New World, A Second Breath
My name is Ace.
Or… at least, that's the name I chose in this world.
Back then, I was nothing more than a professional gamer—top ranker in nearly every major MMORPG, living behind screens, basking in the glow of monitors and the constant rhythm of clicking keys.
The real world? Empty.
The game was my only home.
Until that day...
Until I died.
Not from illness. Not by suicide.
But because I jumped in to save an old woman from being hit by a car on a rainy night.
Cliché? Maybe.
But I have no regrets.
Because the moment I opened my eyes again, everything had changed.
The sky was a deep violet, streaked with shimmering auroras.
The air itself pulsed with magic.
And my body… this body felt far stronger than it ever had before.

This isn't a game.
This is reality.
But it feels like a game—complete with systems, stats, and skills.
And this… is where my story begins.
