Prologue: Urban Legend

There was a rumor.

An urban legend amongst all gamers.

Players all around the world knew about this: they called it the ultimate test for every gamer alive; a test that will determine who will have the chance to live and transcend the world of gaming.

A chance to be a true player. In another world.

The rumors simply started with the sudden disappearances of top performing players in many online gaming platforms around the world. For a while, the case brought fear among the players, deterring others to play any games for the mean time.

But in the midst of fear and panic, a discussion thread sprouted on the internet about some random special quests that suddenly pops up on player's screens while playing some game. No one knew who sent them. All they know is that these random quests can appear in any online game. But there was one similarity with all these quests: the condition for the completion of the quest was so difficult it was almost impossible to accomplish it.

They started to call it “impossible quest”, knowing that no one on the thread claimed to have successfully finished it. Of course, that was limited to people who’ve failed. Thus beg the question:

What if there are those who succeeded in completing it?

And what happened to those who do?

Those simple questions snowballed into theories and possibilities as to what these impossible quests entails. It didn’t take time for everyone to connect this quests to the disappearances of top players around the world. Because─

What if those top players received the quest?

And as impossible as it may be, what if against all the odds, those top players somehow managed to accomplish them?

One thing everyone agreed on is that, while everyone was playing, they were all being evaluated. In the sea of games and players around the world, those who were performing well above the others were called upon, and those impossible quest serves as the test. And with the disappearances of some top players globally, everyone deduced that somehow, those “impossible players” conquered the impossible quest and where taken somewhere; a place one can only imagine. These were all theories. But everyone already considered it as true. It was at that moment that the birth of the urban legend was made.

An urban legend that started the tale of the legendary players who conquered the worlds.
