[ Atlas Online ] has been around for more than a decade, the game itself is actually an adaptation from a webnovel with the title
[ I Entered A Romance Novel ].
It was a game where you can played as a hero that will help the humanity and fight the evil, or you can played as a villain the will bring despair to the world. Whatever it is, you can do everything in this game with the 9 playable characters.
At first the player only download the game because of the hype, but the game slowly gained a lot of Attention because of the way the game create it's story.
The story the game create is based of the original webnovel as the main source, but the way the story are growing is very different.
Lets say that Ryuma Kento (one of the character you can choose in the game) doesn't become a hero but rather a merchant, what will happen?
The story if Ryuma become a merchant is something that the author of the webnovel cannot predict. However, the game can predict that probability.
So if Ryuma choose to be a merchant, the game will create a new branch story for the merchant Ryuma.
But worry not, the merchant Ryuma will still appear in the main story, doesn't matter if it's a cutscenes or if it's a quest, he will always appear.
And the merchant Ryuma will always meet the main character cast in all sort of way, it can be an accidental encounter, or it can be a quest encounter. Whatever it is, merchant Ryuma will never be deleted from the main story.
But the character that I chose doesn't have that kind of gameplay.

My name is Kylen Noor, just a normal unemployed man who likes to play games, and I was one of the first beta testers of [ Atlas Online ].
If I explained the whole reason why the developers choose me as the beta tester, it can take a whole day just to explain all of it, but the easy way to explain it is the fact that I am a famous live streamer.
It takes a lot of time to correct all sort of bug and imbalance in the game and finally after 1 year of testing the game we finally finished it.
with my help and other beta testers, we managed to find all the bug and create the possibly best webnovel game adaptation in the world.
And the game shortly get released after 3 months of corrections.
{A few years later}
"When the sun have set I arise, I am legion the one who is colder than ice"

[Timochalla has donated 20 dollar: What's our agenda today?]
"Im just going to play Atlas Online like the usual"
[Atlondev has donated 10 dollar: today is their anniversary right?]
After seeing the new donation Kylen quickly opened the game.
Through donation and dedication Kylen manages to buy himself a godly spec PC, making whatever the game he opened, the game will start in a second.
"Oh! you're correct, thanks for the information Atlondev"
[Gugugaga69 has donated 100 dollar: then just play the game, I heard that there will be a new boss for player to kill.]
"Alright - alright I'll play right away sir!"
When Kylen clicked the start button a pop up appear on his screen.
[NEW BOSS!!! : The White King Has Appear]
The pop up shows a man with a long white hair and his wearing a long white hanfu, in his hand he was holding a staff, and his face is covered by the fallen bamboo leaf from the background.
"Is this the new boss? Is the developers consuming m*th or something?"
[17m447has donated 5 dollar: what's with your reaction?"
"You know that all the boss In the game has a story, but this doesn't have one! I have seen all sorts of story the game have to offer, but I have never once met this guy!"
[Uncanny Manny has donated 200 dollar: then just kill him]
"You are right,let's kill this guy"
Kylen closed the pop up and then he quickly select his character.
His character is a bug character, he doesn't have a story nor a main boss, his character was named legion.
He chose his character and play the game, his character appear to be a office worker with his hair covering his eyes.
He currently use a sword as his weapon, and he was wearing a suit, he also brought a coffee in his other hand.
"Let's see the guidance for this boss"
In Atlas Online the player can ask all sort of questions to their guide.
What is a guide? Guide is a mascot created by the game to guide and help the player in the game.
All player has their own individual guide, and for Kylen his guide is a cloud named Bihong, he has a very fluffy texture and a clean white color and it can change depending on how Buhong feel.
[Bihong no.1 fan has donated 500 dollar: long time no see Bihong!]
"Bihong can you show me how to encounter the new boss?"
"Bibi"
A pop up appear on Kylen screen.

"Well let's start the grind I guess"
The stream goes for 3 hours until Kylen manages to fullfil all the condition for the boss to spawn.

