White Online

Isaac left the Update Log and noticed that there were only two choices.

Log Out and Update Log.

There was no button to enter White Online.

Isaac looked around the dark space and wondered what he should be doing next.

It seemed like he was trapped, with no way out.

''How can I enter White Online…'' He murmured, but once the words left his mouth, the holographic screen started changing.

*SWOOSH*

Like a bolt of lightning, the white holographic screen struck Isaac's forehead and infiltrated his mind!

''Ahh!'' The impact of the sudden attack sent Isaac flying thousands of kilometers!

During his flight, his body started turning into pixels, starting from his toes.

Isaac's hazy vision started changing, and soon he saw soft-looking clouds.

In his vision, he traveled through the thick layer of cloud, and below them, he saw a mesmerizing sight.

In front of him, five realms were stacked on top of each other.

Top Realm was almost heaven-like, with beautiful golden buildings and mesmerizing lakes, waterfalls, and forests.

The second Realm was pure white in color like the whole Realm had only one season, winter!

Third Realm was almost entirely in color of orange, yellow, and in red.

The sight was incredibly majestic, making Isaac speechless, but then he saw the fourth realm.

Heavy rain everywhere in the realm.

A thick layer of dark-colored clouds poured water down.

Everywhere in the realm, the same phenomenon was seen.

And finally, Isaac saw the fifth realm, which looked much more familiar to him.

The bottom realm had only one season, summer.

Beautiful greenery, lush forests, and tall mountains.

Soon, Isaac noticed how close his body was to the ground!

''Ahh!'' A scream escaped his mouth as his body was nearing the ground with deadly speed, but the next time he blinked, his vision had become black.

He couldn't feel his body, only emptiness, and coldness.

'Did… I… Die?'

Soon, his dark vision started changing, and his blurry vision started seeing outlines of items.

He felt himself sitting on top of something soft, and soon, he started feeling his fingers and the rest of his body.

Once his eyelids were opened fully, he saw the living room of his rented apartment.

He was sitting in the same place where he was before the Update.

''Whew… That was a crazy trip…'' Isaac stood up and went to the kitchen to wash his face.

From the sink, water poured down rapidly.

Isaac put his hands below the sink and took a handful of the water before splashing it on his face.

''Whew…'' He grabbed a towel and wiped his face clean.

Once he was done, he put the towel back on the hanger and went back to the living room, but then he heard a loud sound of cheering.

*Cheers!*

Isaac frowned, and at first, he heard the sound of cheering, but then he heard the sound of drumming.

A sound of hollow rumble echoed from far away, all the way to the living room, where Isaac was standing.

*Dun*

*Dun*

*Dun Dun Doom Dun Dun*

''What is that noise…'' Isaac left the building and looked towards the City Square, but the sight shocked him to the core.

A large Colosseum-like building was somehow built in a matter of hours, and it was the easily biggest building on Outer Layer.

A flashing of lights and loud drumming sound came from the Colosseum like a massive party was ongoing.

While he was standing dumbly, his neighbors walked past him with excited faces while pointing towards the Colosseum.

After they walked past him, Isaac finally saw everyone walking towards the Colosseum with excited faces.

The streets were busy, with NPCs of every age rushing towards the Colosseum.

The Players who appeared after getting beyond shocked after reading Update Logs were utterly shocked at the sight.

Some of them followed behind the crowd of NPCs, while others stayed behind to calm down.

Few Players in the streets were looking with disbelief at the sight, and it didn't take long for everyone to see that there was another new building only a few blocks away from Colosseum.

A large four-floor building made from yellowish and white marbles was also a new attraction in the City of Stronglord.

While the NPCs only looked curious at the building, the Players felt nervous.

On top of the building, a golden sign was enough to make everyone both pressured and excited at the possibilities.

[World Bank]

Impatient Players rushed towards the World Bank to be the first ones to transfer their in-game money to real-life currency.

Most of them had barely earned 1000$, but it was still an astronomical sum for many of the younger generation.

Isaac saw most of the chaos that was happening with his excellent eyesight, and he felt overwhelmed.

''White Online will never be the same…'' He knew that everyone would be desperate to earn White Coins, and many might rely on stealing, which made him remember one class that was rather specialized in stealing.

'Thief Class… I better be on the lookout.'' Isaac knew that if even one soul knew about the wealth he was hiding, he would be hunted down.

While many were desperate to earn real-life money, Isaac wasn't as desperate, instead knew that he needed White Coins for multiple purposes.

Mainly for Realm Portals.

Isaac looked around the City, trying to find where the Realm Portals were located, and it didn't take long for him to see an unbelievable sight.

In the City Square, four stone doors made a square in the middle of the City Square.

NPCs had no idea what it was for, and even Players looked confused.

Not many could continue focusing on other things after reading about World Bank.

*SWOOSH*

Isaac, NPCs, and every Player in the Stronglord raised their heads and saw fireworks exploding in the sky, making a beautiful spectacle.

The children cheered with excitement while their parents looked with smiles.

Because of the fireworks, Colosseum stole everyone's attention.

NPCs and Players alike turned their gazes towards the Colosseum.

Isaac wasn't any different.

''Colosseum… Is that the World Arena?'' He rubbed his chin and decided to check it out.
