This is the year 2100 AD. As a result of advances in technology - such as virtual reality, and basic sleep-based games - online gaming has developed rapidly over the years.

As such, online gaming realism has increased from 50% ... 60% ... 70% ... to 80%. The market is currently dominated by two MMO giants - World and Life - both of which have achieved an 85% realism level. With over 80% of the human population making up the number of Players, the first thing someone asks an new acquaintance is, "Are you from the World of from Life?"

However, things have started to change. The world's largest tech company has caused a huge stir with a revelation: after Ten years of research, they've created Second Life, a brand new game with a realism rate of 99%

And now the whole world is waiting with Bated breath...

Online, in the World...

"Bro, look, what do you think this is?"

I, Feng Xiao Xiao, lifted the "Blue River Goddess" staff, showing it off to my twin sister. Ha ha! With 102 magic power, and the property of increasing ice-based attack power by 20%, the "Blue River Goddess" was definitely a magician's treasure. It took a little effort to persuade my husband to buy it.

"Blue River Goddess'?" What the hell, Sis; isn't this stick worth a hundred thousand gold? Where did you get that money? Did you win the Lottery or something?" Feng Wu Qing - who happened to be my real younger brother - asked. , staring at the stick in my hand.

"My husband gave it to me, of course," I replied with satisfaction, still showing off.

"Another gift from my brother-in-law... It must be nice to be a woman, with equipment delivered to your doorstep automatically, and not having to work hard on it yourself," muttered Feng Wu Qing.

"What did you say ?!" My brows crease as I focus. Ice bolts - intermediate tier spells - flew at him.

Being a warrior, Feng Wu Qing's magical resistance didn't matter. His HP immediately halved. Considering that the amount of pain felt in the game was only 20% of what a person would feel in reality, these ice bolts would probably be as painful as chopping with a kitchen knife. Wait, isn't that... very painful ?! I realized.

"Hey, that hurts! Cut it out, right?" Seeing him losing half his health, Feng Wu Qing had no choice but to start ingesting health elixirs. "Grumbling..."

"What..."

You dare call me a bitch? Or I should say: if you - a mere level 95 warrior - dared to scold me - a level 115 mage... you would want to DIE! Enraged, I had completely forgotten that the person in front of me was my brother and chanted a high-level spell, blowing it up in a Blizzard. Suddenly, I realized what I had done. Damn, Wu Qing couldn't possibly die now, right?

"Urgh..." From my brother's pathetic moaning voice, it must be very painful... Sorry, bro.

"Damn it, crazy woman, you idiot! Are you trying to kill me ?!" Feng Wu Qing wheezed, lying on the ground half dead. Seeing that he was still alive, I felt a sense of relief.

"Who told you to call me a *****? Besides, your level and equipment are too pitiful, if you pass out with just a lump of ice and a Blizzard. I can only step on you and you Will have the luck to become the first warrior trampled to death by a mage." Seeing that Wu Qing was still alive, I couldn't help but mock him any further.

Lying on the ground, Feng Wu Qing seemed to have been humiliated with anger, as he replied coldly. "Who wants to be shameless like you ?! Always asking people to give you equipment or to help you level, always hiding behind the party, always good ninja-loot... It would be ridiculous if you were still low level and wearing junk gear!"

Enraged, I could feel the heat rising on my cheek. "I ... I ..." feel a little guilty...

Seeing that I was speechless, Feng Wu Qing decided to rub salt on my wounds. Being so Blunt, is he really my brother? "I'm not finished talking. You ladies only know how to beg other people to equip you and help you level up, always choosing a class that Will allow you to hide and gain experience from afar."

I stomped my feet on the ground. "Okay, why don't we reroll and see who level up faster?"

Feng Wu Qing sneered. "Forget it. What's the point of rerolling? Brother-in-law Will still help you and there Will still be a bunch of men who Will brace you and provide you with tools."

"It's because they want to, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Then don't accept it and practice it yourself!"

"But it Will be useless..." I said in a small voice.

"Hmph!" Feng Wu Qing looked at me coldly.

I felt my anger increase, but just as I was about to open my mouth and continue arguing with him, the boss's fast fire monkey suddenly appeared from behind my brother. Rushing towards us at lightning speed, it hit my brother's head with a powerful punch. Could it be grudge, I wonder...

Stunned, I watched helplessly as my brother turned into a pillar of light and shot toward the sky. After dying in the game, one Will always turn into a pillar of light and fly back to the point of rebirth.

Oh shit, my brother died... I'm in deep trouble. According to World sick rules, if killed by a mob, one's level would return to level one. She Will give my sadness, I thought, breaking out in a cold sweet. But i had forgotten, that the boss was still in front of me - except now that I am a mage without warriors for the meat Shield...

