The end of the peaceful days

The Aaron wakes up and starts his usual day, playing video games, which is the only thing he is good at. He plays the game while fighting monsters and notices that the number of online players today is very low.

He doesn't mind and continues playing until he gets kicked out of the game. He wonders why, even though he's using a high-quality capsule, the game kicked him without any warning.

Aaron is surprised when he notices that all the electronic devices in his house are damaged. He senses electric waves passing through everywhere in the house. Suddenly, a portal opens in front of him, and a monster starts to come out of it.

The monster (goblin) seems very small and cunning but he knows the monster, as he is always playing the video games. He wonders if he is still in the game or if he just hallucinates, and the goblin starts attacking Aaron. Shocked, Aaron tries to run away from the monster, but the goblin's speed is faster than him. It lands on him, and then he spots a knife on the table a little further away.

He pushes the monster away and starts running towards the knife; the goblin notices and tries to attack him. As soon as he grabs the knife, he dodges the goblin's attack and slashes its back. Despite that, the goblin dares to attack again. Aaron pierces the goblin's neck, successfully killing it.

Covered in blood and unsure of what to do, Aaron, who was not crazy enough, starts to imagine things. A screen-like projection forms in front of him, saying, "A low-level monster goblin has been slain, exp+20." Shocked, he recognizes it as the system from the game, analyzing it. The system pops up, showing "Choose your character class," with many classes like common and epic. Notably, there's no unique or legendary class. A countdown is ongoing.

He decides quickly, choosing the epic role of a knight. A sudden quest pops up, daring him to kill 20 goblins without losing half of his health (reward based on the player's contribution). Despite recognizing the quest, he decides to ignore it, given the increasing number of goblins emerging from the portal.

Near the door, he runs fast and shuts it behind him after leaving his apartment. He initially thinks this is only happening to him, but as he sees the outside world, he's left speechless. The city is in flames, people screaming everywhere. Unlike his encounter with one goblin, there are tons of goblins chasing and slaughtering people. Some try to fight back, but they are outnumbered.

Suddenly, a quest window pops up and says the common quest has been changed to a legendary quest: "Save the lives of more than ten people - Way of the Knight."

Aaron, who has no chance of selecting a unique class, now faces a legendary quest. As soon as he decides to save the people, the system rewards him with an old knight sword for bravery. Aaron wonders why they are giving him a rusty sword.

As he sees a group of people being attacked by goblins, he decides to help them.

Will Aaron successfully save the people and finish the quest? We'll find out in the next episode.
