White Online

”Hmm? ” Niko opened his eyes while feeling a strange sensation around his body. Whenever he tried to move his toes or fingers, they felt stiff, and every step he took seemed tedious to him.

”Damn, is the training helmet fucking Bronze? ” He already felt like this was a waste of time. While he and his friends have the skill required to become Top Players in White Online, their real-life responsibilities are keeping them from reaching their full potential.

Whoosh!

”Hmm? ” Suddenly, Niko ’s stiff neck flexed as he spotted a flying projectile bearing down on him!

A slight tilt of the head was all he needed to dodge it without wasting any time. Nevertheless, the maneuver did not seem flawless when doing so. Rather, it was as though someone was pulling his head, forcing him back, and trying to prevent him from actually dodging.

It was a bullet that was shot in the air but did not hit the target and vanished upon missing it. It was not long after that another bullet flew from the empty space, and this time it was traveling a bit faster.

In the second shot, Niko took a step back, and the bullet just missed him by a hair, ”Is this what we have to do? Dodge until we die. What a waste of time. ”

Suddenly, the roof began to crack, and a dozen arrows crashed through the ceiling.

A few bloody scratches appeared around the thighs of Niko as he moved out of the way, having to weave through a few arrows. His body ’s reaction time was delayed by one second as a result of the stiff movements.

”Fuck this! ” He screamed toward anyone who was listening. His personal VR Helmet was Gold Ranked. This was the product that he had spent his hard-earned money on, and he had never regretted it even once.

Having battled with Bronze Helmet for some time, now he was thankful that he had Gold instead of this piece of shit, making every movement of his body worse with every passing minute.

Then, he was swallowed up by the ground when it suddenly opened up and swallowed him whole. While his mind felt like it was swimming, whenever he opened his hazy eyes, all he could see was a misty blackness.

Later, the vision changed, and he saw the smiling face of the teacher.
