Evergreen Forest, Violent Thunder Village
A gentle breeze of early summer swept across the village, proclaiming the start of the season.
As the morning rays awoke the entire village from its slumber, hunters headed into the forests, farmers tilled the fields, and the laughter of children could be heard as they ran through the fields.
Inside an elegant room, filled with all manner of furniture and paintings that screamed wealth, Alex sat up in bed, his senses still relishing the feel of the cashmere embracing his body.
His gaze still hazy, his eyes began to wander around the room, which provoked a feeling of nostalgia and confusion.
"William Stormwind"
Then a wave of memories flooded his head.
"So everything I remember is real," he growled, massaging his forehead and organizing his memories. "So I really did transmigrate into Ragnarok Online."
Ragnarok Online is the full-immersion MMORPG that single-handedly crushed the video game industry, positioning itself as number one in every ranking worldwide. With an epic soundtrack and unmatched character and item customization, it created a global community of millions of adventurers exploring the vast and mythical world of Pandora.
Pandora is a world of epic fantasy where every update releases a world-destroying threat, from undead invasions and Evil Dragons turning prosperous kingdoms to ashes, to entire cities being sacrificed to the abyss overnight.
This was the kind of crazy world he had reincarnated into.
His name was Alex Martinez, a college dropout who abandoned his civil engineering degree to dedicate himself completely to Ragnarok Online, becoming a legendary berserker in the game. He earned his living by farming items and acting as a 'bus' for rich kids in the game.
But he was not like other common players who lived from paycheck to paycheck. He was a legendary player, even though he never joined any of the major Guilds or entered the classification lists.
The weight of a legendary title alone was enough for him to live a comfortable life in reality while remaining an independent force within the game, exploring dungeons, and doing odd jobs here and there.
"Why me?" With a groan of sadness, the memories of his death as Alex flashed before his eyes.
While entering his virtual reality capsule to watch the assault of the 5 Great Guilds against the end-of-version World Boss, the God of Order, a short circuit disabled the life support systems and burned out the electronic locks of his T5000X capsule, causing his death by suffocation as he struggled to open his electronic coffin.

"Wake up." With a hard slap, he decided to shake off the feelings of his death and focus on his apparent transmigration.
Giving a look at the strange but familiar room he was in, his gaze focused on a green potion on his nightstand with a note attached.
"Young Master, this is an Epic Vitality Potion made by the master of shadowy courtship. I was assured that it will cure any hidden injury the incident might have left." - Baldric
Feeling phantom pain from remembering the whole experience, Alex… no, now William, took the potion and drank it in one gulp, allowing the warm energy of the potion to flow through his body, recovering his bruised body.
William began to get up and leave the bed, using an ergonomic cane in his right hand. After all, receiving a kick from a 2-meter mutated horse to his 'little William' is not something that heals easily.
Furthermore, the previous William was an underage mixed-race barbarian who hadn't begun to train battle qi. The little lord of this village had decided to go hunting using a magnificent horse that was just beginning its domestication. William, believing he was its destined rider, ignored all warnings and tried to mount it.
But the horse ended up kicking the young William, leaving him in a coma for a week.
As he approached the large mirror in the room, he couldn't help but admire his new body.
"This height, this silky black hair, those crimson eyes, and an athletic physique… this is worth it." With a single glance, his will to continue in this world became firm; after all, his death on Earth is a reality.
His only option is to continue in this crazy world, to fight and survive.
"Although, because of these crimson eyes and this physique, it seems I'm a mixed-race of demon and barbarian." Although he had received William's memories, everything was too confusing in his head.
William left his room, heading to the manor's living room, and taking a seat on a sofa, he began to recall everything about the history of Pandora.
"William Stormwind D'Amouris Noctilunae, one of the border lords in the Evergreen Forest—that's strange, it doesn't ring a bell." During the internal beta, all players descended into neutral territories like this, and those were the first experiences of all players.
Alex was one of the first players who fought against the invasion of darkness led by the Dark Knight in the Evergreen Forest. It makes no sense that he cannot remember William being one of the border lords.
The situation William was in was far from simple. He was a minor lord in the Evergreen Forest territory, located between the human and demonic continents.
None of the Neutral Lords was a simple character; each possessed a distinct and interesting history along with the power to establish themselves and form cities of exiles or criminals who escaped from the two continents.
"It makes no sense to have been reincarnated into an unknown character, without the necessary level to be a city lord."
While pondering the reason behind his reincarnation, another thought inevitably came to light.
"Perhaps this character was created for his reincarnation." But when he thought about that, a shiver ran down his body. He could act as if luck had made him reincarnate into his favorite game, but being sent here by an unknown entity, for God knows what kind of twisted games, was something that terrified him immensely.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar sound inside his head.
