Kelvin spent the rest of the day reminiscing Sword God Ouyang Shou's memories and it was as though he had lived that life himself and at the same time watched someone else as a spectator.
It was a peculiar feeling but even as this was his fourth time in someone else's memories, he still couldn't help but be impressed by the world of cultivation, it was incredibly inspiring.
At this time, the Holo-Tv in the hospital room suddenly blinked and then changed as an incredibly beautiful woman in a news room suddenly spoke.
"Good evening. I'm Jasmine Faith, and the world is holding its breath." Her voice carried an electric excitement. "In just sixty seconds, GTA 10: Bloodline Online, the virtual reality game promising 99.8% realism and boating's itself as Earth's second world, will finally launch. Millions of players across every continent are logged in and waiting."
The camera suddenly zoomed out to reveal a second figure a sharp-eyed man in his forties
A holographic nameplate materialized beside him: Guest: Tsutoki Flatine, Professional Gamer & Analyst.
Jasmine turned to him with a smile. "Tsutoki, you've been gaming for over two decades. What's your take on this launch?"
The man's face was dead serious as he stared forward.
"This game isn't just a game but is rumored to be our only chance at survival. Earth's evolution is accelerating. That mysterious energy saturating our atmosphere? We still don't understand it, and it's killing us. Meanwhile, Eleon Dusk, the same man who made space tourism possible twenty years ago suddenly partners with Rockstar to release a hyper-realistic virtual world? That if he's not preparing us for a game? What if he's preparing us for the next world?"
The female news caster was slightly surprised but didn't lose her cool an laughed lightly. "A fascinating theory, and one that's certainly captured the internet's imagination." She took a quick glance at something off-screen. "Now, with just 15 seconds left to the games launch, we hope fans all over the world enjoy the game and make sure to have fun. This is Jasmine Faith, signing off for now."
The countdown began, numbers glowing in 3D right across Kelvin's face.
10… 9… 8…
Kelvin frowned slightly. Was the game going to really as realistic as they said it would be?
"I guess I have to find out myself."
Kelvin slowly raised his weakened hand which trembled violently. Then he clicked on the pendant of the necklace.
Suddenly, there was a mechanical humming sound as the necklace suddenly start to disassemble it self as Liquid Metal flowed upward Kelvin face and in a single second, it had formed a purple full helmet all over his face.
"Neuro-Link activated."
By the time he knew what was happening, he blanked out.
3…
2…
1…
[Ding!]
Kelvin's eyes suddenly snapped open and he saw that he was in a completely white room.
The room was so white Kelvin couldn't even see if there was a door nearby or the entire world was just white.
"Is this what they call 99.8% realism? Any neuro-link game could do —"
Before his words could finish, his arm lifted up before him. "What?"
He raised his left arm and they responded to him as he wanted. That wasn't all, he noticed he wasn't wheezing as thought he was about to die. Moreover, the lethargic feeling of weakness his body had gotten used to over the past five years had vanished!
He suddenly felt his heart thump wildly like a raging bull. It didn't seem as though he would die very soon!
"Insane!"
Naturally, there are virtual games you could play that would simulate reality by deceiving your brain but that feeling of weakness would still be present, like a candle flickering in the wind.
But here, he felt alive, even more alive that he had been since he could remember.
He jumped up and he could feel his legs catch him as he landed perfectly. He called his hand rapidly and his muscles didn't deny him the joy.
It was as though his soul had entered a whole new body.
"Damn! I can't believe this is real."
Tears streamed down Kelvin's face and even when he tried to stop, he couldn't help himself.
In the next second, a robotic voice echoed.
[Welcome To Bloodline Online. What name would you like to choose?]
"Uhm, sniff. Kelvin."
[Sorry, the name Kelvin has been chosen.]
"Motherfucker!" Kelvin instantly cursed the person who chose the name before he did."
[Sorry, the name 'Motherfucker' he been selected. Please choose another name]
Kelvin was in disbelief. 'Are people actually that stupid?'
"Kravin."
[Player has chosen the name 'Kravin'. Would you like to confirm this name?]
"Yes, confirm."
[Ding! Player 2,343,345,345 has been randomly selected to choose a random bloodline]
[Analyzing soul signature]
[Ding! Four unique soul signature… Impossible parameters…Error in scanning]

[Player Kravin, please select your primary weapon]
Suddenly, a rack containing weapons of various types, size and color appeared before Kelvin.
Kelvin heared the bloodline message as well as the holographic subtitle that floated above him and he simply ignored the as he stared at his let and right fingers, flexing in command.
[Player Kravin, decided not to use weapon. You can still select a primary weapon in the game. Good luck!]
Suddenly, the space before Kelvin cracked and the plain whiteness of the room shattered as the space crank increased.
Kelvin found himself free falling from the skies and plummeting to the ground. However, instead of scrsmjng and shouting in terror, he laughed happily and giddily as his arms flailed all around in the air.
Suddenly, he heard various sounds of scream all around him.
"Ahhhhh!"
"What the fuck is going in!?"
"Is by first death going to be by falling?!"
Various screams echoed through Kevin's ears a he felt other plummeting like him.
All of a suddenly, the howling wind stopped, the shriek and the scream all stopped and Kelvin realized he was actually standing on grass.
"Grass." Kelvin was mesmerized as he bent down to touch the grass. It felt incredibly real. He immediately tug on it and sand from the root scattered upwards and the settled due to gravity.
He inhaled the saint if the grass and there was no doubt in his mind that this world was no different than earth!
"This is no different than a real world!" Not just Kelvin, other players were

suddenly shattered silently
immediately woke Kelvin up and he
