The inside of the VR pod was completely silent.
Arjun's stream was still running, and thousands of viewers were watching.
Suddenly—
[Initializing Soul Realm System...]
A white light filled Arjun's vision.
His body felt strangely light.
Then a calm mechanical voice appeared.
[Scanning Player...]
Chat immediately exploded.
"BRO IT'S STARTING."
"THIS IS REAL VR."
"WHAT IS THIS TECHNOLOGY?"
Arjun swallowed nervously.
"Okay… this is actually happening."
The system continued.
[Scan Complete]
[First Player Detected]
A golden window suddenly appeared.
Special Reward Activated
Arjun blinked.
"…First player?"
The chat went insane.
"YOU ARE THE FIRST PLAYER???"
"BRO THAT'S A LEGENDARY START."
Another window appeared.

Arjun's eyes widened.
"…Hidden class??"
The system explained.

However—
Another message appeared.
Skills Locked
To unlock magic abilities, visit the Magic Academy.
Arjun stared at the screen.
"…Wait. I can't use magic yet?"
Chat laughed.
"BRO THEY TROLLED YOU."
"GO TO THE ACADEMY."
Then suddenly—
Light flashed again.
Arjun felt wind on his face.
When he opened his eyes—
He was standing in a beautiful village.
Stone roads.
Wooden houses.
People walking normally.
Birds flying overhead.
Arjun slowly turned his head.
"…Guys."
His voice was quiet.
"I think I'm inside the game."
The chat exploded.
"THAT LOOKS REAL."
"WHAT GRAPHICS IS THIS??"
Arjun touched the ground.
The grass bent under his fingers.
"…It feels real."
For a moment he simply stood there in shock.
Then he noticed something.
At the far end of the village—
A massive white building stood tall.
A huge gate.
Tall towers.
A banner with magical symbols.
Arjun whispered.
"…That must be the Magic Academy."
But instead of going there immediately—
He looked around the village.
"So first… let's explore."
And the first player of blue world began walking through the unknown village.
