?Thwack


    A big bulky legnded on a young man''s stomach who looked like he was just a bag of skin and bones.


    "Did I or did I not tell you to stay away from her? How dare you show your face here, bitch?" A muscr guy wearing a branded suit spat out as hended another kick on the skinny figure.


    This made him buck down and copse, coughing more blood on the ground.


    "Darling .... Be careful. Don''t kill him. I do not want you to face any problems because of me. I only want you to scare him a little, that''s all." A girl wearing a ck dress chimed in.


    "Nah babe... this bitch is quite stubborn and quite durable. Isn''t that right, Roan? Tell me, do you still want to see her?"


    Not getting any reply, the muscr guy raised his leg tond another hard kick on the almost dead and curled-up manying on the ground. Lucky for him before the muscr guy kicks him anymore, that girl came forward and stopped that guy.


    "Babe enough, let''s not spoil our mood for a worm." She said that and bent down and grabbed his hair. Pulling the hair, she bent down a little and came closer to his ears.


    "This is myst warning to you, Retard. I am way out of your league. You need a better ce to live. You are a loser who got thrown by his family. I was with you because I thought of you as a guy who can at least provide for me. But looked at you! You are nothing but a beggar. I do not want to associate with a beggar. You and I are part of a different world. Stop dreaming about me. Go look in the mirror, then you will find the difference between us."


    She released his hair. She spat on him. Taking out her handkerchief, she rubbed her hand as if she had touched a speck of untouchable dirt. She looked at him with a frown on her face and then threw the dirty handkerchief at him. She turned around and went back to her group.


    "Come on guys, I give the ultimatum to that retard. If he dares toe again, then he is all yours."


    The muscr young man nodded to her and motioned to the guards beside him with his hand. Guard nodded their head.


    After this, the group of young men and women walked away without even batting an eye at him.


    After that group walked away, guards acted ording to the signal. They grabbed him by his shirt and dragged his body to a side alley. Reaching there, they just threw him in the alley like a rag doll. Getting thrown like that, his body smashed into the side wall. Guards left him behind without even checking his condition.


    Roany still,pletely silent and frozen. He had a shocked look on his face, but it was not because he got thrashed by his Ex-girlfriend''s men. No, this was not a big deal for him, but it was because of something different...


    Just a few mins ago, He was in the battle to protect the core. The dungeon core on which his future depended. He was fighting to protect the core of 1 of the 5 unique dungeons in ''Liberty Online''. The specialty of these 5 dungeons was that the master of these 5 dungeons were yers instead of NPCs or Monsters.


    All of this started 4 years ago when the mysterious game ''Liberty Online'' gotunched. This game changed the perspective of the world.


    ''Liberty Online'' had breathtaking realistic graphics and extremely intelligent NPCs who could outsmart the yer. This game was far more advanced than anything humanity had ever seen.


    It was a world of its own and within 4 years 98% of Earth''s poption had joined the game. Well, that was the number of distant future. After the auction houses opened, the in-game currency was linked to real-world currency. People started spending real money to buy in-game money and vice versa.


    Seeing this, many multi-billion-dorpanies joined the game to get a piece of this big cake called ''Liberty Online.''


    The strong guild and yers earned enormous sums of money and gained investment from big corporations. Like many, he joined the game hoping to achieve something big, but he was just a pawn, a ve Of the ''Moonar shine'' guild where each one of his hard-earned contributions was snatched away by his superiors leaving him only with some scraps.<novelnext></novelnext>


    At a time, when everyone was progressing quickly, he had trapped himself in dealing with the guild. With increasing pressure in the game and from his family, he finally quit the guild. This led to a huge bacsh. Guild took every item from him. The funny thing was that all those items were hard-earned by him. In the game, they left him with scraps.


    This news reached his abusive parents. On one side where his brother and sister were settled and doing great, on the other side, he lost everything within a movement. His parents took him getting out of the guild as a failure. Their zero tolerance for failure led to them kicking him out of the house.


    One year of him ying ''Liberty Online'' led him to the footpath. Almost 40% of the earth''s poption was part of ''Liberty online''. The game, which was yed for enjoyment, had now be a source of livelihood for many. Lagging behind those top yers for an entire year, still he took another chance at ''Liberty Online.''


    He rented a scrap apartment and bought a ''Liberty Online'' gaming pod from his whole saving from working as a guild ve for the entire year and continued his struggle.


    He got a breakthrough. Within one month of leaving his home, he had time to change everything. He got a unique ss.


    Liberty Online is a mysterious game that had much unique and unheard-of gamey. Each of these gamey was associated with unique sses.


    Among them, some famous sses are hero candidates, saints, popes, champions, and many more. The list of these hidden and unique sses was uncountable.


    Among these hidden sses, there was a ss known as dungeon master. The dungeon master would get a dungeon to manage in the game. Yes, it was the ss he would get as his second chance. Every hidden ss provides immense power to the user, but these sses all had many dangerous restrictions on them.


    One of the most dangerous restrictions ced on the Dungeon master ss was that, under all circumstances, they have to protect their dungeon core.


    If the dungeon core got broken, then the ount of the Dungeon master would get deleted. This was the most dangerous restriction for the Dungeon master ss.


    Getting that ss was a lifesaver for him. In the entire game, there were only 5 dungeon master sses. He did everything he could to strengthen the defense of his dungeon. He spent the next 3 years improving his dungeon. But this all crumbled apart when a few high-ss, unique yers came to invade his dungeon.


    As they attacked floor after floor of his dungeon, he came to realize the ws present in his dungeon, but it was toote to change anything. Still, he somehow defended at the start. But someone betrayed him and sold information about the monster present in his dungeon.


    This helped invaders greatly. They started conquering one floor after another. He came to know many major faults in his thought process, but that understanding came veryte. He came to know how he wasted his time on the wrong thing as a Dungeon master.


    ''Liberty Online'' was never a forgiving game. His mistake led to the invader entering the top floor, where the core of the dungeon was present.


    A few mins prior, he was fighting against many other yers to protect his dungeon core.


    But how could hepare to other monsters who werepeting against each other to destroy his dungeon core? They had all the information about the monsters'' weaknesses in his dungeon.


    Not able to defend against them, he saw how that yer shed at the dungeon core. The dungeon core broke into many pieces and, along with the core, his character started getting erased little by little.


    Not able to handle that situation, he got a massive pain in his chest. The pain increased, and everything became nk in front of his eyes.


    He died without being able to do anything but somehow he returned to the past, not at the beginning no he only returned 3 years ago when he got his own unique ss. DUNGEON MASTER.
