The howling of a demon scattered around the faint lit room, the orange haze of light from torches scattered on a circular manner around the room, was the only light that reveals how the battle field on the dungeon room had been. And among the last 20 players left on dueling the dying monster, was the lvl 99 solo player, Yuro.
"Lets wrap it up!"
He declared, pointing out his dark blade towards the huge monster, the level 200 Gaia Demon [ King Silaferos ], the last boss of Aegis Synchro.

After three years, from 2021, everything had been normal, but for the lucky ones, it was the best and amazing years they would ever had in their life.
On the eve of celebrating new year (2021), the game advertisement that was said from the letter really did appeared from every televisions, smartphones and any device that can be used to broadcast, even radios. And the ad contained a short video clip about the game that let players inside a game, literally. From the chips that will be used to create a head gear, the player would be able to fully experience the world within the Pandora's server.
The only thing he needed to do, was proceed at the nearest Pandora's server, and sync with it.
But unlike VR, you will still have your own body at the real world, but in Aegis Synchro, the body would easily vanished like digital data when the player logged in at the game. And when they logout, their body would emerged back onto real world, as if nothing happened.
At first, they had thought it was something impossible, but later on, teenagers and players who had experienced the inside world recommended how good it was. Even though the Virtual Reality is far off from the current technology we had, we still somehow have been provided a new gaming console that was way beyond better than full-dive, by alien species. Talk about a good fortune for a new year.
The game especially had became a trend. It was a net game owned by no one, and with no one to profit. Its just a fun game, a world that if you had a ticket, would greatly offer an experience that you wanted for yourself.
But no matter how large the number of person who wanted to have a chip, it was given on random person. Even buying one would be extremely useless, not if you are a collector, since the chip can only be activated from the person designated on it. In terms, the first holder.
And three years later, from the current 27,000 players among the japan server, which was the first to start from the eastern countries, had finally reached the last boss [ Silaferos ]. And from that three years, almost a number of thousands of dungeons had been conquered by the citizens of that world.
The government and public persons had agreed of calling the world inside the server as a parallel one. Since it gave off a very extremely similar atmosphere on the same world, like same in comparison. The only difference was the tolerance of people in pain, and the glowing rex particles that drip upward from any kind of wound. The rest was unreal yet very real.

Satoru Ryoji, a first year middle schooler, was one of the few lucky people who had received a "key-chip", and even managed to slip past through the first 100 players to be allowed near the enigmatic five meter high black pitch cube.
It was monday, January 27th 2021 when the first day of the game at japan was finally opened. And Ryoji was very early at the meeting spot, without much an hour, the rooftop was filled with various people, which betrayed Ryoji's expectation.
Never thought there would be an old man here.... Oh wait, is that a model?... Yikes!? Is that... a gangster!?
While ogling around, and anxiously spinning his head from time to time, the edges of the dark cube suddenly shone a green color. And before he wink his eyes, the dark nylon patterned head gear on his head conjured purple lights that enveloped exactly like a second skin on his body, then vanished into thin air.
From the darkening of his vision, a female monotonic voice echoed through the void.
"Welcome to Anderehtrae!" The voice had said.
"This will be for your character creation, for any preferences please envision your ideal avatar, we would render your character from your imagination. However, the process might took awhile, so please focus on how you would look like."
"Wow, is this really happening, I can't believe it! I'm so excited. Well, cool, so, you said focus huh!? Well then," Ryoji thought while being completely oblivious from from the fact that he had been completely feeling nothing, no limbs to move, like a paralyzed man laid down on a bed.
Although it might not truly have been unpleasant, compared to the feeling of being immobile.
"Master, the process had finally been finished, would you like to see the rendered form?" The voice asked.
"Hell yeah!" He joyfully agreed.
Then, without even a second, he was presented of a model that never looked like a poorly 3d created thing, it felt natural and very real. From head to toe, it was very detailed, a mastercraft he couldn't believed that will be produced in that short span of time.
Exactly from what he had strongly visualize, the model being laid in front of him, was a two meter guy with a slim yet well built body. The hair had a white color, and had a very heroic style that look cool and very embarrassing. Its eyes were a bit darker, but not completely black, just a grey that could had signified the moon. And below the waist....
"Wait!? Is that necessary? And its size..."
"Since the data we had gathered did lacked in some aspects, we naturally filled them with data that would matched up... But really, is that something you should really notice, how indecent of you, master."
"Shut up! I... I... Just forget it... By the way, when did I became your Master huh!?"
"Either way, could I had the name you would use?"
"Yeah... Its, Yuro!"
And so... The legendary level 99 solo player Yuro descended at the land of swords and magic, and begun his solitary journey.
