Shi An is the last Abyss Dragon in the world. Since he was bored, he decided to go into a deep sleep while hugging his treasures.
After fifty thousand years of satisfying slumber, Shi An opened his eyes only to discover that he had become a weak human with short hands and legs.

Where is my powerful and majestic body?
My big tail? Most importantly, where are my treasures?!
After thousands of years of hard work, sleeping just once has sent me to square one.

Each studentas magic power is measured at the beginning of the school year.
Shi An looked at the three destroyed magic detection equipment and innocently asked, aEh? Are these equipmentas quality not very good?a
During actual combat training, low-ranked monsters fled before Shi An could get close.
Shi An looked at their fleeing figures and innocently exclaimed,
aYay, lucky!a
Everyone else was speechless.

I believe I am dreaming.

Mu Hengaahuman speciesa strongest mageaais the only remaining human who bears the noble dragon slayer bloodline.
He coldly and arrogantly said, aDragons? Extinction is their best outcome.a
A long time later, Mu Heng turned his head back to look at the dragon cub reclining on the piles of treasure.
Mu Heng withdrew his gaze and leisurely asked, aAre there any other jobs? I want a well-paid one.a
Extinction is out of the question now.
As a matter of fact, I can only earn more money so that I wonat get kicked out of bed at night.

In the year 2139, the world changed. Fundamentally and irrevocably.
Everything happened too quickly. The sky cracked like an egg and armored dinosaur-like monsters lurched out of the fissure. The split, though small at first, quickly widened. Within a few short hours, these beasts had overrun the world.
Countries, even those who had been enemies for centuries, sounded a global alarm. Political differences were cast aside as humans scrambled to find a solutionaany solutionato what became known as the Great Disaster 1.0.
Human experimentations began, first in reluctance, then in earnest. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, failure rates remained high. Desperate for results, global authorities started turning a blind eye to how experimental subjects were sourced.
Countless victims were kidnapped and trafficked to state-run laboratories. Shi Tian was but one of them. But unlike those who died nameless, in pain, and unrecognizable, he had the fortune of surviving after being injected with humanityas last hopeaan integrated chip.
Excepta| the chip remained dormant. It seemed that certain circumstances must be met before the chip could be activated. What those circumstances were, even the scientists in charge could not answer.

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs.

With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter.
aDo as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice. a The elf said, looking at him with clear hatred.
aWe will see about that.a Alexander flatly replied. aI love challenges.a He added.
aVery well!a The elf harrumphed. aHave the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last.a He sarcastically added.
Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships.
But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so.
Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now!

The universe. This infinite field of stars is the dream of every Hunter.
For the Hunters who run amidst the stars, the only limit they truly have is the universe.
Is there a limit to the universe? And where would this limit lay?
When the Shadow Hunter; a young man named Cillin obtains a strange chip by accident, he begins his journey into this endless field of stars.

My name is Lu Xin. Iam one of the few normal people in this world.
A lot of my colleagues ask me how I could be so calm in the face of a crisis.
I smile without saying anything. When I get home from work, my parents and sister are already waiting for me at the table.
aBrother, why should we be afraid of those monsters? They should be afraid of us.a

Late 21st century, the acclaimed game Company Elden Throne released yet another immersive action MMORPG after a decade of silence.
While the world was getting ready for this new Supermassive MMO, Dale Houston trained his body every day in preparation for its eventual worldwide release.
Not because Dale wanted to get healthy or muscular, but because he saw a glimpse of the secrets hidden by the Megacorporation.
All because of what he found out one year ago... This time, he wasn't here to play the game.
He would find all of the secrets, things he couldn't even imagine...
It wasn't about the game anymore.
...
*Author's thoughts:
So! What this is actually about?
As you read in the Title, there was an old version of this work going by the same name.
Because of some problems, I had to leave it alone for a few months, and after I came back I realized neither I nor my readers remembered much, so I decided to go from the start again.
I'll be re-editing every single chapter I made to make a more conclusive story while also tying up loose plot points and bringing them forward as I re-reading through everything.
As in the synopsis, this is an MMORPG story with a big emphasis on the real world and how the game affects reality in more than a socio-economic way, so this isn't the story about a guy playing a game and getting rich with a bit of drama.
This is a story about how the game impacts the real world and vice versa.
A story about a secret so big it could change society and the world... No, it will.
The Mc isn't a chosen one and instead was someone who found something out of his own effort and the story progresses from that point, you can take it as he being favored by the plot, but at the very least this is a better plot initiative then the boy who survived Avada Kedavra through the power of Love... Just kidding, Harry is sick.
There will be a few more explanations to help you with understanding his personality and goals better.
No romance planned for at least the first 200 chapters, however, we'll have some candidates as we go by including, you could say, a Main Female lead.
But there are plans for interactions with other players and side characters as we go by.
The story will be divided into 2 parts, we are currently on the first part and the focus is on the game.
Don't misunderstand, getting out of the game to do something in real life doesn't mean we are going through a phase, you'll know once it happens.
Things may change along the way but that's how things are.
The main aspect of this series is about Dale exploring this new world, Azimuth while building up his forces that will eventually become a Kingdom.
At least the first part of it.

When I woke up, I found myself inside a spaceship.
