People were watching movies, grilling skewers, dancing in bars, and even making out with others. There were all kinds of people, doing all kinds of things. Luckily, upon Doomsday's release, the players' real-world bodies were untouched by anything outside of the game and couldn't be interacted with at all. During that period, it was as if time had stopped within Grendola, and things wouldn't return to normal until the next day. Otherwise, just the act of entering the game would have been catastrophic. Plenty of couples getting intimate in real life would've been completely exposed. After all, no one could hold their breath for eight hours straight, not to mention those on the road. … Piper stood inside the town of Spawnpoint 9527, completely stunned. I wasn't even playing Doomsday. How did I end up inside here? Also, since when were there this many players at the spawnpoint? Why did they seem so familiar, like her neighbors from the same residential complex? Just then, Martin sent her a message. 'Piper! Are you there? Holy crap, this is weird. I was having supper with Jonathan and the guys, and all of a sudden, we got pulled into this game. Get this—I actually ran into them at the spawnpoint earlier!" What? Piper widened her eyes in disbelief. Even people at supper had been dragged into the game. Was this not a dream? Martin sent another series of texts. 'Holy crap! I don't know what's going on, but I've got a feeling that Doomsday is the key to changing the world. This is amazing! Everyone's been pulled into the game, and since we're beta testers, we've got a huge advantage. This is our chance at winning!' 'Also, I just realized we're unable to log out of the game. It's like they've locked us all inside! Didn't I tell you entering the game was the right move? Gosh, you didn't even want to come. I've got great foresight! This is what I call vision! Do you think those blockheads could ever come close to me?'Martin kept rambling on, every line filled with excitement and pride. "What in the world?" Piper was too shocked to speak. Even though Martin had mentioned something weird happening at the hospital earlier, she never took it seriously. She never imagined a game could actually influence reality. Could they not log out of the game? Didn't that mean a person's strength in Doomsday would basically determine their status in real life? "Gosh…" As soon as that thought crossed her mind, Piper's heart began pounding wildly. She opened the Leaderboard, staring fixedly at the single name at the top. Her eyes shimmered with longing and desire. "I need to look for Nighthale! If I tag along with him, I can turn my awful life around and crush everyone who's ever looked down on me." It felt like the gears of fate had begun to turn. Even Martin had sensed that Doomsday was far from ordinary, and there were plenty of people with more access to information than him. Although everything had developed far beyond anyone's expectations, the world certainly didn't lack intelligent individuals. Half an hour later, under the coordination of these so-called elites, everyone gathered and analyzed data, gradually forming a clear picture of the situation. First, everyone in Grendola had been forcibly logged into Doomsday as long as they were above sixteen. Second, the logout button had disappeared, and players couldn't exit on their own. Third, the players' spawnpoints were linked to their real-world locations. The closer people were in real life, the closer they appeared in-game. Each spawnpoint corresponded to a specific area. Fourth, when creating their characters, appearance, and gender couldn't be changed. Everyone started with identical base stats. Fifth, real-life disabilities didn't affect in-game stats. Even people who had been in comas for years were pulled into the game. They'd found hundreds of clues, the numbers still growing as more information trickled in. After the beta players patiently explained what they knew, everyone realized they had to survive the game no matter what. Aside from that, the most urgent priority was figuring out how to leave the game and return to reality. But even the beta testers, with their limited game experience, were at a loss. "Where's Nighthale? Isn't he at the top of the Leaderboard? Has anyone asked him if he knows a way out?" "Yeah! Weren't there over a million players in the beta phase? He's the only one who's been able to level up this fast. Does he know something we don't?" "This guy levels up like he's using cheats. Is he a Game Master or something?" "Is he that amazing?" Naturally, almost everyone's attention shifted to Aiden. There was no helping it. After, only his name was on the massive leaderboard.
