already 11:30 AM.

"30 more minutes before the game starts, huh."

Ken calmed himself, then lay on his computer chair and closed his eyes.

"I'll wait until 11:50 before I log in." Ken muttered,

"This time, I won't die again like a waste."

Ken said those words full of determination.

Ken was actually someone who came back to the past, like those so-called rebirth from the web novels these days.

But unlike those in the novels who travelled back years back, Ken only travelled back 2 months worth of time.

The day before the launch of the game [Real Life Online]

In his last life, Ken was not some powerhouse or anything, he was just some above average player trying to enjoy his game.

Actually he would have ended up being mediocre if not for his talent in the game and his meager luck.

But even with the talent that he has, Ken still died after 2 months the game was launched.

Well, that is because Ken was unfortunate and was met with his demise at the hands of a Legendary Boss Monster from [Real Life Online].

As for how he really died if it's just because of the monster in the game, well….

One month after the game was launched, the game developers announced on their social media that [Real Life Online] was actually a totally real another world!

Not the kind of realistic game, kind of real, but a REAL other world!

They also said that because of some mistakes on their side, both worlds are gonna start integrating!

At first, people thought it was just a joke from the developer.

But on that same day, rifts in space started appearing all over the world and some monsters even started coming out!

Because of this, people panicked and there will inevitably be people who'll die because of this.

Luckily, there was no high level monster that came out, because of that firearms were still able to kill those monsters.

From then on, monsters are not just fictional things inside novels and games, but also started appearing in the real world.

Also, after the rifts appeared, the players of the game [Real Life Online] also started manifesting their game characters into the real world.

Hence, the Era of Player started!

…

11:50 AM

*Bzzzt Bzzzt!*

Ken opened his eyes, the cellphone on his hand vibrating because of the alarm.

After he turned off the alarm, he got up from his seat and headed to his bed with the helmet-like thing or the headgear in his arms.

Ken lay down in a comfortable position on the bed.

He took a look at the dilapidated walls and ceiling of his house and said,

"I will finally be able to get out of this uncomfortable apartment."

Then he wore the headgear and started the game.

"Game Start!"

Once upon a time there is this little boy about the age of 13, he's name is Justin. He is a quiet and a little introvert, this is something that he hate about himself.

Today he is starting his first year on junior high school and he is very excited, but his excitement can't be seen on his face.

When he walk inside the classroom he saw some familiar faces, they are those that he had been classmate with in the past. But even though he see them he did not go near them he just sit in the chair in the back of the classroom. There are some people there already but he did not talk or even greet anyone.

Just as he is going to rest his head in the desk the boy in right side talk to him.

"Hi there, my name is Jeremiah, we are going to be classmates for 10 months I guess so why don't we become friends?"

Justin just stared at Jeremiah and don't know what to say 'cause he is not really a socialist. He can see Jeremiah's face slowly growing annoyed because he's not answering him.

"If you don't want t-"

Before he finish his sentence Justin interrupted him.

"Oh My name is Justin, the truth is I'm not really good at interacting with others so I don't talk much"

"Oh is that so, it can't be help then"

After that Jeremiah start talking and telling Justin stories and Justin just listen until the teacher walk inside the classroom.

"Ok, Is everyone already here? If it is let's g-"

"I'm sorry I'm late"

Before the teacher finish talking now a voice of a girl interrupted him.

The girl is a real beauty. She have a childish face that is so cute, her eyes are like sparkling star, a little cheeks the is puff a little, and a cute mouth. Her skin is so white and looks so smooth that it's hard to resist not to touch them. Her height is on the little side.

Jeremiah on the side gasp.

"Justin, look at her, she's a real beauty!" Jeremiah exclaimed.

And Justin the one he is talking to is staring at the girl in a daze. He is stunned by her beauty although there is still childishness in her face you can't deny that she will grow into someone with stunning beauty.

The adviser of the class spoke to the girl.

"Hello I am the adviser of this class. What is your reason for being late?" The adviser ask.

"I'm sorry I'm late, the reason is..." her voice slowly turn lower and lower until no one can hear her anymore.

"Is..?" the adviser ask her to continue.

The girl face turn red and she shyly answer.

"I woke up late" she answered with low voice.

The adviser did not push her to continue and invites her inside and introduce herself.

"Ok, enter inside and introduce yourself"

With that the girl smile. She enter and stand in the front and started introducing herself.

"Hello everyone my name is Christalene, Christalene Lilith Bernal"

"Okay, Miss Lilith can take the vacant seat over there," the teacher pointed at an empty seat just beside Justin.

Cristalene walk gracefully to the seat that is assign to her. When she arrive at her seat, Justin greeted her.

Seeing that they will be neighbors from now on, Justin politely face the girl and said, "Hello, Good Morning," greeted Justin,

Cristalene face the boy and also politely greeted back, "Hello, Good Morning to you also." and she sat down on her chair.

"We are going to be neighbors from now on for a year. My name is Justin, it is nice seeing you." said Justin while nodding his head at her politely....