"Wish me luck guys"
He resume his gameplay and challenge the white king using his bug character.
The character he was using is a test character provided by the developers and given to the beta tester.
The test Character was used just like it's name, to test something, the test character will be used if the developers want to create a new cutscenes and skill.
Atlas Online was supposed to be a single player souls like game with only one main character that you can customize and change its gender.
But because of a few reasons the developers choose to use 9 character from the webnovel as the playable characters, and the new character then was given the skill that has been tested by the developers using the test character.
And to make the character more stand out the developers even create a new skill just for them, they will also gain 50 percent more stat than the test character.
The developers said that it will make it easier for the new player to play, and after a bunch of development the test character has finally been deleted the from the game the same day the game was released.
But somehow someway Kylen's test character was not deleted and still remained all its stat, inventory, skill, and appearance.
Kylen with his smart brain still choose to use that garbage character, making his gameplay more harder than the average Atlas Online player.
And that makes his streaming skyrocketing in views and fans.
Fan really like the fact that the test character can change its weapon and element in second, and it make Kylen gameplay more entertaining than your average streamer.
Because of how Kylen character stats have 50 percent less stat than a normal character, Kylen turn the game that was supposed to be a rpg, turn back into a souls like game.

Kylen drink the water in his water bottle and wipe his hand with a towel.
He takes his mouse and click
RESUME
In second the white king manages to hit Kylen character and put his health at half.

Kylen quickly drink a potion and he buff himself with a lot of spell while white king slowly approaching him.
[Letmejumpher Has donated 30 dollar: you almost start an endless sorrow]
"Yes! That was really close"
Kylen change his weapon to spear and shield and he put up a defensive stance, he wait until the boss teleport again.
And as he predict the boss appear right in front of his character and he attack him right away, but the boss dodge's.
He then failed to crit the boss making him get stuck In a cutscenes for 1 second, which is enough to make him lost another health.
Kylen then quickly change his element to darkness.
___________________________
Element:
Wind → Darkness
___________________________
With dark element Kylen can use a shadow type move, allowing him to submerged to the bosses shadow and avoid the attack that can kill him instantly.
He quickly change his weapon to chainsaw blade and try to attack the boss, he merges from the bosses shadow and attack him from behind, landing a perfect clean crit to the boss.
CRITICAL HIT –1020077 HP
After the attack animation ended, Kylen can already land another moves while the boss still stunned in his attack stances.
Not thinking about the attack stances Kylen quickly change his weapon into a long musket in his right hand and a blade in his left hand .
He stab the boss and shoot his musket creating a synergy critical damage.
SYNERGIZES CRITICAL HIT - 20555534
after such an impressive attack the boss still stay in his attack stances, the boss point his staff at Kylen and shoot out a ray of light that cannot be avoided and also deal's true damage.
[YOU DIED]
[Souls enjoyer has donated 222 dollar: That boss is really broken, what kind of boss is this]

"Thanks for the donation guys, like the usual don't forget to like and hit the subscribe button because when I reach 100 million subs im going to give away one of my game account to the lucky fans, my mission are complete let's meet again next time ciao"
Kylen covered the webcam with his hand and closed the Livestream.
"That was a hard day, I hope I can kill that new boss tomorrow, let's just sleep and wait for the next da-"
As Kylen stand up from his chair his leg gave up and make him trip.
'oh right when's the last time I have fall asleep'

The sound of a broken tv can be heard through out the room, the floor is very cold making my cheeks feel numb.
"I really need to put carpet on my room"
I try to stand up but my leg suddenly gave up.
"Thank God I didn't hit the table again on, wait talking about table, WHERE IS MY GAMING SET UP!!!"
my eye widened as soon as I realized that all my hard work has gone, from the PC given from world famous webtuber, and the chair made by my mother's hand.
"It's all gone"
In one of my recent gameplay I've said that "people who cries after their stuff is gone, is world most pathetic person of all time"
To think that im crying after my stuff is gone is really ironic.
After composing myself I stand up and opened my window, I don't know when's the
Last time I have smelled a fresh air.
"Haaaah.... That's better"
My eye is really sore after a minute of crying, but I don't care about my eye after I just saw a skyscrapers appear in my town.
The world seems more advanced and the people seem more happy than the usual, somehow I feel like I have seen this place before but where.
I remember, this is one of the town In Atlas Online, that's mean that im dreaming right now.
"Well it's sure is a weird dream"
I try go to the freezer to drink something, but i stub my toe when I walked there, Im rolling on the floor trying to endure the sudden pain.
"What kind of day is thi-"
At that moment I just realized that I can feel pain in this said dream.
"Am I really inside of that game right now"