"Urgh..." I, who had never died before, tasted death for the first time. So death feels this terrible... I hurriedly took off my gaming helmet and started throwing.

"You die?" I lifted my head and Saw my sister looking at me with a clueless expression. He had rushed from his room to scold me for causing him to return to level one, but now... He Will still scold me. "You fools! Why don't you use the scroll of recall when you watch me die?"

"I was too shocked to react when I Saw you die!"

I looked at him sadly. How could I know that in a few seconds when I freeze up, that damn monkey boss and his monkey lineage Will turn me into a pillar of light in the blink of an. eye?

"My mistake for getting you killed..."

"Forget it; Besides, I won't be playing the world anymore."

"Huh? You're not playing? Why?"

My younger brother - I guess I should mention this: His name is Feng Yang Ming, and I am Feng Lan - Looking at me with an expression of despair. "Don't you know that Second Life is coming out?"

"Second Life?" I repeated, confused.

My sister looked straight at me like I was an idiot.

"Second Life is the newest virtual reality game, with realism rate of 99%. It is said that you can even feel the wind blowing in your face and hear the gentle chirping of insects, to the point where it feels like you are in the real world."

I frowned, my brows furrowed. "Then wouldn't it hurt a lot? If you get hurt..."

"Gah! You women are always afraid of pain. With a realism rate of 99%, who cares about the pain?" My brother looked at me with an exaspreting superior expression, and added, "Don't worry, the pain you feel has only increased to 30%"

I said, "Oh", but I still think, Hmph, to think that you were crying because of the pain earlier. If they really raise the bar to 99%, I doubt you can still say you don't care about the pain! However, since I just got him killed, I didn't dare to produce much like peeping. "So you don't play the world anymore?"

"Please. Everyone who is playing The World and Life right now is just waiting for Second Life to come out. Once Second Life comes out, World and Life Will probably close!"

"Then I guess I'll be playing that too." The 99% realism level does sound rather interesting and since I have to retrain, I might as well start from Second Life.

"You're Going to use the 'give me and help me level up' skill again, huh."

Now I'm pissed off. "Feng. Yang. Ming I warn you... This time I definitely won't ask anyone to help me or give me equipment, so don't complain to me if you level up slower than me."

"As if I'm Going to level up slower than you"

We, the two siblings glared at each other.

I took out the game cartridge, muttering to myself. Foolish brother, I'll make you taller and I'll leave you with no room to complain. I loaded the game cartridge vengefully into the game helmet and glanced at the clock. Seeing that it was time, I put on my helmet and planned to rush straight into the game and train so fast that he couldn't even catch up. However, I forgot that I adjusted my watch to be five minutes earlier than the real time, so that I would always be on time for my appointments...

Why is it so black? Just when my head was filled with questions, a bright light flooded in front of my eyes and an immense beauty appeared before me. Hmph! Not another beauty! Very annoying! Don't the developers of this game know that girls also play computer games? Why don't they ever make eye candy to greet us girls?

"Hello, and welcome to Second Life. This is your first time playing, so please give us some time to scan your body and record your vocal frequencies. That way, you Will be able to jump into the game as soon as you put on your gaming helmet."

I am waiting for the scanning process to complete.

"Right, now you can start creating your character. Before you continue, I have to remind you that you Will only have one chance to create a character. Once created, your race, name and appearance cannot be changed."

"Then I can't recreate my character?" Aren't they overreacting to such strict rules?

"To maintain the realism of Second Life, each person may only have one account and one character, without exception."

"Then what happens when my character dies?" Don't tell me that I'll never be able to play again...?

"If your character dies, you Will be returned to the point of rebirth. As a penalty, you Will be demoted."

What strange rules, I thought, dazed.

"Would you like to start creating your character?"

"Oh, sure. Start!"

"Please choose a race." The extremely beautiful NPC had just finished speaking when the originally empty scene suddenly filled with many characters that seemed to be alive, all posing in front of me. The races range from humans, elves, dark elves, dwarves, demons, saints, beasts (sub-spesies including wolves, birds, wild cats, etc.) to spirits (with Ten sub-categories, including tree spirits, flower spirits, etc.) My eyes started rolling. Gosh, what do I di! And why are there so many races?

Seeing my overwhelmed expression, the beautiful NPC kindly offered, "Choose which race you like first: I'll explain it to you. And take your time, because you wan't get a reroll!"

I gaze gratefully at beauty; she suddenly looked prettier than before...

"What are the racial characteristics for humans?"

