CHAPTER 1 POPULAR GAMES

"Age of gods empire" is the best-selling VR game at the moment, the biggest feature that players are interested in in this game is the large selection of 'races' for the starting character, because of the very high enthusiasm of the game developer, various racial mixtures have been created, during the 5 years of operation, This game has more than 100 race choices. Another feature that this game has is free exploration, which means that this game does not provide any information other than the game introduction, players are free to explore the information of the game, although this increases the difficulty of the game, but this makes the exchange of information with real currency possible so that the game This has become a pillar for some people to make money. The next feature that is in demand in this game is the unique character design and area placement, they make the characters and faces of the NPCs like the real world, meaning that each NPC has a different character, face and appearance. Meanwhile, the region placement feature can be interpreted as kingdom building, each player can create his own kingdom, recruit NPCs to work in his region as farmers, traders, soldiers, laborers, and players can even recruit many concubines or wives.

Although the difficulty of creating and building a territory was very high, some people did not give up, even many rich second generations spent a lot of money to create their own territory and become kings. Although many of them are only interested in recruiting wives, after all, the temptation is too great, the beauty of different races, even if they cannot be felt physically, they can still feel the sensation of being seduced by various unique characters. Of course not all second generations are rich like that, some have the goal of becoming "King of the World". "King of the World" is the ultimate goal of this game, to become king of the world or king of kings, players must conquer all existing races. This is the highest difficulty of the Age of Gods Empire game, for 5 years of operation no one has been able to achieve the final goal of the game, moreover the difficulty of achieving this achievement is higher the more players build their own empire. Plus most of the players who could build an empire were rich second generation, not many people would dare to conflict with someone like that.

In one room, a man was lying with a helmet on his head. The man was around 170cm tall, had short black hair, fair skin, and a fairly handsome face. At this time the man who was seen sleeping with a helmet on his head frowned, then not long afterward opened his eyes and cursed.

"Unlucky ! damn you traitor !"

......

The man took off the helmet on his head and sat on the edge of the bed. The man was silent for a while, then cursed again.

"Unlucky ! Unlucky ! virgos!!!"

"I didn't expect the virgo who had allied with me would betray because of money! Unlucky !"

The man held his helmet tightly and was about to slam the helmet to vent his anger, but immediately gave up his intention and let out a tired sigh.

.......

"Forget it, the price of this helmet is really expensive... besides this game is the only interesting thing I found..."

The man looked at the helmet in his hand, then looked around his room. Because his parents were in the village and didn't have a house, the man lived in a cheap boarding house. Apart from simple living utensils and equipment for work, the man's room did not have any decorations.

"Only this game interests me and makes me feel color in a monotonous life, where only school, work, eating and sleeping..."

The man recalled that when he was in the village, even though there was limited money, at that time his life was quite colorful and free, but since he got a scholarship to go to school in the city his life became black and white and only became colorful when playing the game Age of Gods Empire.

"Even so... ugh... damn virgo... my losses must be very big... NPCs can't come back to life, it's certain that the biggest loss is losing NPCs with unique skills... although losing good weapons and equipment is also quite detrimental, but all of it can be rebuilt if you have a lot of gold... it's just that the NPCs are different... arrrghhh damn! I don't know how long it will take me to recover!"

Kenji has been playing since the 1st year of high school, now he is at the end of the 3rd year of high school, meaning he has been trying to build and expand his empire for 3 years. Kenji recalled the time he was betrayed by his first friend and trusted colleague who had grown up with him in the Age of Gods Empire game, Virgo. Until now, he still doesn't believe it, Virgo, who had collaborated with him when he was still a weak player, betrayed him because of money. Kenji still remembers Virgo's smile and words when she betrayed him.

"Sorry Ken (Kenji's character name in the game), the offer is too big, I've lived poor for a long time, at first I wanted to see the end of this game with you, but humans need money to continue their lives, right? because we have conquered many kingdoms and races, I decided this is the right time for us to stop, don't worry, when you die I will put all your assets to good use, I will make sure nothing is wasted, so die in peace!"

After killing Kenji, Virgo ordered his entire army to take over several kingdoms quickly using 'loopholes' in the rules of the kingdom alliance plus the absence of a supreme commander. That's how several kingdoms that Kenji had controlled were quickly taken over. When Kenji came back to life, he immediately removed the alliance with Virgo, but Kenji was still too late, only 2 kingdoms escaped from the 15 kingdoms controlled by Kenji. Of the 2 kingdoms, 1 kingdom was almost destroyed because Virgo had attacked from within.

......

"Haah... come on, Souta Kenji... aren't you determined to make a lot of money and make your parents happy who have worked so hard to raise you? the loss is very big, but you can definitely do it, yosh! Spirit !"

Apart from playing games, Kenji also makes money like the others. Kenji doesn't forget the reason he went to town, Kenji is looking for extra money by trading some items and information he has found, of course the information Kenji is selling is information that is not useful for him 'right now'. After encouraging himself, Kenji looked at the clock and went to the bathroom to get ready for his part time job.

"hmm... looks like I have to cut my hair tomorrow... the boss doesn't like male employees having long hair..."

Seeing that the hair near his ears had grown a bit long, the man with black eyes and black hair decided to cut it immediately so as not to affect his work. After finishing getting ready, Kenji looked at his family photo before going to work.

"Father, mother, I'm leaving"
