1 Stuck inside the game
Roan in the real world, was a versatile all-rounder. He had two families, his mother's side was Japanese, and a clan of samurai and ninjas. His father's side was American and a family of Martial artists, police, and scout ranger.
Roan was a star player that has mastered all positions in basketball. He has indeed coined the genius copycat of their campus. Also has a photographic memory as he studies their lessons.
He was half Japanese and half American making his features cute and charming.
Roan was trained by his grandfather on his father's side with scout ranger survival skills and discipline. Also, some combat in the jungle as they have been bonding for several years. He was given piles and piles of books for his knowledge to pass on. Making his summer vacations worthwhile.
From Jungle survival, Apocalypse survival, Trekking, Scouting, Farming, Trapping, Hunting, Pathfinding, and Tracking.
His uncle on his father's side trained him on all police skills. From investigations and detective missions to assault and arrest. Even all types of guns were all mastered by him.
Every summer, they went to his Japanese relatives and he trained him in the arts of samurai. He then sparred with his uncle and has learned much from him.
His mother was also the best in the way of ninjas. Having stealth in its finest, quietest assassinations, and killings. Also taught the katana and throwing skills. Even night hunting was taught and ingrained inside his mind.
He then was trained by his father in all forms of martial arts. Kali, Mui-Tai, Taekwondo, Tai-chi, Kung-fu, Wing-Chun. All were taught and ingrained into his skull.
He immediately saw a game that he liked for the first time and he thought that he could apply all his knowledge and skills there. He played the game "Land of the eternal night" and became a god-rank player. Having used all job class in the past with each run-through of them.
After his vacation, he went to play once again. He was in his room and found his full dive gear.
"Let us play shall we?" Roan was excited to play his character. He then immediately put it on his head and put his account ID on the full diving gear.

He closed his eyes when he was in the depths of his sleep. While diving, he felt that he was sucked into a wormhole and he was like pulled in there. He slept until all his consciousness fades away like a fleeting dream.
He booted the device and an error happened. His VR headset short-circuited and his brain was messed up, sending him up to the game world, and was stuck there.
[All players are logged out.....]
[Starting back the main storyline of the game from the start...]
[Player's main character not found.....]
[Using an NPC for the role....]
[I am called System. You must finish the game to escape it. Death in the game is dying in real life. So consider your life here as real.]
[Beat the game to unlock the log-out feature.]
'What?'
Roan muttered in disbelief. He did not expect that it would come to this. All was now real for him.
"Damn it! Why now?"
He clenched his fist and then bit his lower lips. He then scanned the surroundings. He was in the middle of the wilderness and it was nighttime.
He then was speechless. He was in a stupor for a moment and realized that he was in dire straits.
'Oh my god! I can't die here! My hard-earned character! I am back to level one!?' his hands were on his face as he screamed inside.
"Oh no, no, no! I must get it back! I must! I must get stronger! Or else I am doomed," Roan watched the surroundings as hoots of owls sounded.
"Damn, such a hassle and waste. I was sent here after the VR headset was short-circuited. My brain is in a mess, thus sending me here,"
Roan was in the middle of the wilderness and he concluded that he was indeed stuck into his favorite full dive game—Land of Eternal Night. A dark fantasy game full of horrors that made many players freaked out.
Although it was a dark fantasy, it was still a fantasy game that has powers given to the players. The players played it and a great update happened. Where permadeath was included in the main features of the game. Logging out was not even an option after all the players were forcefully logged out.
Roan was bloody on his chest and concluded that the past owner was assassinated by the Dark fellowship. A cult that worships the demon gods.
His memories merged with the past owner and have concluded things. He has the same name as the past owner. He was a noble who lost his land in the monster infestations and retreated into the nearest village. The ogres have claimed his land and he would like to reclaim it from them.
Their guards were unable to defend the lands and made their escape. Ogres were brutal. The past Roan was also a weak noble at the time and was left with no choice. Leaving some to let them escape for their lives. Roan promised to retrieve his land inside his heart as the past owner of the body wills it.
While they were escaping, he was assassinated. The attack of Ogres was very suspicious for him and maybe it was planned by the Dark fellowship. Having minions in their arsenal.
Their carriage was bloody and had many bodies littered. Manservants including his bodyguards.
He then scanned his belongings. He only has a day of ration and a sword. Also, a dagger that he always carried with him. A pouch of water canteen that can last for several miles of consumption. Also flintstone and whetstone with only a few uses.
He immediately went to check his Backpack inventory and Items.

Roan then went onward toward the nearest village. The night was chilly and his breath was steaming. He traveled forth on the road solitarily and made it towards a small camp.
In this world, the time has lost its sense. Ever since the great demon gods assaulted the world, the night became dominant and the sun has not risen ever since. Only the moon was the only one that gave light ever since. It was called the Eternal Night phenomenon.
It was then, he saw small creatures in the camp and they were dancing near the fire. It was then a notification appeared.
[Enemies detected]
[Choose a job class to fight]
Roan then knew that it was time to pick his job class. He then smiled after seeing the 3 of them on where to choose.
[Conjurer]
[Lycanthrope]
[Necromancer]
Three job classes appeared and then he was in thought. Roan then was carefully thinking about what to choose from the three. All were having good perks with them. It was then, after careful deliberation, he chose the Necromancer. Clicking it up and he immediately felt that the job class imprint merged with his soul.
The job class imprint was the fundamental essence that was needed to get the job class and was merged into the soul so the skills will become usable.
In his past life, Necromancer was a weak job class but has great summonings. Most of them were weak combatants and relies mostly on their summons.
But Roan was different, he was an elite combatant that can manage to excel at close combat. Even ranged combat if needed to be.
[Necromancer job class was selected.]
[Assimilating the job class imprint to the soul.]
[Assimilating done.]
[4 skills are given to you by your job class.]

[Mission: Kill 20 goblins]
[Reward: 1 stat point]
It was then, he drew his sword and smirked at his enemies.
"Come and get some!"
The goblins then yelped at his presence. They soon drew their crude weapons and attacked him.
One dashed towards his side and Roan blocked its slash with his sword. Another one covered their comrade as they switched their attack positions. Roan then was attacked on all sides and he slashed diagonally at one that was facing him. It was killed immediately as it was cleaved in half.
Roan then rotated and slashed two while passing them through. He was crouching as he ended their lives. All spurted blood as the aftermath.
It was then, the goblins were enraged and then they attacked all sides.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The sound of metal clashing with each other reverberated and he flickered with his attack. Cleaving them and their heads were decapitated. Roan then stabbed one in the chest and it puked blood. Cursing him in their language. He then pulled it out and then kicked it.
After the battle, he flicked his sword to drain the blood and put it inside his sheath. Not even enough to make him use his skills at them.
