Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro moved rapidly towards a long tunnel that seemed without end. Once he entered that tunnel, his brain found itself completely frozen as many memories began to flood into his mind without pause. It was the memory of him attending the System Battle Royal. 

After quite some time, he managed to free himself from all these memories, which came with his exit from that tunnel. He landed in a wide open land, the same land he left before when he was in the Zeraxos game world. 

He looked around him while he recalled the past scenes that happened here, it seemed like it was from another lifetime. 

Ibro sighed as his mind started to sort out all the scattered new memories to know what exactly happened to him before. He linked all that with Ren warning him from before, he shouldn't trust any race except the human race. Ibro asked at once:

'Have we got the technology core?'

'Yes, I put it inside your storage ring.'

'Good, now move me into my world.'

The system paused for a second as he said:

'What do you plan to do?'

Ibro smiled evilly as he said:

'I believe the time and space jump function has been disabled, right?'

'Yes, the time node we saved before had been erased strangely. I can't link to it anymore. How do you know that?'

'It's simple, the time clan has joined the war against humans, so it's logical to assume they have erased that time node.'

'So you intend to go back to that world through the teleportation portal? how do you know it still works?'

Ibro sighed as he said:

'I don't, but I hope it still is. Let's go inside and check it first.'

'Sigh, you intend to fight back there and neglect here? Do you know that your time freeze advantage has been stopped?'

Ibro's interest was piqued at once by this point which he forgot amidst his disturbed mind, so he rushed to ask:

'What is the meaning of this anyway? Is this ability important?'

The system replied without any delay:

'Very, Very important. Any system holder has the time freeze ability granted to him, as he can move from a world to another without the fear of the passage of time. time only passes at the world you are at, so you can return to any world and find nearly no time has passed there, even if you went to the future or past. 

But now, you lost it, so every minute you waste at any world passes at every other world you went to. That means you need to select the worlds you want to act at carefully.'

Ibro felt how deep this scheme was against him, but it also made him realize how dangerous he and all of his friends and villages were facing right now. As his system said, he needed to select the worlds he needed to act at very wisely, so he asked:

'What about my pocket space worlds? the time there is different than here, right?'

'Yes, your pocket space worlds' time isn't affected by this.'

'Good,' Ibro then clenched his fist firmly as he added, 'Now, move me inside the world near the teleportation portal.'

'Are you sure about this?' The system asked again.

'Yes, that fiend is afraid of me, or to be specific he is afraid of my interference at the passageway battle, so I need to attend this battle at the very least and make sure everything is under our control.'

'…'

Ibro then was transported from Zeraxos world to inside his own world. he knew he had a lot of things to do at Zeraxos world, but he must first secure his rear and be sure that enemy of his wouldn't be able to set foot at that universe, which he considered his own property. 

In front of the teleportation portal to the game universe, he found that his skeleton armies were still flooding without stopping towards that world. 

Although he had sent most of his armies before to that world, his liches, death kings, death knights, and dragons kept summoning new skeletons here, which was something he felt grateful for. If he wasn't a necromancer, he would have faced great trouble dealing with his enemies, and he would lose without doubt.

'It seems that portal still works.'

'Yes, which is quite strange indeed.'

'It's not strange, that universe is under my jurisdiction now, so they can't interfere with this portal, especially because they don't know about its existence.'

'You mean they thought you summoned skeletons there by your necromancer abilities only?'

'Yes, that must be their guess, I doubt they knew about my portal being linked to my space world, or they would have destroyed this portal already. Let's go back, I need to assess everything myself.'

Ibro just passed through that portal to find himself back at the gate world again, but this time he found something weird waiting for him. there was a strange vision high in the sky which showed the ingoing brutal war between skeletons, NPCs, and demons.

'That is the passage's world vision,' the system said.

'That means the war has already started, and unfortunately my armies are losing. Move me towards the place of that huge city near the center of this world, I need to enter that passageway immediately.'

'…'

Ibro started to move from place to another, while his eyes were focused on that distant vision in the sky. Surprisingly his armies were losing, and the reason for that was due to these huge numbers of flying demons at the battlefield. 

He knew why that fiend tried to push him away from here, because Ibro was the only one who could stop these aerial attacks. Losing these flying demon legions meant losing the war for the demons. 

Ibro took nearly five hours to reach that city from the place of his teleportation portal. Once Ibro reached there, he wasn't polite as he flew directly above the airspace of this city, which was an act that attracted the attention of all the NPCs in this city, including Drigory.

"My king, you came just in time, our situation there is very critical."

Ibro looked at the distressed Drigory before saying with confidence:

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, those demons can forget about setting a single foot over this universe. Let's go to the passageway world now."