"The racial characteristics of humans are everything. For example, their physique might not be comparable to wild beasts and their agility might not be compared to elves, but their agility was higher than wild beasts and their physique was stronger than elves."

"I see..."

Seeing that it was almost the same as in the other games, I started to fret. Since race is something that can't be changed, I thought, what should I choose?

This time I want to become a warrior, I thought, still hooked by my brother's words... My damn brother actually said that I was afraid of getting sick and only knew how to hide! Just wait and see; I Will play a soldier.

From what I've heard, humans and beasts are the best for this class... "In thas case, can I see what I am like as a human and an animal?" covering up, but a girl couldn't help wanting to look beautiful...

"Sure," said the beauty, and two versions of "I" appeared. As expected, the human "me" was much more handsome, but just as I was about to say that I wanted to play human, my brother's returning words flew back into my head.

"Forget it, what's the point of rerolling? Brother-in-law Will still help you, and there Will still be a horde of men who Will strengthen you and provide you with tools..."

Damn, if I appeared before her looking beautiful and beautiful, she definitely wouldn't believe that I was doing all the hard work

myself. With that in mind, I said impulsively, "Can you make me more masculine?"

"You want to be a man?" The beauty looked a little surpised and tried to persuade me to withdraw my request. "You better think about this carefully. You won't be able to change your appearance."

I started to waver...

"Plus girls are easier to level up, with guys willing to help them and take care of them."

Hearing that, I got even more ennoyed. "I do not care."

"Give me a minute. I have to duscuss this with the boss." With that, he suddenly froze, not moving too hard.

So he was actually a GM... His expression was so stiff that I mistook him for an NPC!

After a while, the beauty moved again, and her expression hesitated. "Even though gender changes are usually prohibited, you are the first player to enter. We had previously decided to comply with the request of the first player, as long as it Made sense, as a reward. As for your request... After discussing it, we have decided that since you Will be the only exception, this Will not affect the game. We Will approve your request."

Just as he finished speaking, a handsome and good-looking young man appeared before my eyes. Wow, so handsome! It Seems that I am much more suited to being a man than a women.

"You can choose to beautify or ugly yourself up to 30%."

I don't even have to think about my answer. "Beautify by 30%."

An extremely amazing young man immediately appeared before my eyes. This is me? Oh God, what an amazingly beautiful man... Drooling even when I Saw the male version of myself, I thougy, if I was handsome as a human, then...

"I want to see myself as a fairy."

Slender and long-eared elves appeared before my eyes. Seeing that Slender figure, together with that pretty face with her smooth and beautiful face...

"so handsome..." The beautiful GM and I sighed at the same time.

"Hey, are you Going to consider sex change surgery? If you become a man, I Will definitely be your girlfriend," GM couldn't help but say.

What should I say to something like that?

"Alright, then it's decided. It'll be a fairy!" It wasn't me - it was a beautiful GM.

"This..." I said confused. "But I want to become a soldier..."

"Ha! Please, check how handsome you are. It would practically be a sin against nature if you didn't choose to be a fairy. No matter what, you have to become a fairy." That beautiful GM really seduced me... I got goosebumps.

Looks like he no longer thinks of me as a girl, I thought. But... Seeing the male version of myself standing before my eyes, it was too pretty... Oh no, what if the only thing I wanted to do after entering was to stare at my own reflection?

"Then it's decided. Do you want to change your hairstyle or your height?" Wait a minute, are you a GM or not? You decide everything for me!

"Let's try turning her into blonde," I said helplessly.

After two hours of arguing back and forth, we finally decided on... Appearance. The beautiful GM even managed to increase the beauty count to 40%, which Made me wonder, is the really a GM or not? Seeing that very handsome elf with a short head, white hair, I thought that even in the game, my chance of turning my head was still 200% guaranteed. Starting non-stop my eyes turned to two hearts again. My God, is this considered a narcissist?

"All done. This is perfect," Said Lolidragon with a satisfied tone. Lolidragon is the name of that beautiful GM... He even sent me to PM whenever I wanted.

"Please... Cen we continue? I'm probably the first person in history to spend more than two hours and still haven't finished creating the characters."

"Then what do you want to be called? I'm warning you, you are not allowed to use a name that sounds terrible!"

...He really rebuked me? I fell silent. This is bad. I always use Feng Xiao Xiao as my name when playing, but it looks like I won't be able to this tame. "I think I'll be the 'Prince Charming'".

Lolidragon glared at me. "Too bland. Absolutely impossible."

"Then you try to find a name." I rolled my eyes; who's playing anyway?

"We'll just get rid of Handsome One and call you Prince! OK, that's all in his name."

Seeing the world "Prince" already hovering over the "me" man, I was speechless.
