RE: Soul bound

Chapter 000: PROLOGUE

Written by: Zorenico

I'm Theodore, an 18-year-old boy born in the high modern era. The world in which I lived changed after virtual reality games were developed where anyone could dwell in a virtual world with monsters, various races, and even magic existed. Just like this game called "New Life," which I used to play when I was 15 years old. It was enjoyable; you could select your class, hunt monsters, and level up to become a Ranker.

It was fun and all but not until the developer of the game died due to being old enough to pass away. The game was inherited by his family but to only become a game that never had an update and was forced to server shutdown.

I spend my entire teenage life to this game and become a player that seats on the top, hence, a Ranker. I even got a title from the other players, they called me a Hunting Freak. Yes a Hunting Freak, a player who never sleeps just to hunt a boss and loot a good quality items just to find out that the game forced shutdown.

I was such a fool!! 

The first thing that came to my mind was about my family. I played this game not just because it was fun, but because playing this game could be a way to earn real money and help my parents to pay our debts.

Yes, I am such a fool.. If only I didn't stick to this game and just sell all my items, pay the debt of my parents, and live a life that they could only dream to have. Then everything would be fine.

Sighed.. I even regarded myself as the breadwinner of the family but to think that everything has gone just because of my foolishness.

Just a few months passed, and a new game rose to its peak and become the second version of New Life. The second version my a$$! The game was just a copy of New Life, to the point that even the scenery was similar in every edge and nook. But for me, a man who used to play New Life for over four years knows everything. Even those player who played New Life just for monopolizing the dungeons doesn't even know that there was always a hidden one that even the developer hasn't even know of. A hidden dungeon that could give a high-quality items that even when I was just a beginner who has just gotten a job class have an inventory that has full of rare or even mystical class items. But it was four years ago... If only.. If only.. If only, sighed..

I cannot let go of the past, I even shut myself in my room for a whole month and never come out. The only thing I do for that entire month was eat and sleep, eat and sleep, and eat and sleep.

But everything changed when the world was flipped upside down. Similar creatures from the game New Life appeared in every part of the Philippines, while former New Life players received a unique thing called a Progress Bar; a transparent bar that exposes practically everything about an individual's physical or even magical abilities.

I don't know what to do but I am sure of one thing; I need to level up faster than everyone else, become a ranker once again, and earn a lot of money to pay my family's debt.

But what exactly is this? My inventory was full of higher-grade items that I used to have? ohh... It was bound. What if it is? Even if I can't sell it, I could still use it! this opportunity, I will take it!
