Within the popular VRMMORPG «New Genesis», there was a ranker by the name of Arthur Holmes, commonly known by his in-game alias «Merlin».

Arthur was one of the few original beta testers still playing after 30 years, he was originally a ranker, a player whose entire goal was to stay at the top, ahead of everyone else.
However after 15 years he sacrificed his player ranking in search of knowledge.

Arthur became a lore hunter, a player who indulges himself with the world’s vast lore and unexplored history, preferring to uncover the world’s secrets rather than endlessly fighting monsters.

At the age of 48, 30 years after the game came out, Arthur uncovered the greatest secret of all, and yet, ironically, his negligence in levelling up was the one thing holding him back from realising his goal, he knew he would never be able to catch up to the rankers, a gap of 15 years was Impossible to overcome.

If only he could restart… Collapse

      That's a good question. Honestly no idea when or even if they're going to update it.

      But you can read the five new chapters currently out on webnovel for free through the fastpass system.

      You can get two fast passes per day for doing the daily check-in and voting with a power stone, which you get back each day.

          Yeah, I'm the author.

          Having your stuff pirated is kind of inevitable as a content creator, so I don't really see the point in being upset about it. Plus we're all pirates, it'd be hypocritical for me to do so. :P

          Instead I've been enjoying reading through the comments, and some people here have been very kind and gone out of their way to give me five stars on my webnovel page and have started using their powerstones on my book daily, which I appreciate a lot and it has almost bumped me up into the top 200 for weekly rankings.

          I've just started writing as a hobby, and although I make a little bit of money off of it, it's not income I depend on. So that might be a contributing factor as to why I don't really mind.

          But honestly, I just want people to enjoy what I've made. It is why I went down the creative route instead of being something boring that makes more money.

          Anywho yeah, that's my mentality behind it.

    I have a question on this novel. Does the VR have an effect on the Real life ? Like for example if you cultivate in the VR does it allow you to cultivate IRL ? Or do the cultivation techniques in it work IRL ?

      no, the VR is just a game, the time travel is due to the magical thing which powers the game

            Well I like novels where the MC gets stronger... Like Guild Wars or strongest sword god... What's the point of playing a game if it doesn't make you stronger when in a novel...

              I get what you mean since those are the only type of novels I like most of the time since if they only grow in game what’s the point?

              The tags that ranobes put on the novel don't really help much. But there should be a mystery tag or something of that sort.
              The main point of the novel isn't fighting and getting stronger, but discovery and mystery.

              Uncovering the secrets of the game, revisiting things he has done in the past and doing them faster, until he eventually makes his way to the place he couldn't reach before and conquers it.
              There are also mysteries to solve outside of the game, but those will come with time.

    A hidden gem I didn't expect finding, I was skepitcal for the first few chapters but now I'm hooked. If you're looking for something new in the VR category this is it.

        When the beta test ends, then everything that gg did in the game will be reset or saved?

        I read 30 chapters and already enrages a few moments, especially the moment where the main character appears in the lobby in front of everyone for 10 seconds only to be followed after that, and he tried to hide, why write such shit ??? (English is not my native language)

      Pure VR game.

      MC wont be throwing fireballs around in the real world or anything.

      But the real world has its own surprises.

    Im enjoying the novel so far, it feels realistic and the main character's motivations seem realistic for the most part, however I feel that for a character with the name Merlin not to have become a mage, only being capable of 3 very basic spells that literally anyone can pick up by CH142 is somewhat strange, I came into the novel expecting something like the novel Mages are too OP with a mage main character in a "virtual reality" world that is suspiciously realistic, then to learn that he is capable of using some sort of magic in the real world (though this has been hinted through his strange temporal ability that has triggered thrice)

      The only reason he uses merlin as a name is that his real name is Arthur, as in merlins student in the fairy tale

        Yeah, there is that. Which I thought was fun. (A lot of my names are either puns, references, etc.)

        But there's also that Merlin is sort of the embodiment of the wise wizard trope, which is a big part of Merlin's goal, (Lore hunting, discovering secrets, etc.)

      Not with the main character, no.

      I'm trying to keep the MC's focus on the story and mystery elements.

      But there is a little bit of romance hinted at between a few background characters.
